A steric-hindrance model has been used to explain the regulation of muscle contraction by tropomyosin-troponin complex. The regulation of binding was studied by microscopic observation of mixtures of fluorescent subfragment 1 (S1) with rigor myofibrils at different actin-to-S1 ratios and in the presence and absence of calcium. Procedures were adapted to protect the critical thiols of S1 before ...

Let X be a non empty normed structure and let s1 be a sequence of X. The functor ( ∑ κ α=0(s1)(α))κ∈N yielding a sequence of X is defined as follows: (Def. 1) ( ∑ κ α=0(s1)(α))κ∈N(0) = s1(0) and for every natural number n holds ( ∑ κ α=0(s1)(α))κ∈N(n + 1) = ( ∑ κ α=0(s1)(α))κ∈N(n) + s1(n + 1). One can prove the following proposition (1) Let X be an add-associative right zeroed right complementa...

STUDY DESIGN Biomechanical, cadaveric study. OBJECTIVE To compare the fixation strength of a novel S1 pedicle screw insertion technique in a revision setting to a standard S1 pedicle screw and an L5 pedicle screw. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Fusions to the sacrum remain a difficult clinical challenge. Very few salvage techniques exist when a nonunion occurs. METHODS The biomechanical integ...

OBJECTIVES   We identify the contrast volumes needed to reach specific landmarks during S1 transforaminal epidural injections (S1-TFEIs). DESIGN   Prospective, nonrandomized, observational human study. Setting.  Academic/private pain management practice. Subjects.  Forty-two patients undergoing S1-TFEIs were investigated. Thirty-seven patients were included in this study. Interventions.  S1-T...

It is known that ternary complexes of myosin subfragment 1 (S1) with ADP and the Pi analogs beryllium fluoride (BeFx) and aluminum fluoride (AlF4-) are stable analogs of the myosin ATPase intermediates M* x ATP and M** x ADP x Pi, respectively. Using kinetic approaches, we compared the rate of formation of the complexes S1 x ADP x BeFx and S1 x ADP x AlF4- in the absence and in the presence of ...

We show that if F :S1 → S1 is a homeomorphism of the unit circle S1 and the rotation number α(F ) of F is irrational, then the Schröder equation Φ ( F(z) = e2πiα(F Φ(z), z ∈ S1, has a unique (up to a multiplicative constant) continuous at a point of the limit set of F solution. We apply this result to prove that if F is a non-trivial continuous and disjoint iteration group or semigroup on S1 an...

S1 Table. Properties of available TCR structures. For each X-ray structure TCR names used in the literature are listed and the relevant TCR chains within one biological unit are indicated. Loci and alleles of the TRAV, TRBV, TRAJ, and TRBJ were assigned using the IMGT Gene/DB [1] and the sequences of the CDR loops are listed for comparison of the different subtypes (Mutations within the framewo...
