Indole-3-glycerol phosphate synthase catalyzes the terminal ring closure step in tryptophan biosynthesis. In this paper, we compare the results from molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of enzyme-bound substrate at 298, 333, 363, and 385 K and the enzyme-bound intermediate at 385 K, solvated in TIP3P water box with a CHARMM force field. Results from MD simulations agree with experimental studies...

We fill a gap in the proof of a (rather critical) lemma, Lemma B.1, in Jin and Zhou [Mathematical Finance, Vol. 18 (2008), pp. 385–426]. We also correct a couple of other minor errors in the same paper.

The bacterium Tropheryma whipplei, which causes Whipple disease in humans, is commonly detected in the feces of persons in Africa. It is also associated with acute infections. We investigated the role of T. whipplei in febrile patients from 2 rural villages in Senegal. During June 2010-March 2012, we collected whole-blood finger-prick samples from 786 febrile and 385 healthy villagers. T. whipp...

In many patients, the etiology of community-acquired pneumonia is not known but may be caused by previously undescribed pathogens in some cases. The recently identified hantavirus Sin Nombre (SN) causes hantavirus pulmonary syndrome. Because sporadic cases have occurred outside the range of its reservoir (the deer mouse Peromyscus maniculatus), an investigation sought to determine whether hanta...

Ethical norms for business practices differ by intensity and variety across countries so managers from multinational corporations (MNCs) entering transitional economies must be able to staff subsidiaries understanding this dilemma. The aim of this article is to get a better understanding of workers’ behavior and attitudes with respect to business ethics in Croatia. We explored four ethics issue...

In this paper, we present the VI-CCD photometry of 11 unstudied clusters located in the bar of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), as a part of a project aimed to infer the star formation history of this galaxy. We derive the ages of these clusters by means of isochrone fitting. Three close pairs of clusters are included in the sample, namely NGC 1903-SL 357, SL 349SL 353, SL 387-SL 385. We discu...
