Davydov’s model of solitons in α-helix protein chains is shown to display features of self-organized criticality (SOC), i.e., power law behaviour of correlations in space and 1/f noise, as a consequence of considering random peptide group displacements from their (periodic) equilibrium positions along a chain. This may shed light on a basic mechanism leading to obtain flicker noise in α-helix p...

We prove that the cyclic and constacyclic codes constructed by Grassl Rötteler in International Symposium on Information Theory (ISIT), pp. 1104–1108 (2015) are generalised Reed–Solomon codes. This note can be considered as an addendum to pp (2015). It also appendix Ball Vilar IEEE Trans Inform 68:3796–3805, (2022) where Conjecture 11 of (2015), which was stated for Grassl–Rötteler codes, is pr...

background: sandhoff disease is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by β-hexosaminidase deficiency and accumulation of gm2 ganglioside resulting in progressive motor neuron manifestations and death from respiratory failure and infections in infantiles. pathogenic mutations in hexb gene were observed which leads to enzyme activity reduction and interruption of normal metabolic cycle of gm2 ga...
