We present a coarse-grain protein model PaLaCe (Pasi-Lavery-Ceres) that has been developed principally to allow fast computational studies of protein mechanics and to clarify the links between mechanics and function. PaLaCe uses a two-tier protein representation with one to three pseudoatoms representing each amino acid for the main nonbonded interactions, combined with atomic-scale peptide gro...

Friday " I don't see what's so funny? " " Really, " Dr. Egerton continued to force a thin dry chuckle. " Because I think it's pretty funny. Don't you feel funny even saying it? " " No I do not feel funny saying it, " XienCheng spat back with disdain. " Because it isn't funny. It isn't funny at all. Do you have any idea how much money the Ceres mine lost last week? " " I have no idea, " Egerton ...

Abstract We mapped all boulders larger than 105 m on the surface of dwarf planet Ceres using images Dawn framing camera acquired in Low Altitude Mapping Orbit. find that are more numerous toward high latitudes and have a maximum lifetime 150 ± 50 Ma, based crater counts. These characteristics distinctly different from those asteroid (4) Vesta, an earlier target Dawn, which implies Ceres’ mechan...

High-resolution mapping of Ceres, Vesta and the icy satellites Saturn, Uranus Pluto reveals a rich variety well-preserved impact crater morphologies on these low gravity bodies. These objects provide natural laboratory to study effects composition formation processes under similar surface conditions (though mean velocities vary by several factors). Simple craters occur all bodies but subtle dif...
