Mutations in the FH gene, encoding human fumarase, are associated with fumarate hydratase deficiency (FHD) and hereditary leiomyomatosis and renal cell cancer (HLRCC). Fumarase assembles into a homotetramer, with four active sites. Interestingly, residues from three of the...

We study the relationship between l-groups, Bézout domains, and MV -algebras. Our main motivation and starting point has been the Jaffard-Ohm correspondence between Abelian l-groups and Bézout domains ¶ μ 3 ́ Bézout domains with non-zero unit radical ¶ μ 3 ́ Unital l-groups ¶ μ 3 ́ MV -algebras ©© ©© ©© © HHHHHH ——————————– and Mundici’s equivalence between Abelian unital l-groups and MV -algebras...
