In the current work, we demonstrate how coordination chemistry can be employed to direct self-assembly based on strong hydrophobic interactions. To investigate the influence of coordination sphere geometry on aqueous self-assembly, we synthesized complexes of the amphiphilic perylene diimide terpyridine ligand with the first-row transition-metal centers (zinc, cobalt, and nickel). In aqueous me...

This study explores the use of multiple sequence alignment (MSA) information and global measures of hydrophobic core formation for improving the Rosetta ab initio protein structure prediction method. The most effective use of the MSA information is achieved by carrying out independent folding simulations for a subset of the homologous sequences in the MSA and then identifying the free energy mi...

Several studies on large and small families of proteins proved in a general manner that hydrophobic amino acids are globally conserved even if they are subjected to high rate substitution. Statistical analysis of amino acids evolution within blocks of hydrophobic amino acids detected in sequences suggests their usage as a basic structural pattern to align pairs of proteins of less than 25% sequ...

one priority of planning at the regional level is to recognize the system of residence and particularly its urban system. one of the features of urban system in each area or country is the way of population distribution between the cities of these areas which is called city distribution size. in functional analysis of mazandaran province 41 development indexes of educational, cultural, social, ...

the aim of this study was to assess the environmental impact of socio-cultural practices on the water quality of river ganga at the foothills of the garhwal himalayas in uttarakhand state, india. the physico-chemical parameters that contributed to the temporal variation and pollution in the river were identified in this study. principal component analysis (pca) and cluster analysis (ca) were us...

this paper presents results of hydro-chemical processes controlling groundwater chemical composition, using an integrated application of hierarchical cluster analysis and factor analysis of a major ion data set of groundwater from mighan playa aquifer. cluster analysis classified samples into four clusters(a, b, c and d) according to their dominant chemical composition: cluster a (dominant comp...

genetic  diversity  is  the  basis  of  the  natural  evolution  of  plant  breeding  and  biological  system  are  important  components  of  sustainability. the aim of this study was to evaluate 116 genotypes of triticum turgidum from seven countries in terms of morphological traits. the results showed that high significant differences among the genotypes. the correlation between grain yield ...
