Virginiamycin M inhibits both peptide bond formation and binding of aminoacyl-tRNA to bacterial ribosomes, and induces a lasting inactivation of the 50 S subunit (50 S). In the present work, the effects of this antibiotic on the acceptor and donor sites of peptidyltransferase have been explored, in the presence of virginiamycin M as well as after its removal. Virginiamycin M inhibited the bindi...

Objective: To study the drinking behavior and factors associated with drinking among female High School students in central Thailand. Material and Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 6,176 female students from central Thailand, who were classified into 2 groups according to their alcohol drinking practices in the past year (yes = 612, no = 5,564). Information was collected by an ...

Various quantities in our work are based upon the model by Chevalier et al. [2]. Here we briefly discuss the key components of that approach and we provide details of how we have used their mathematical development to obtain mean first passage time (MFPT) expressions, as well as how we have tested the accuracy of such expressions. The needle complexes are represented by small circular (2d) and ...

The first sacral nerve root block (S1 nerve root block) is a practical procedure for patients with radiating lower back pain. In general, S1 nerve root block is performed under x-ray fluoroscopy. It is necessary to adjust the position of the patient and angle of fluoroscopy to properly visualize the first dorsal sacral foramen (dorsal S1 foramen). The purpose of this study was to analyze the lo...

Diphenylmethane dyes are very useful photoinduced molecular rotors; however, their photophysical mechanisms are still elusive until now. In this work, we adopted combined static electronic structure calculations (MS-CASPT2//CASSCF) and trajectory-based surface-hopping dynamics simulations (OM2/MRCI) to study the S1 excited-state relaxation mechanism of a representative diphenylmethane dye Auram...
