Acta Crystallographica Section A: Foundations of Crystallography covers theoretical and fundamental aspects of the structure of matter. The journal is the prime forum for research in diffraction physics and the theory of crystallographic structure determination by diffraction methods using X-rays, neutrons and electrons. The structures include periodic and aperiodic crystals, and non-periodic d...

Anion exchange reactions of nanodimensional layered metal hydroxide compounds are utilized to create materials with targeted physical and chemical properties and also as a means for controlled release of intercalated anions. The kinetics of this important class of reaction are generally characterized by model-based approaches. In this work, a different approach based on isothermal, isoconversio...

and Applied Analysis 3 We now define two maps S1 and S2 : Ω → C t0,∞ , R as follows: S1x t ⎧⎨ ⎩ a t x t − τ , t ≥ t1, S1x t1 , t0 ≤ t ≤ t1, S2x t ⎪⎨ ⎪⎩ − 1 n − 1 ! ∫∞ t s − t n−1p s f x s − σ ds, t ≥ t1, S2x t1 v t − v t1 , t0 ≤ t ≤ t1. 2.5 We will show that for any x, y ∈ Ω we have S1x S2y ∈ Ω. For every x, y ∈ Ω and t ≥ t1 we obtain S1x t ( S2y ) t ≤ a t v t − τ − 1 n − 1 ! ∫∞ t s − t n−1p s ...

Virus-cell fusion is the primary means by which the human immunodeficiency virus-1 (HIV) delivers its genetic material into the human T-cell host. Fusion is mediated in large part by the viral glycoprotein 41 (gp41) which advances through four distinct conformational states: (i) native, (ii) pre-hairpin intermediate, (iii) fusion active (fusogenic), and (iv) post-fusion. The pre-hairpin interme...

assay–typebinding assay, the equilibriumdissociation constant (Kd) for the interactionwas established in the range of 10 M. Based on the measured Kd, it was calculated that in plasma approximately 1% of FXIII-A2 should be in free form. This value was confirmed experimentally by measuring FXIII-A2 in plasma samples immunodepleted of FXIII-A2B2. Free plasma FXIII-A2 is functionally active, and wh...
