We review recent developments in the rapidly growing field of membrane biophysics, with a focus on the structural properties of single lipid bilayers determined by different scattering techniques, namely neutron and X-ray scattering. The need for accurate lipid structural properties is emphasized by the sometimes conflicting results found in the literature, even in the case of the most studied ...

Targeted glycoproteomics is an effective way to discover disease-associated glycoproteins in proteomics and serial affinity chromatography (SAC) using lectin and glycan-targeting antibodies shows glycan diversity on the captured glycoproteins. This study suggests a way to determine glycan heterogeneity and structural analysis on the post-translationally modified proteins through serial affinity...

An attempt has been made to use this composite structural member as a column with a modification of flutes on the steel tube which enhances the aesthetics and development area of sheet by which the moment of inertia gets increased by about 17 to 40 % for rectangular flutes and 9 to 23 % for triangular flutes. Confining concrete by providing triangular and rectangular shape fluted steel tube has...

The Ramachandran plot is important to structural biology as it describes a peptide backbone in the context of its dominant degrees of freedom-the backbone dihedral angles φ and ψ (Ramachandran, Ramakrishnan & Sasisekharan, 1963). Since its introduction, the Ramachandran plot has been a crucial tool to characterize protein backbone features. However, the conformation or twist of a backbone as a ...

In this paper we study the response of 2D framed structures made of reinforced concrete to the sudden removal of columns. For comparative reasons, the 2D frames are considered as part of 3D structures with same overall structural mass and external load potential. In particular, we study two sets of 2D frames, with different height-bay ratio λ of the structural cells. Each set counts 3 frames wi...
