Can Simulations be Recycled to Benchmark RNA Force Fields

Recycled IL-7 Can Be Delivered to Neighboring T Cells.

IL-7 is a key homeostatic cytokine that provides signals for T cell survival and proliferation in vivo. In this article, we provide evidence that IL-7 utilization is enhanced by a novel mechanism of cytokine "recycling" during which T cells treated with rIL-7 are rapidly induced to express p-STAT5 and are subsequently able to recycle biologically active cytokine for release to neighboring cells...

Force fields for protein simulations.

Force fields and molecular dynamics simulations

The objective of this review is to serve as an introductory guide for the non-expert to the exciting field of Molecular Dynamics (MD). MD simulations generate a phase space trajectory by integrating the classical equations of motion for a system of N particles. Here I review the basic concepts needed to understand the technique, what are the key elements to perform a simulation and which is the...

Knowing Afghanistan: Can there be an end to the saga?

War on terrorism, as the motto which formed the cornerstone of global policies of former     neo-conservative administration of the United States, is increasingly becoming ineffective in Afghanistan with the dreaded consequence of spilling over into Pakistan. This inevitable consequence of War on    Terrorism in Afghanistan has brought the West face to face with the ‘nest of terrorism’ that CIA...

Can masticatory electromyography be normalised to submaximal bite force?

The combination of bite force and jaw muscle electromyography (EMG) provides an insight into the performance of the stomatognathic system, especially in relation to dynamic movement tasks. Literature has extensively investigated possible methods for normalising EMG data encapsulating many different approaches. However, bite force literature trends towards normalising EMG to a maximal voluntary ...
