Regulation of protein kinases; controlling activity through activation segment conformation.
There are currently at least forty-six unique protein kinase crystal structures, twenty-four of which are available in an active state. Here we examine these structures using a structural bioinformatics approach to understand how the conformation of the activation segment controls kinase activity.
متن کاملControlling spins with light.
The interaction of sub-picosecond laser pulses with magnetically ordered materials has developed into an extremely exciting research topic in modern magnetism. From the discovery of sub-picosecond demagnetization over a decade ago to the recent demonstration of magnetization reversal by a single 40 fs laser pulse, the manipulation of spins by ultrashort laser pulses has become a fundamentally c...
متن کاملNonlinear plasmonics: controlling light with light
Many scientists believe that the future of signal processing and computing lies not within electronics but in the field of subwavelength optics. Controlling light at sub-wavelength scales, forbidden by traditional far-field optics, relies on surface plasmon techniques. Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) are electromagnetic waves that exist on the surface of metals such as gold or silver. The int...
متن کاملControlling light-with-light without nonlinearity
According to the fundamental Huygens superposition principle, light beams traveling in a linear medium will pass though one another without mutual disturbance. Indeed, the field of photonics is based on the premise that controlling light signals with light requires intense laser fields to facilitate beam interactions in nonlinear media, where the superposition principle can be broken. Here we c...
متن کاملArchitectural Caustics — Controlling Light with Geometry
Caustics are captivating light patterns created by materials bundling or diverting light by refraction or reflection. We know caustics as random side effects, appearing, for example, at the bottom of a swimming pool. In this paper we show that it is possible to control caustic patterns to form almost any desired shape by optimizing the geometry of the reflective or refractive surface generating...
