Differential membrane fluidization by active and inactive cannabinoid analogues

Fluidization and Active Thinning by Molecular Kinetics in Active Gels.

We derive the constitutive equations of an active polar gel from a model for the dynamics of elastic molecules that link polar elements. Molecular binding kinetics induces the fluidization of the material, giving rise to Maxwell viscoelasticity and, provided that detailed balance is broken, to the generation of active stresses. We give explicit expressions for the transport coefficients of acti...

Comparison of Quality of Life between Active and Inactive Workers

Introduction: Numerous important factors such as physical and mental condition affect the quality of life Job stress is one of the key factors in decreasing productivity in organizations. Given the positive effects of physical activity on quality of life, this study aimed to compare the quality of life between active and inactive workers (case study). Methods: This study was a cross-sectional ...

OMP peptides modulate the activity of DegS protease by differential binding to active and inactive conformations.

Upon sensing misfolded outer-membrane porins (OMPs) in the periplasm, the E. coli DegS protease cleaves RseA, a transmembrane regulator, transmitting a signal to activate cytoplasmic gene expression. Misfolding is detected by binding of normally inaccessible OMP sequences to the DegS-PDZ domain, which relieves allosteric inhibition and activates proteolysis. Here we show that DegS stimulation c...

Production of Active and Inactive Catalase by Proteus

Considerable general information on the production of cat alase by micro-organisms is available. As a rule, the reports discuss the production of catalase by different species of bacteria and fungi, without giving much specific information regarding its production under various conditions and at different stages of growth. The existence of catalase in an inactive state has long been recognized....
