Double Sequence Iterations for Strongly Contractive Mapping in Modular Space
In this paper, we consider double sequence iteration processes for strongly $rho$-contractive mapping in modular space. It is proved, these sequences, convergence strongly to a fixed point of the strongly $rho$-contractive mapping.
متن کاملReorganization energy for internal electron transfer in multicopper oxidases.
We have calculated the reorganization energy for the intramolecular electron transfer between the reduced type 1 copper site and the peroxy intermediate of the trinuclear cluster in the multicopper oxidase CueO. The calculations are performed at the combined quantum mechanics and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) level, based on molecular dynamics simulations with tailored potentials for the two copp...
متن کاملProtein structure and evolutionary history determine sequence space topology.
Understanding the observed variability in the number of homologs of a gene is a very important unsolved problem that has broad implications for research into coevolution of structure and function, gene duplication, pseudogene formation, and possibly for emerging diseases. Here, we attempt to define and elucidate some possible causes behind the observed irregularity in sequence space. We present...
متن کاملNew insights into the catalytic active-site structure of multicopper oxidases.
Structural models determined by X-ray crystallography play a central role in understanding the catalytic mechanism of enzymes. However, X-ray radiation generates hydrated electrons that can cause significant damage to the active sites of metalloenzymes. In the present study, crystal structures of the multicopper oxidases (MCOs) CueO from Escherichia coli and laccase from a metagenome were deter...
متن کاملDifferential expression of the three multicopper oxidases from Myxococcus xanthus.
Myxococcus xanthus is a soil bacterium that undergoes a unique life cycle among the prokaryotes upon starvation, which includes the formation of macroscopic structures, the fruiting bodies, and the differentiation of vegetative rods into coccoid myxospores. This peculiarity offers the opportunity to study the copper response in this bacterium in two different stages. In fact, M. xanthus vegetat...
