Structural comparisons among the short-chain helical cytokines.
BACKGROUND Cytokines and growth factors are soluble proteins that regulate the development and activities of many cell types. One group of these proteins have structures based on a four-helix bundle, though this similarity is not apparent from amino acid sequence comparisons. An understanding of how diverse sequences can adopt the same fold would be useful for recognizing and aligning distant h...
متن کاملGene finding for the helical cytokines
MOTIVATION Gene finding remains an open problem well after the sequencing of the human genome. The low gene sensitivity of current methods is a problem for divergent protein families, because fairly accurate exon assemblies are required before sensitive fold recognition algorithms can be applied. This paper presents a new genomic threading algorithm which integrates the gene finding and fold re...
متن کاملA Note on the Comparisons among Coherent Systems
Using the concept of system signature introduced by Samaniego (1985), Kochar et al. (1999) compared the lifetimes of the systems in which the lifetimes of the components are independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables. Their results are extended to the systems with exchangeable components by Navarro et al. (2005). This paper gives some alternative proofs to obtain th...
متن کاملStructural Supply Chain Collaboration Among Grocery Manufacturers
Both academicians and practitioners have extensively explored the important topic of supply chain collaboration. Most research, however, has focused on unilateral coordination via pricing signals or tactical opportunities such as Vendor Managed Inventory or Collaborative Planning, Forecasting and Replenishment (CPFR). Our research fills a gap in the current literature by quantifying the opportu...
