Single molecule force spectroscopy by AFM indicates helical structure of poly(ethylene-glycol) in water
We elongated individual poly(ethylene-glycol) PEG molecules tethered at one end to an AFM cantilever. We observed the resistive force as a function of elongation in different solvents. In all cases the molecular response was found to be fully reversible and thus in thermodynamic equilibrium. In hexadecane the stretched PEG acts like an ideal entropy spring and can be well described as a freely ...
متن کاملAn Active Structure that Learns
Tensegrity structures are composed of cables and struts that become stable through self stress. They are good candidates for implementation of active structural control because their flexibility may mean that they cannot meet serviceability criteria. Changes to the self stress influence the form of the structure. A reliable closed-form solution for obtaining control commands for telescopic comp...
متن کاملAnticonvulsant Effect of Cicer arietinum Seed in Animal Models of Epilepsy: Introduction of an active Molecule with Novel Chemical Structure
Background: Cicer arietinum (Chickpea) is one of the most important harvests in the world with high nutritional value. Lack of essential oils in the seeds of Chickpea is an advantage in search for drug-like molecules with less toxicity. We evaluated anticonvulsant effect of C. arietinum in common animal models of epilepsy. Methods: Dichloromethane extract was obtained from C. arietinum seeds by...
متن کاملCatalysis of DNA cleavage and nucleoside triphosphate synthesis by NM23-H2/NDP kinase share an active site that implies a DNA repair function.
NM23/NDP kinases play an important role in development and cancer but their biological function is unknown, despite an intriguing collection of biochemical properties including nucleoside-diphosphate kinase (NDP kinase), DNA binding and transcription, a mutator function, and cleavage of unusually structured DNA by means of a covalent enzyme-DNA complex. To assess the role of the nuclease in hum...
متن کاملSite Specific Cleavage Mediated by MMPs Regulates Function of Agrin
BACKGROUND Agrin is the key inducer of postsynaptic differentiations at the neuromuscular junction. The multidomain heparan sulfate proteoglycan is mediating via its N-terminal segment the interaction with laminin, whereas the C-terminal portion is responsible for Dystroglycan binding and clustering of the Acetylcholine receptor. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are known to play essential roles...
