Electron transfer collisions with oriented trifluoroacetic acid (CF3CO2H).
Electron transfer collisions between neutral K atoms and neutral, oriented trifluoroacetic acid molecules, CF(3)CO(2)H, are studied in crossed molecular beams at center of mass energies from 6 to 18 eV. An electron transfer produces a pair of ions with enough energy to escape the Coulomb attraction, and the ions are detected in separate time-of-flight mass spectrometers. The principle ions form...
متن کاملWhy is DsbA such an oxidizing disulfide catalyst?
DsbA, a member of the thioredoxin family of disulfide oxidoreductases, acts in catalyzing disulfide bond formation by donating its disulfide to newly translocated proteins. We have found that the two central residues within the active site Cys-30-Pro-31-His-32-Cys-33 motif are critical in determining the exceptional oxidizing power of DsbA. Mutations that change these two residues can alter the...
متن کاملWhy Is Neonatal Anaesthesia Such a Challenge?
Approximately 1.5 million neonates receive general anaesthesia each year for surgical procedures. Providing anaesthesia to neonates is not easy. Surgical procedures are often difficult and extensive, and the physiology of neonates makes respiratory and cardiovascular problems more frequent and life-threatening. The paper covers the changing concepts in neonatal anaesthesia, including recent stu...
متن کاملWhy there is no such discipline as hypercomputation
The editors have kindly invited me to write an introduction to this special issue devoted to ‘‘hypercomputation’’ despite their perfect awareness of my belief that there is no such subject. In [5], I rather thoroughly debunked the claims of two of the leading proponents of this supposed branch of learning. In this brief introduction I will content myself with some general remarks. The analysis ...
متن کاملWhy Modeling Cultural Evolution Is Still Such a Challenge
The idea that cultural evolution exhibits variation, competition, and inheritance and therefore can be studied by adjusting the Darwinian theory of evolution by natural selection is an attractive one. It has been argued by a number of authors (e.g., Campbell 1960; Monod 1970; Dawkins 1976; Cavalli-Sforza and Feldman 1981; Boyd and Richerson 1985; Durham 1991; Aunger 2002; Mesoudi et al. 2004) a...
