We consider the unit tangent sphere bundle of Riemannian manifold ( M, g ) with g-natural metric G̃ and we equip it to an almost contact B-metric structure. Considering this structure, we show that there is a direct correlation between the Riemannian curvature tensor of ( M, g ) and local symmetry property of G̃. More precisely, we prove that the flatness of metric g is necessary and sufficien...

To estimate how extensively the ensemble of denatured-state conformations is constrained by local side-chain-backbone interactions, propensities of each of the 20 amino acids to occur in mono- and dipeptides mapped to discrete regions of the Ramachandran map are computed from proteins of known structure. In addition, propensities are computed for the trans, gauche-, and gauche+ rotamers, with o...

Local region conservation has been observed in recent years and become more and more important in structure biology. Recent researches point out that local conservation regions are correlated to protein functional sites and functions and studies show that some local conservation on sequence or structure are close to binding area. Hence, in order to realize how function works, we can discover lo...

The high pressure behavior of the structural and electronic properties of KC1 is studied with use of the density functional pseudopotential method within local-density approximation. Atzero pressure, the rocksalt phase is found to be lower in energy than CsCl structure. However, we predict a phase transition into CsCI structure at a pressure of about 1.5 GPa. The calculated ground state pro...
