ClpX binds substrates bearing specific classes of peptide signals, denatures these proteins, and translocates them through a central pore into ClpP for degradation. ClpX with the V154F po e mutation is severely defective in binding substrates bearing C-motif 1 degradation signals and is also impaired in a subsequent step of substrate engagement. In contrast, this mutant efficiently processes su...

The Francoist state, in collusion with the Church, tried to domesticate women's bodies and encode dressing patterns accordance Catholic moral doctrine. This article interrogates normative notion of femininity Francoism, focusing on ecclesiastical discourse dress code. Church dictated norms, Franco regime sanctioned a great extent its sartorial parameters. paper also explores how women embodied ...

After an analysis of some actual models for bacteria-phage interaction we present a new differential equations system where the susceptible cell population is physiologically structured by the number of viral receptors on which an attach-detach mechanism is regarded. The interaction takes place in a limited resources environment, modeled via the logistic equation, and in company of a phage resi...

This paper proposed a fine-grained modularization framework which decomposes the styling of a typical hypermedia presentation into fine-grained style modules (FGSM). A FGSM presenting a specific fragment of the source content document can be regarded as a building block that can be assembled into a final hypermedia presentation. By switching the FGSMs, a content document can be presented in dif...

Long recognized as a defi ning feature of religion, prayer, paradoxically, has received only sporadic empirical attention. Recent investigations in the U.S. and the Netherlands have sought to address this gap by exploring the topic of prayer in programmatic fashions, signifi cantly advancing the state of the art in terms of measurement of the practice of private prayer. The present paper fi rst...

2-Silicon-substituted 1,3-dienes containing non transferrable groups known to promote transmetallation were prepared by Grignard chemistry and enyne metathesis. These dienes participated in one pot metathesis/Diels-Alder reactions in regio- and diastereoselective fashions. Electron-rich alkenes showed the fastest rates in metathesis reactions, and ethylene, a commonly used metathesis promoter s...

Fiber optic cables are widely used in modern systems that must provide stable operation during exposure to changing environmental conditions. For example, a fiber optic cable on a satellite may have to reliably function over a temperature range of -50°C up to 125°C. While the system requirements for a particular application will dictate the exact method by which the fibers should be prepared, t...
