Introduction As databases of protein sequences and properties increase in size, it becomes more and more reliable to depend on previously classified proteins to determine the structure and function of a novel protein. One method of determining homology between two proteins is through a pair-wise sequence alignment of their primary structures. It has been found that two proteins that are homolog...

We report the sequence of several MALactivator genes, including inducible, constitutive, and noninducible alleles of MAL23, MAL43, MAL63, and ma164. Constitutive alleles of MAL23 and MAL43 vary considerably from inducible alleles in their C-terminal domain, with many of the alterations clustered and common to both alleles. The 27 alterations from residues 238-461 of Ma143-C protein are sufficie...

The detrimental effect of hydrogen on metals which manifests itself as a transition from ductile to brittle failure mode is, for the first time, incorporated into unified continuum-scale predictive framework. complete Gurson model, designed predict by voiding, is extended include decohesion. Hydrogen enhanced plasticity accounted through acceleration voiding process while induced decohesion rea...

This work proposes a simulation approach to characterize the behavior of DP600 steel subjected micro indentation tests. Axisymmetric and three-dimensional artificial RVEs were generated with statistical data from metallographic images. FEM simulations tests used Gurson model Rodriguez-Gutierrez equation. There is proposed new parameter called spherical radius quantify closeness hard particles i...

We looked at various alignment algorithms with different scoring schemes. We argued that the score of an alignment is related to the relative likelihood that the two sequences are related compared to being unreleated, and we used the log-odds ratio to express this relative likelihood while maintaining an additive scoring scheme. Therefore, maximizing the score of an alignment was in some sense ...
