Stereoisograms of octahedral complexes are classified into five types (type I--typeV) under the action of the corresponding RS-stereoisomeric group. Their enumeration is accomplished in a type-itemized fashion, where Fujita's proligand method developed originally for combinatorial enumeration under point groups (S. Fujita, Theor. Chem. Acc., 113, 73--79 (2005)) is extended to meet the requireme...

Introduction: Obesity as a pervasive phenomenon in recent years has the risky consequences on public and oral health and endangers the teeth especially periodontal tissues. This aim of this study was to assess the relationship of oral health (teeth and periodontal tissue) with obesity and anthropometric measures such as waist circumference (WC) and body mass index (BMI). Materials &Methods: ...

The segrosome of multiresistance plasmid TP228 comprises ParF, which is a member of the ParA ATPase superfamily, and the ParG ribbon-helix-helix factor that assemble jointly on the parH centromere. Here we demonstrate that the distinctive parH site (∼100-bp) consists of an array of degenerate tetramer boxes interspersed by AT-rich spacers. Although numerous consecutive AT-steps are suggestive o...

The centromere and promoter factor Cpf1 binds centromere DNA element I found in all centromere DNAs from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We analyzed thirty different point mutations in or around CEN6-CDEI (ATCACGTG) for their relative binding affinity to Cpf1 and these data were compared with the in vivo centromere function of these mutants. We show that the minimal length of the Cpf1 bindi...
