Following the prescription of Ref. [1] in which perfect state transference (PST) of a qubit over distance regular spin networks was discussed, in this paper PST of an arbitrary d-level quantum state (qudit) over antipodes of more general networks called pseudo distance-regular networks, is investigated. In fact, the spectral analysis techniques used in the previous work [1], and algebraic struc...

Proton-translocating ATPase (H(+)-ATPase) was purified from mung bean (Vigna radiata L.) roots. Treatment of this enzyme with the arginine-specific reagent 2,3-butanedione in the presence of borate at 37 degrees C (pH 7.0), caused a marked decrease in its activity. Under this condition, half-maximal inhibition was brought about by 20 millimolar 2,3-butanedione at 12 minutes. MgATP and MgADP, th...

LacY mutant Cys154 → Gly exhibits a periplasmic-closed crystal structure identical to the WT, but is periplasmic-open in the membrane. The mutant hardly catalyzes transport, but binds galactosides from either side of the membrane with the same affinity and is resistant to site-directed proteolysis relative to the pseudo-WT. Site-directed alkylation was also applied to 11 single-Cys mutants in C...

Intravenous drug abuse is an increasing social and health problem. Repeated injuries to the veins, injection of some types of insoluble substances, and needle sharing habits result in various complications. Increasing incidence of major vascular complications has been reported worldwide. The objective of this study was to determine the epidemiology of vascular lesions in drug abusers. Medical r...

Conventional treatment for cancer such as surgical resection and chemotherapy can cause damage in cases with advanced cancers. Moreover, the identification of tumor-specific targets has great importance in T-cell therapies. For decades, T cell activity has been stimulated to improve anti-tumor activity. Bispecific antibodies have attracted strong interest from pharmaceutical companies, for thei...

A synthetic Sendai virus-like recombinant RNA was used to develop a model system for pseudo-templated transcription of the P/C gene. The synthetic RNA molecule contains a 42-base stretch of nucleotide sequence derived from the RNA editing site of the P/C gene embedded into the chloramphenicol acetyltransferase gene. When this construct was rescued into Sendai virus, it was found that this 42-ba...

Combined with our aircraft combat capability, this paper aims at the unmanned aerial vehicles automatic attack process of single target, in accordance with the principle of maximum killing the enemy and establish the model of target threat based on the situation of two sides. According to the importance of our members, defense model, and the enemy motion trajectory with the threat model and the...

Artificial DNA cutters have been developed by us in our previous studies by combining two strands of pseudo-complementary peptide nucleic acid (pcPNA) with Ce(IV)-EDTA-promoted hydrolysis. The pcPNAs have two modified nucleobases (2,6-diaminopurine and 2-thiouracil) instead of conventional A and T, and can invade double-stranded DNA to activate the target site for the scission. This system has ...
