purpose to verify whether active recovery (ar) applied after a kickboxing match resulted in better performance in anaerobic tests when compared to passive recovery (pr). methods eighteen kickboxers volunteered to participate on a kickboxing match preceded and followed by anaerobic tests: squat jump (sj), the counter movement jump (cmj) and the upper-body wingate test. blood lactate (bl), heart ...

We discovered a 1,3-dipolar species co-existing in two different structures. Photolysis of matrix-isolated 5-phenyltetrazole generates two forms of phenylnitrile imine: propargylic and allenic. They are not resonance structures but correspond to different energy minima, representing bond-shift isomers. These distinct species were characterized spectroscopically and confirmed by calculations up ...

This note describes some additional information that complements the main BayesAct-S model described in [2] 1 Comparing Situational and Fundamental Self Sentiments In the paper we use the following function to measure inauthenticity: ia(s) = ln ( Pr(ss) Pr(sf ) ) (1) However, the original statement of the theory in [1] hypothesises that inauthenticity is a difference, from which we derived that...

Dimerization of HIV-1 protease (PR) subunits is an essential process for PR's acquisition of proteolytic activity, which plays a critical role in the maturation of HIV-1. Recombinant wild-type PR (PR(WT)) proved to dimerize, as examined with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry; however, two active site interface PR mutants (PR(T26A) and PR(R87K)) remained monomeric. On the other hand, two...

Natural HIV-1 protease (PR) is homodimeric. Some researchers believe that interactions between HIV-1 Gag-Pol molecules trigger the activation of embedded PR (which mediates Gag and Gag-Pol cleavage), and that Gag-Pol assembly domains outside of PR may contribute to PR activation by influencing PR dimer interaction in a Gag-Pol context. To determine if the enhancement of PR dimer interaction fac...

ω∈A Pr(ω). In particular, for atomic events we have Pr({ω}) = Pr(ω); and Pr(∅) = 0, Pr(Ω) = 1. The trivial events are those with probability 0 or 1, i. e. ∅ and Ω. The uniform distribution over the sample space Ω is defined by setting Pr(ω) = 1/|Ω| for every ω ∈ Ω. With this distribution, we shall speak of the uniform probability space over Ω. In a uniform space, calculation of probabilities am...

Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) is a valuable model system for understanding human T-lymphotropic virus 1 (HTLV-1); the availability of an infectious BLV clone, together with animal-model systems, will help to explore anti-HTLV-1 strategies. Nevertheless, the specificity and inhibitor sensitivity of the BLV protease (PR) have not been characterized in detail. To facilitate such studies, a molecular...

BACKGROUND HIV-1 protease (PR) is an essential viral enzyme. Its primary function is to proteolyze the viral Gag-Pol polyprotein for production of viral enzymes and structural proteins and for maturation of infectious viral particles. Increasing evidence suggests that PR cleaves host cellular proteins. However, the nature of PR-host cellular protein interactions is elusive. This study aimed to ...
