The chemistry community now recognizes the cation-π interaction as a major force for molecular recognition, joining the hydrophobic effect, the hydrogen bond, and the ion pair in determining macromolecular structure and drug-receptor interactions. This Account provides the author's perspective on the intellectual origins and fundamental nature of the cation-π interaction. Early studies on cyclo...

The bacterial RNA polymerase (RNAP) holoenzyme consists of a catalytic core enzyme (α(2)ββ'ω) in complex with a σ factor that is essential for promoter recognition and transcription initiation. During early elongation, the stability of interactions between σ and the remainder of the transcription complex decreases. Nevertheless, there is no mechanistic requirement for release of σ upon the tran...

We present the first ab initio calculations for p-shell single-Λ hypernuclei. For the solution of the many-baryon problem, we develop two variants of the no-core shell model with explicit Λ and Σ(+),Σ(0),Σ(-) hyperons including Λ-Σ conversion, optionally supplemented by a similarity renormalization group transformation to accelerate model-space convergence. In addition to state-of-the-art chira...

the aim of this paper is to introduce and study a new concept of strong double δ ( a ) σ -convergence sequences with respect to an orlicz function, and some properties of the resulting sequencespaces were also examined. in addition, we define the δ ( a ) σ -statistical convergence and establish someconnections between the spaces of strong double δ ( a ) σ -convergence sequences and the space of...

lorentz characterized the almost convergence through the concept of uniform convergence of de lavallée-poussin mean. in this paper, we generalize the notion of almost convergence by using the concept ofinvariant mean and the generalized de la vallée-poussin mean. we determine the bounded linear operators forthe generalized σ-conservative, σ-regular and σ-coercive matrices.
