A single NMR-derived protein structure is usually deposited as an ensemble containing many structures, each consistent with the restraint set used. The number of NMR-derived structures deposited in the Protein Data Bank (PDB) is increasing rapidly. In addition, many of the structures deposited in an ensemble exhibit variation in only some regions of the structure, often with the majority of the...

We explore the phase behavior of a rigid achiral bent-core model system. Nematic and smectic phases form at higher densities, whereas micelles and columns composed of chiral clusters of these molecules self-assemble at lower densities. No nucleation mechanism requiring transient chirality is possible in the formation of these chiral superstructures due to the rigid achiral nature of the substit...

This paper aims to provide support for the view that individual concepts are basic to natural language semantics. First, the use of constant individual concepts allows us to maintain Kripke’s view of proper names as nondescriptional rigid designators in the face of problems created by so-called “empty names.” And second, the distinction between constant and variable individual concepts can func...

We give a partial positive answer to a conjecture of Tyurin ([28]). Indeed we prove that on a general quintic hypersurface of P every arithmetically Cohen–Macaulay rank 2 vector bundle is infinitesimally rigid.

Electroclinic measurements, in which an applied electric field E induces a rotation Δθ ([proportional]E) of the liquid crystal director about the electric field axis in a chiral environment, were performed on several configurationally achiral liquid crystals in the presence of an imposed helical director profile. This imposed twist establishes a chiral symmetry environment for the liquid crysta...

R-modes in neutron stars with crusts are damped by viscous friction at the crust-core boundary. The magnitude of this damping, evaluated by Bildsten and Ushomirsky (BU) under the assumption of a perfectly rigid crust, sets the maximum spin frequency for a neutron star spun up by accretion in a Low-Mass X-ray binary (LMXB). In this paper we explore the mechanical coupling between the core r-mode...

Figure 1: Protein 1CRN, Crambin, is a 46 amino acid protein composed of two alpha helices and a short anti-parallel beta sheet (1(a)). When rigidity analysis is performed on the non-mutated form of Crambin, the majority of the atoms in the proteins core are part of a single large rigid cluster (shown in purple))(1(b)). KINARI-Mutagen was used to generate several in-silico mutants of crambin. Wh...

We introduce an agility measure enabling the comparison of two very di↵erent leaping-from-rest transitions by two comparably powered but morphologically di↵erent legged robots. We use the measure to show that a flexible spine outperforms a rigid back in the leapingfrom-rest task. The agility measure also sheds light on the source of this benefit: core actuation through a su ciently powerful par...
