The leucine zipper is the dimerization domain of the B-ZIP (basic-region leucine zipper) class of eukaryotic transcription factors (Vinson et al., 1989). The name arose because leucines occur every seven amino acids in this dimerization domain.These leucines are critical for the dimerization and DNA binding of B-ZIP proteins. The leucine zipper is a left-handed parallel dimeric coiled-coil, a s...

The cyclic peptide core of the antifungal and antibiotic cyclic depsipeptide LI-F04a was synthesised by using a modified Yamaguchi macrolactonization approach. Alternative methods of macrolactonization (e.g., Corey-Nicolaou) resulted in significant epimerization of the C-terminal amino acid during the cyclization reaction. The D-stereochemistry of the alanine residue in the naturally occurring ...

At the previous OSDI, Silas Boyd-Wickizer presented Corey, a new many-core operating system motivated by the premise that traditional OS design, as represented by Linux, faced fundamental limitations to scalability. This talk, also given by Boyd-Wickizer, refutes that premise. It does so by selecting several real applications with good parallel implementations that demonstrate kernel-based scal...

A comparison of Standard Galerkin, Petrov–Galerkin, and Fully-Upwind Galerkin methods for the simulation of two-phase flow in heterogeneous porous media is presented. On the basis of the coupled pressure–saturation equations, a generalized formulation for all three finite element methods is derived and analysed. For flow in homogeneous media, the Petrov–Galerkin method gives excellent results. ...
