Abstract:

Complex organization is found in many biological systems. For example, biopolymers could possess very hierarchic structure, which provides their functional peculiarity. Understating such, complex organization allows describing biological phenomena and predicting molecule functions. Besides, we can try to characterize the specific phenomenon by some probabilistic quantities (variances, means, etc), assuming the primary biopolymer structure to be randomly formed according to some statistical distribution. Such a formulation is oriented toward evolutionary problems.Artificially constructed biolog

Abstract:

Prostate cancer presents a significant paradox: it is very common, yet rarely fatal. To wit, the prostate is the most common non-skin tissue for cancer diagnosis in men in the United States. Despite its high incidence, fatal malignancy occurs in only a small fraction of diagnosed men. The fatal cases are characteristically defined by distant spread in the body, also known as metastasis. In order to metastasize a cancer cell must complete several sequential steps. These include degradation of and invasion through the epithelial basement membrane, typically through the loss of static intracellul

Abstract:

Phospholipid bilayers constitute the primary structural element of biological membranes, and as such, they play a central role in biochemical and biophysical processes at the cellular level, including cell protection, intercellular interactions, trans-membrane transport, cell morphology, and protein function, to name a few. The properties of phospholipid bilayers are thus of great interest from both experimental and theoretical standpoints. Although experiments have provided much of the macroscopic functions and properties of biological membranes, insight into specific mechanisms at the mole

Abstract:

Current biophysical studies of membrane proteins are centered on the relation of their structures to key biological functions of membranes in terms of lipid-protein interactions. The conformational transition of rhodopsin from Metarhodopsin I to Metarhodopsin II (Meta I-Meta II) is the triggering event for the visual process. Meta II is the activated form of the visual receptor and binds a signal transducing G protein (transducin), followed by two amplification stages which lead to generation of a visual nerve impulse.

Monitoring and identifying the state of rangelands on a landscape scale can be a time consuming process. In this thesis, remote sensing imagery has been used to show how the process of classifying different ecological sites and states can be done on a per pixel basis for a large landscape. Twenty-seven years' worth of remotely sensed imagery was collected, atmospherically corrected, and radiometrically normalized. Several vegetation indices were extracted from the imagery along with derivatives from a digital elevation model. Dominant vegetation components from five major ecological sites in R

This thesis explores the disorder-to-order structural transition of the small hydrophilic endoplasmic reticulum associated protein (SHERP). SHERP has been shown to be essential to the life cycle of Leishmania major, a parasite responsible for leishmaniasis which kills tens of thousands every year. The protein is almost entirely disordered in solution, but undergoes a dramatic increase in helicity upon binding to anionic lipids or detergents. Although the ordered structure of SHERP had previously been solved by solution nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy in the presence of sodium dodecyl s

Questioning GDP as dominant indicator for economic performance has become commonplace. For economists economic policy always aims for a broader array of goals (like income, employment, price stability, trade balance) alongside income, with income being the priority objective. The Stiglitz-Sen-Fitoussi Commission argued for extending and adapting key variables of macroeconomic analysis. International organisations such as the EC, OECD, Eurostat and UN have proposed extended arrays of macroeconomic indicators (see 'Beyond GDP', 'Compendium of wellbeing indicators', 'GDP and Beyond', 'Green Econ

Macromolecular transitions such as conformational changes and protein-protein association underlie many biological processes. Conformational changes in the N-terminal domain of the transmembrane protein DsbD (nDsbD) were studied by NMR and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. nDsbD supplies reductant to biosynthetic pathways in the oxidising periplasm of Gram-negative bacteria after receiving reductant from the C-terminal domain of DsbD (cDsbD). Reductant transfer in the DsbD pathway happens via protein-protein association and subsequent thiol-disulphide exchange reactions. The cap loop shield

Active fluids are an interesting new class of non-equilibrium systems in physics. In such fluids, the system is forced out of equilibrium by the individual active particles - in contrast to driven systems where the system is forced out of equilibrium by some external forces. Some biological examples of active fluids are bacterial suspensions and actomyosin solutions inside eukaryotic cells. In the case of bacterial suspensions, the fluid is stirred internally by the swimming bacteria and as a consequence of this, active fluids can have some interesting physics of their own such as hydrodynamic

In multicellular organism, bioenergetic metabolism is strictly regulated toward efficient generation of ATP. However, in certain situations, such as in limiting oxygen or in the rapidly proliferating system like growing juvenile or cancer cells, organisms apply the metabolic strategy that favors the production of biomass (e.g., nucleotides, amino acids, and lipids) over efficiency of ATP generation. The conserved estrogen-related receptors (ERRs) are master regulators in controlling metabolic homeostasis, and good candidates for mediating the metabolic transition induced by hypoxia and develop

Abstract:

The transition between the closed and open conformations of the Sec61 complex permits nascent protein insertion into the translocation channel. A critical event in this structural transition is the opening of the lateral translocon gate that is formed by four transmembrane (TM) spans (TM2, TM3, TM7 and TM8 in Sec61p) to expose the signal sequence-binding (SSB) site. To gain mechanistic insight into lateral gate opening, mutations were introduced into a lumenal loop (L7) that connects TM7 and TM8.

There are two competing models for ligand entry and exit in globins. In the histidine gate model, a channel from the heme iron to the solvent opens by the outward rotation of the His(E7) side chain (7 th residue of the E-helix). In the multiple paths model, ligands diffuse through the protein matrix and exit at multiple points at its surface. Previous workers solved crystal structures to identify channels in myoglobin (Mb) with n-alkyl isocyanides (CNRs), a long flexible ligand that acts as a molecular "Ariadne's thread." When bound to Mb, a CNR points either toward solvent through an opened

The lactose repressor protein (LacI), a prototypic negative transcriptional regulator in E. coli, relies on an allosteric conformational change for its function. Targeted molecular dynamics (TMD) simulation of this LacI transition predicts that residues located in/near the inducer binding pocket, especially D149 and S193, play a critical role in the early stage of this allosteric process. Single mutants at D149 and S193, characterized by a series of biochemical and biophysical experiments, present limited information about LacI allostery. In contrast, double mutants are much more informative:
