Biochemische und strukturelle Untersuchungen der Kohlenmonoxid-Dehydrogenasen CODH-II und CODH-IV aus Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans
Get PDFDie Kohlenmonoxid-Dehydrogenase (CODH) ist ein Schlüsselenzym des reduktiven Acetyl-CoA Wegs, und katalysiert in diesem die Reduktion von CO2 zu CO mit Raten von bis zu 12 s 1. Die Rückreaktion, die Oxidation von CO, katalysiert die CODH mit Raten von bis zu 31000 s-1. Beide Reaktionen finden am aktiven Zentrum des Enzyms, einem [NiFe4S4OHx]-Cluster (C Cluster), statt. Das Genom des hydrogenogenen Bakteriums C. hydrogenoformans beinhaltet fünf putative CODHs, welche vermutlich unterschiedliche Funktionen im Organismus ausüben. Diese Arbeit charakterisiert CODH-II und CODH-IV strukturell und biochemisch. In CODH-II wurden dafür Seitenketten der 1. und 2. Koordinationssphäre des C-Clusters ausgetauscht und einer strukturellen und kinetischen Analyse unterzogen.
Der zweite Teil der Arbeit analysiert den Einfluss von O2 auf CODH-II und CODH-IV. In Lösung zeigte CODH-II bei Inkubation mit O2 einen Verlust der CO-Oxidationsaktivität. Analog dazu konnte in CODH-II Kristallen die Zerstörung des C Clusters durch O2 verfolgt werden. Elektrochemisch wurde das Verhalten der CODH-II in der Gegenwart von O2 mit der CODH-IV, für welche eine Rolle in der oxidativen Stressantwort von C. hydrogenoformans diskutiert wird, verglichen. CODH-IV ist sauerstofftoleranter als CODH-II und katalysiert die Oxidation von CO hocheffizient nahe des CO-Diffussionslimits. Die Aufklärung der Struktur von CODH-IV erlaubte die Identifikation einer möglichen Ursache der höheren O2-Toleranz. Die Strukturen beider CODHs ähneln sich stark. Allerdings weist CODH IV an der Rückseite des C-Clusters eine dichtere Packung der Seitenketten auf, wodurch der Cluster von einem Angriff durch O2 abgeschirmt werden könnte.CO-Dehydrogenase (CODH) is a key enzyme of the reductive acetyl-CoA pathway, in which it catalyses the reduction of CO2 to CO with rates up to 12 s-1. CODH catalyses the reverse reaction, the oxidation of CO with rates up to 31000 s-1. Both reactions take place at the active site of the enzyme, a [NiFe4S4OHx] cluster (cluster C). The genome of the hydrogenogenic bacterium C. hydrogenoformans contains five putative CODHs which might serve distinctive functions within the organism. This study characterises CODH-II and CODH-IV structurally and biochemically. Residues of the first and second coordination sphere of cluster C from CODH-II were exchanged and analysed concerning their structural and biochemical properties.
The second part of this study analyses the influence of O2 on CODH-II and CODH-IV. CODH-II showed in solution a loss in CO-oxidation activity upon incubation with O2. In an analogous experiment, the destruction of cluster C by O2 was followed crystallographically. A role for CODH-IV in the oxidative stress response of C. hydrogenoformans has been discussed previously. Therefore, the behaviour of CODH-II and CODH-IV was analysed electrochemically in the presence of O2. CODH IV is more O2-tolerant than CODH-II and catalyses the oxidation of CO with high efficiency close to the diffusion limit of CO. Reasons for the enhanced O2-tolerance of CODH-IV could be deduced by elucidating its structure. Generally, both CODHs show high structural similarity. However, at the backside of cluster C CODH-IV shows a tighter packing of residues by which the cluster C might be shielded from O2
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
