Dynamics and folding of single two-stranded coiled-coil peptides studied by fluorescent energy transfer confocal microscopy
No full textWe report single-molecule measurements on the folding and unfolding conformational equilibrium distributions and dynamics of a disulfide crosslinked version of the two-stranded coiled coil from GCN4. The peptide has a fluorescent donor and acceptor at the N termini of its two chains and a Cys disulfide near its C terminus. Thus, folding brings the two N termini of the two chains close together, resulting in an enhancement of fluorescent resonant energy transfer. End-to-end distance distributions have thus been characterized under conditions where the peptide is nearly fully folded (0 M urea), unfolded (7.4 M urea), and in dynamic exchange between folded and unfolded states (3.0 M urea). The distributions have been compared for the peptide freely diffusing in solution and deposited onto aminopropyl silanized glass. As the urea concentration is increased, the mean end-to-end distance shifts to longer distances both in free solution and on the modified surface. The widths of these distributions indicate that the molecules are undergoing millisecond conformational fluctuations. Under all three conditions, these fluctuations gave nonexponential correlations on 1- to 100-ms time scale. A component of the correlation decay that was sensitive to the concentration of urea corresponded to that measured by bulk relaxation kinetics. Thetrajectories provided effective intramolecular diffusion coefficients as a function of the end-to-end distances for the folded and unfolded states. Single-molecule folding studies provide information concerning the distributions of conformational states in the folded, unfolded, and dynamically interconverting states.Author manuscript.

Viscosupplementation for knee osteoarthritis: a focus on Hylan G-F 20
No full textDavid Webb,1 Poobalan Naidoo2,3 1Pattacus Medical, Randburg, South Africa; 2Medical Affairs, Sanofi House, Midrand, South Africa; 3Department of Health Informatics, School of Health Professions, Rutgers, State University of New Jersey, NJ, USA Abstract: Knee osteoarthritis is a chronic degenerative joint disease characterized by destruction of articular cartilage with resultant para-articular bone changes. It is a major cause of disability in older persons and is managed by surgical and nonsurgical interventions. Pharmacotherapy includes acetaminophen, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents, and intra-articular steroids. Another treatment option is viscosupplementation with intra-articular injection of hyaluronan (HA). The full mechanism of action of exogenous HA is uncertain, but studies indicate that it may promote endogenous HA production, reduce inflammation, prevent degeneration of cartilage and promote cartilage regeneration. Clinically, HA may improve symptoms of osteoarthritis and delay time to total knee replacement surgery. However, clinical studies are heterogenous and of varying quality, and thus there is a need for more robust studies to determine the place of viscosupplementation in the management of knee osteoarthritis. Keywords: knee osteoarthritis, viscosupplements, hylan, Hylan G-F 2

Cult: A Composite Novel
No full textCult (redacted)
The first component of the thesis is a composite novel called Cult which falls into two parts with seven narratives in each. Part 1 tracks the protagonist, Ellen, from her first involvement with the cult through to her eventually leaving it. Although fiction, the first half of the book answers the kinds of questions the author is asked when people discover that she was once a sannyasin (a follower of the guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh). While the experiences of meditation, group therapy and communal living are all faithfully rendered within the stories, the need for strong characters, narrative drive and a lightness of touch takes precedence.
Part 2 picks up Ellen’s story some twenty or so years later and explores what becomes of her in middle age. It also looks at other groups in society, such as academia, the law and the internet dating community which each have their own jargon, hierarchies, rituals and rules but are not considered to be cults.
The book examines the question raised in the Epigraph, ‘how do we be together when we feel so alone’ with a focus on relationships other than the familial and the romantic.
Collisions, Chasms and Connections: a Performative Exploration of the Composite Novel Form
The second part of the thesis is both a critical and creative response to three contemporary American books: Olive Kitteridge by Elizabeth Strout; A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan; and Legend of a Suicide by David Vann. The critical element comprises a close reading of the three books; a chronological reconstruction of their overarching storylines; and a consideration of what their authors have said about writing the books. It concludes that, in the composite novel, the simultaneous presentation of multiple views and storylines operate much like a 3D image to give the impression of depth to the characters and situations rendered. The creative element of the essay is a playful and personal response to the texts
Evolutionary Relationships Of Popenaias popeii and the Early Evolution Of Lampsiline Bivalves (Unionidae): Phylogenetic Analyses Of Dna and Amino Acid Sequences From F and M Mitochondrial Genomes
No full textLampsiline bivalves typically are considered a tribe within the Unionidae (Ambleminae: Lampsilini), and they display extraordinary morphological adaptations for reproduction. Recent studies have weakly corroborated the monophyly of the Lampsilini, but evolutionary relationships within the tribe and its sister lineage have yet to be elucidated convincingly. However, these determinations are necessary to better understand the evolution of the spectacular morphological diversity present in lampsilines, as well as the specific circumstances surrounding the group\u27s origin. To clarify these matters, phylogenetic analyses were carried out on 2,310 nucleotide and 770 amino acid position matrices containing sequences from five protein coding gene regions on the F and M mitochondrial genomes from 21 amblemine species. Nodal support values on the best Bayesian inference tree robustly confirm the monophyly of lampsilines and a clade containing the following well-supported relationships: (((lampsilines, Popenaias) Plectomerus) Amblema). Furthermore, a maximum likelihood estimate of ancestral character states indicates that the ectobranchy observed in lampsilines Popenaias is homologous and was derived from a tetragenous ancestral lineage. The sister taxon status of P. popeii to the traditional lampsiline taxa and the occasional use of the inner demibranchs for brooding suggest that this species could still retain character states of the lampsiline ancestral lineage. Therefore, additional studies of morphology, reproduction, phylogeography and ecology for Popenaias, Amblema, Plectomerus, and other taxa within the Amblemini could clarify the circumstances surrounding the origin of the lampsiline bivalves
The future of scholarly communications
No full textThe academic publishing industry is set to celebrate 350 years of peer-reviewed scientific journals. However, there are significant shifts in the practice of scholarship, as scholars and citizens alike participate in an increasingly digital world. Is the scholarly article still fit for its purpose in this data-driven world, with new interdisciplinary methodologies and increasing automation? How might it be enhanced or replaced with new kinds of digital research objects , so as not to restrict innovation but rather create a flourishing sense-making network of humans and machines? The emerging paradigm of social machines provides a lens onto future developments in scholarship and scholarly collaboration, as we live and study in a hybrid physical-digital sociotechnical system of enormous and growing scale.Copyright 2014 David De Roure.
