HIGH RESOLUTION FOURIER TRANSFORM EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY OF YH AND YD.
Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, University of Arizona; Department of Chemistry, University of WaterlooThe electronic emission spectrum of YH and YD has been investigated in the 690 nm to 3 spectral region using a Fourier transform spectrometer. The YH and YD bands were excited in an yttrium hollow cathode lamp operated with neon gas and a trace of of The observed bands have been classified into three different electronic transitions; and . The transition of YD could not be identified due to its very weak intensity. The rotational analysis of several bands of the transition (up to for YH and for YD) provides improved equilibrium vibrational and rotational constants for the ground state of YH and YD. The excited state is involved in several perturbations
A novel protein kinase inhibitor IMB-YH-8 with anti-tuberculosis activity
AbstractProtein kinase B (PknB) is one of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis serine/threonine protein kinases and has an essential role in sustaining mycobacterial growth. Here, we identified and characterized a novel small molecule compound named IMB-YH-8 that inhibited PknB and served as anti-mycobacteria lead compound. IMB-YH-8 inhibited PknB auto-phosphorylation and the phosphorylation of GarA by PknB in a dose-dependent manner. The compound did not inhibit human Akt1 or other serine/threonine kinases in M. tuberculosis except for the highly homologous PknA. IMB-YH-8 bound to PknB with a moderate affinity. Molecular docking revealed that IMB-YH-8 interacts with the catalytic domain of PknB. Observations of electron microscopy showed that IMB-YH-8 changed the morphology of H37Rv and disrupted the cell wall. The differential transcriptional response of M. tuberculosis to IMB-YH-8 revealed changes in SigH regulatory pathways modulated by PknB. Notably IMB-YH-8 not only potently inhibited drug-sensitive and multidrug-resistant clinical isolates but also exhibited a dose dependent inhibition of intracellular M. tuberculosis. Taken together, these in vitro data demonstrate that IMB-YH-8 is a novel inhibitor of PknB, which potently prevents growth of M. tuberculosis. It is as yet unclear whether inhibition of PknA contributes to the anti-tubercular action of IMB-YH-8.</jats:p
<i>De novo</i> assembly of the YH genome.
<p>(A), The YH scaffold N50 (green bar) and N90 (blue bar) sizes were dramatically improvement with the addition of long-range PE information (from 2 kb to 35 kb). The trends of improvement are shown as a dashed line. (B), Alignment between the assembled YH scaffolds (y-axis) and the reference human genome (NCBI build 37, x-xis) on chr8. Local repeat level in the reference chr8 (calculated in a 1-kb window) is showed in color along the chromosome at the top-up bar. The white blocks in the bar represent the gaps in the reference genome. (C), Alignment of the YH scaffold 320 onto the reference chr8. Local repeat level on the region of the reference chr8 is also shown in color along the sequence (calculated in a 1-kb window).</p
Measurement of the differential and double-differential Drell-Yan cross sections in proton-proton collisions at root s=7 TeV
Measurements of the differential and double-differential Drell-Yan cross sections are presented using an integrated luminosity of 4.5 (4.8) fb−1 in the dimuon (dielectron) channel of proton-proton collision data recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC at s√ = 7 TeV. The measured inclusive cross section in the Z-peak region (60–120 GeV) is σ(ℓℓ) = 986.4 ± 0.6 (stat.) ± 5.9 (exp. syst.) ± 21.7 (th. syst.) ± 21.7 (lum.) pb for the combination of the dimuon and dielectron channels. Differential cross sections dσ/dm for the dimuon, dielectron, and combined channels are measured in the mass range 15 to 1500 GeV and corrected to the full phase space. Results are also presented for the measurement of the double-differential cross section d2σ/dm d|y| in the dimuon channel over the mass range 20 to 1500 GeV and absolute dimuon rapidity from 0 to 2.4. These measurements are compared to the predictions of perturbative QCD calculations at next-to-leading and next-to-next-to-leading orders using various sets of parton distribution functions
