The concept of a deformable body point is taken in the form of a continuum point and an elementary volume connected with it. The continuum point determines the spatial position of the deformable body point, and the elementary volume is the carrier of its material properties and stress-strain state characteristics.

Decorin is a small leucine-rich chondroitin/dermatan sulfate proteoglycan reported to interact with ®brillar collagens through its protein core and to localize atdandebands of the collagen ®bril banding pattern. Using a solid-phase assay, we have determined the interaction of peptides derivedbyCNBr cleavage of type I and type II collagenwith decorin extracted from bovine tendon and its protein core and with a recombinant decorin preparation.

Weak neurotoxins from snake venom are small proteins with five disulfide bonds, which have been shown to be poor bindersof nicotinicacetylcholine receptors.We report on the cloning and sequencing of four cDNAs encoding weak neurotoxins fromNaja sputatrixvenomglands. The protein encoded by one of them, Wntx-5, has been synthesized by solid-phase synthesis and characterized.

A new human/rat CRH analogue has been synthesized using the Fmoc/tBu solid-phase synthetic protocol. The sequence ofthe new peptide differs from the original in two positions, 12 and 15, at which the native amino acids L-phenylalanine 12 and L-leucine 15 have been replaced by the nonprotein amino acids D-phenylalanine and a-aminoisobutyric acid (Aib), respectively. The high resolution three-dimensional solution structure of [D-Phe12, Aib15]CRH has been determined by 688 dis-tance constraints (656 meaningful NOE and 32 H-bonds distance limits) and 21 angle constraints. ...

The multisubstrate nucleoside kinase of Drosophila melanogaster(Dm-dNK) can be expressed in human solid tumor cells and its unique enzymatic properties makes this enzyme a suicide gene candidate. In the present study,Dm-dNK was stably expressed in the CCRF-CEM and H9 T-lymphoblastoid cell lines. The expressed enzyme was localized to the cell nucleus and the enzyme retained its activity.

Human cytochrome P450 3A4 forms a series of minor testosterone hydroxylation products in addition to 6b-hy-droxytestosterone, the major product. One of these, formed at the next highest rate after the 6b-and 2b-hydroxy prod-ucts, was identified as 1b-hydroxytestosterone. This product was characterized from a mixture of testosterone oxidation products using an HPLC-solid phase extraction-cryoprobe NMR/time-of-flight mass spectrometry system, with an estimated total of
6lgof this product.Mass spectrometry established the formula as C19H29O3(MH + 305.2080)....

The coat proteins of filamentous phage are first synthesized as transmem-brane proteins and then assembled onto the extruding viral particles. We investigated the transmembrane conformation of the Pseudomonas aerugi-nosa Pf3 phage coat protein using proton-decoupled 15 N and 31 P solid-state NMR spectroscopy.

The enzymatic kinetics of glycoside hydrolase family 7 cellobiohydrolase (Cel7A) towards highly crystalline celluloses at the solid–liquid interface was evaluated by applying the novel concept of surface density (q) of the enzyme, which is defined as the amount of adsorbed enzyme divided by the maximum amount of adsorbed enzyme.

Cellulose and wheat straw degradation byRuminococcus albuswas moni-tored using NMR spectroscopy. In situ solid-state 13 C-cross-polarization magic angle spinning NMR was used to monitor the modification of the composition and structure of cellulose and 13 C-enriched wheat straw during the growth of the bacterium on these substrates.

Solid tumours are complex structures in which the interdependent relation-ship between tumour and endothelial cells modulates tumour development and metastasis dissemination. The tumour microenvironment plays an important role in this cell interplay, and changes in its features have a major impact on tumour growth as well as on anticancer therapy respon-siveness.

Aberrant differentiation is a characteristic feature of neoplastic transforma-tion, while hypoxia in solid tumors is believed to be linked to aggressive behavior and poor prognosis. However, the possible relationship between hypoxia and differentiation in malignancies remains poorly defined.

ThedmdR1gene ofStreptomyces coelicolorencodes an important regulator of iron metabolism. An antiparallel gene (adm) homologous to a develop-ment-regulated gene ofStreptomyces aureofacienshas been found to over-lap with dmdR1. Both proteins DmdR1 and Adm are formed in solid and liquid cultures of S. coelicolorA3(2).

Proteins are occasionally converted from their normal soluble state to highly ordered fibrillar aggregates (amyloids), which give rise to pathologi-cal conditions that range from neurodegenerative disorders to systemic amyloidoses. Recent methodological advances in solid-state NMR and EPR spectroscopy have enabled determination of the 3D structure of sev-eral amyloids at residue-level resolution.

The A-minor interaction, formed between single-stranded adenosines and the minor groove of a receptor helix, is among the most common motifs found in rRNA. Among the A-minors found in 16S rRNA are a set of interactions between adenosines at positions 1433, 1434 and 1468 in helix 44 (h44) and their receptors in the nucleotide 320–340 region of helix 13 (h13).

The urachus is an embryological canal connecting the urinary bladder of the fetus with the allantois, a structure that contributes to the formation of the umbilical cord. The lumen (inside) of the urachus is normally obliterated during embryonic development, transforming the urachus into a solid cord, a functionless remnant. The urachus lies in the space of Retzius, between the transversalis fascia anteriorly and the peritoneum posteriorly.
