Microenvironment of tryptophan residues in proteins of four structural classes: applications for fluorescence and circular dichroism spectroscopy 15/06/2019
Abstract In this study we examined microenvironment of Trp residues in “dry” sets of nonhomologous proteins that belong to four structural classes, as well as in a “wet” set. In silico experiments showed that residues of Trp demonstrate higher surface accessibility in proteins of “alpha/beta” class where they are rarely included in beta strands. However, […]
U-turn trajectories of magnetotactic cocci allow the study of the correlation between their magnetic moment, volume and velocity 15/06/2019
Abstract Magnetotactic bacteria are microorganisms that present intracellular chains of magnetic nanoparticles, the magnetosome chain. A challenge in the study of magnetotactic bacteria is the measurement of the magnetic moment associated with the magnetosome chain. Several techniques have been used to estimate the average magnetic moment of a population of magnetotactic bacteria, and others permit […]
Biophysical modeling of wave propagation phenomena: experimental determination of pulse wave velocity in viscous fluid-filled elastic tubes in a gravitation field 14/06/2019
Abstract Biophysical understanding of arterial hemodynamics plays an important role in proper medical diagnosis and investigation of cardiovascular disease pathogens. One of the major cardiovascular parameters is pulse wave velocity (PWV), which depends on the mechanical properties of the arterial wall. The PWV contains information on the condition of the cardiovascular system as well as […]
