A peptide -, which is a fragment from residue 21 to residue 31 of -microgloblin, is experimentally known to self-assemble and form amyloid fibrils. In order to understand the mechanism of amyloid fibril formations, we applied the replica-exchange molecular dynamics method to the system consisting of three fragments of -. From the analyses on the temperature dependence, we found that there is a clear phase transition temperature in which the peptides aggregate with each other. Moreover, we found by the free energy analyses that there are two major stable states: One of them is like amyloid fibrils and the other is amorphous aggregates. 相似文献

Fungal growth often appears in a surrounding where water and nutrients are scarce. The impact of this environment during sporogenesis on subsequent growth is often neglected.This study investigates the effect of water availability during sporogenesis on subsequent early growth. Therefore, a carbon-depleted substrate was constructed. Humidity is then the only parameter of interest. The water conditions during sporogenesis, and during subsequent growth, were varied. This is a stressing environment: no carbon source is present, and water provided solely via the vapour.The lag time, , and initial growth rate, , of the germ tubes were monitored.The effect of history on germination and initial growth depends on the of the environment. Only at low do spores produced at low have a smaller and higher compared to those grown at high . This result was remarkably pronounced when the substrate was also made hydrophobic: growth only occurred when spores were developed at low and placed in high .Spores grown on lowered attract more water. It is hypothesized that this attraction affects subsequent growth behaviour, and is the reason why growth on hydrophobic glass only prevails in the condition of high and lowered history.We demonstrate the influence of cultivation conditions on germination, which becomes more pronounced in a more desiccated environment. 相似文献

The degradation process of acephate in aqueous solution with OH and produced by 60Co-γ irradiation and electron pulse radiolysis was studied in the present paper. In the aqueous solution, acephate reacted with and transformed to transient species which can absorb weakly in the wavelength range of 300–400?nm and decay very fast. According to the decay of hydrated electron, the reaction rate constant of and acephate is (3.51?±?0.076)?×?109?dm3·mol?1·s?1. The transient species produced in the reaction of OH and acephate do not distinctly absorb the light in the wavelength range of 300–700?nm, so the decay and kinetics of the transient species cannot determinedirectly. The competing reaction of KSCN oracephate with OH were studied to obtain the reaction rate constant of OH and acephate, which is (9.1?±?0.11)?×?108?dm3·mol?1·s?1. Although acetylamide and inorganic ions were determined in the products of the reaction of acephate with OH or , the concentration of inorganic ions in the products of the reaction of acephate with OH is higher than that in the product of the reaction of acephate with . Moreover, there were sulfide in the products of the reaction of acephatewith . The degradation pathways of acephate by OH and were also proposed based on the products from GC-MS. 相似文献

A computer study of the prediction of the protein crystal’s shape and polymorphism of crystal’s structures within the limits resulting from the exploration of the Miyazawa–Jernigan matrix is presented. In this study, a coarse-graining procedure was applied to prepare a two-dimensional growth unit, where instead of full atom representation of the protein a two-type (hydrophobic–hydrophilic, HP) aminoacidal representation was used. The interaction energies between hydrophobic () aminoacids were chosen from the well-known HP-type models (), whereas interaction energies between hydrophobic and hydrophilic aminoacids () as well as interaction energies between hydrophilic aminoacids () were chosen from the range: , but not all values from this range fulfiled limitations resulting from the exploration of the Miyazawa–Jernigan matrix. Exploring every positively vetted combinations of energy interactions a polymorphism of the unit cell was observed what led to the fact that different final crystal’s shapes were obtained. 相似文献

Background and objective
One of the important applications of non-invasive respiration monitoring using ECG signal is the detection of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). ECG-derived respiratory (EDR) signals, contribute to useful information about apnea occurrence. In this paper, two EDR extraction methods are proposed, and their application in automatic OSA detection using single-lead ECG is investigated.Methods
EDR signals are extracted based on new respiration-related features in ECG beats morphology, such as ECG variance () and phase space reconstruction area (). After evaluating the EDRs by comparing them to a reference respiratory signal, they are used in an automatic OSA detection application. Fantasia and Apnea-ECG database from PhysioNet are used for EDRs assessments and OSA detection, respectively. The final performance of our OSA detection is tested on an independent test data which is also compared with results of other techniques in the literature.Results
The extracted EDRs, and show correlations of 72% and 70% with reference respiration, which outperform the other state-of-the-art EDR methods. After feature extraction from EDRs and RR intervals series, the combination of RR and feature sets achieved 100% accuracy in subject-based apnea detection on independent test data, and also minute-based apnea detection is done with accuracy, sensitivity and specificity of 90.9%, 89.6% and 91.8%, which is better than other automatic algorithms in the literature.Conclusions
Our OSA detection system using EDRs features yields better independent test results compared with other state-of-the-art automatic apnea detection methods. The results indicate that ECG-based OSA detection system can classify OSA events with high accuracy and suggest a promising, non-invasive and efficient method for apnea detection. 相似文献10.
