  • Conformational Analysis of Molecular Chains Using Nano-Kinematics
    Conformational analysis of molecular chains using Nano-Kinematics y z Dinesh Mano cha Yunshan Zhu William Wright Computer Science Department UniversityofNorth Carolina Chap el Hill, NC 27599-317 5 fmano cha,zhu,[email protected] Fax: 919962-179 9 Abstract: We present algorithms for 3-D manipulation and conformational analysis of molecular chains, when b ond length, b ond angles and related dihedral angles remain xed. These algorithms are useful for lo cal deformations of linear molecules, exact ring closure in cyclic molecules and molecular emb edding for short chains. Other p ossible applications include structure prediction, protein folding, conformation energy analysis and 3D molecular matching and do cking. The algo- rithms are applicable to all serial molecular chains and make no asssumptions ab out their geometry. We make use of results on direct and inverse kinematics from rob otics and mechanics literature and show the corresp ondence b etween kinematics and conformational analysis of molecules. In particular, we p ose these problems algebraically and compute all the solutions making use of the structure of these equations and matrix computations. The algorithms have b een implemented and p erform well in practice. In particular, they take tens of milliseconds on currentworkstations for lo cal deformations and chain closures on molecular chains consisting of six or fewer rotatable dihedral angles.

  • A 1 Case-PR/ }*Rciofft.;Is Report
    .A 1 case-PR/ }*rciofft.;is Report (a) This eruption site on Mauna Loa Volcano was the main source of the voluminous lavas that flowed two- thirds of the distance to the town of Hilo (20 km). In the interior of the lava fountains, the white-orange color indicates maximum temperatures of about 1120°C; deeper orange in both the fountains and flows reflects decreasing temperatures (<1100°C) at edges and the surface. (b) High winds swept the exposed ridges, and the filter cannister was changed in the shelter of a p^hoehoc (lava) ridge to protect the sample from gas contamination. (c) Because of the high temperatures and acid gases, special clothing and equipment was necessary to protect the eyes. nose, lungs, and skin. Safety features included military flight suits of nonflammable fabric, fuil-face respirators that are equipped with dual acidic gas filters (purple attachments), hard hats, heavy, thick-soled boots, and protective gloves. We used portable radios to keep in touch with the Hawaii Volcano Observatory, where the area's seismic activity was monitored continuously. (d) Spatter activity in the Pu'u O Vent during the January 1984 eruption of Kilauea Volcano. Magma visible in the circular conduit oscillated in a piston-like fashion; spatter was ejected to heights of 1 to 10 m. During this activity, we sampled gases continuously for 5 hours at the west edge. Cover photo: This aerial view of Kilauea Volcano was taken in April 1984 during overflights to collect gas samples from the plume. The bluish portion of the gas plume contained a far higher density of fine-grained scoria (ash).

  • Fine Tuning the Hydrophilic–Hydrophobic Balance in Inositols Through Annulation: an Analysis of the Hydrogen-Bonded Architectures of ‘Annulated Inositols’
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Publications of the IAS Fellows PAPER www.rsc.org/crystengcomm | CrystEngComm Fine tuning the hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance in inositols through annulation: An analysis of the hydrogen-bonded architectures of ‘annulated inositols’ Goverdhan Mehta* and Saikat Sen Received 13th September 2005, Accepted 2nd November 2005 First published as an Advance Article on the web 15th November 2005 DOI: 10.1039/b512911g The crystal structures of conformationally locked, bicyclic cycloalkane-annulated variants of myo- and chiro-inositols have been analysed, in order to understand their mode of expression of the axial rich conformations and amphiphilicity in the solid state. Thus, while cyclohexa- annulated myo- and chiro-inositols exhibit a head-to-head bilayer molecular assembly, consisting of dimeric or octameric columnar architectures, cyclopenta-annulated chiro-inositol shows no such aggregation of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic faces, rather preferring to pack in a manner akin to a hydrophilic inositol. The differences in the two packing modes can be attributed to the size of the hydrocarbon ring, fine-tuning the hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance in the annulated inositols. An analysis of the non-polar molecular surface area (a measure of the intermolecular hydrophobic van der Waals interactions) for all the annulated inositols under study further vindicates the conclusion. Introduction alicyclic ring, could serve as a handle to fine tune the hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance in the otherwise polar Cyclohexane-1,2,3,4,5,6-hexol, in all its nine stereoisomeric inositols. This could in principle serve as a means of forms, constitutes a group of biologically important entities, modulating the cell membrane permeability and receptor 1 commonly known as inositols.

Despite its prevalence, the disease is difficult to diagnose early with the vast majority of individuals already having significant neuronal death prior to therapeutic intervention. PD is characterized by the lysosome’s unusual inability to dispose of α-synuclein in areas of the brain that primarily control motor function. Recently, studies have shown that in post-mortem brain samples from suspected PD patients, there is a deficiency in the activity of the lysosomal enzyme glucocerebrosidase (GCase). GCase is a retaining β-glucosidase that hydrolyzes glucosylceramide in the lysosomes of normal cells. Interestingly, deficiency in enzyme activity was found in both early or late stages of the disease suggesting that GCase could be a biomarker of early PD. To validate GCase as a potential biomarker this thesis focuses on the development of molecular probes for the detection of GCase activity in biological systems. Recently the Phenix lab has developed a class of N-alkylated conduritol aziridines that were shown to be potent and selective irreversible inhibitors of GCase in vitro.
