THUMB-LOOPS UP FOR CATALYSIS: A STRUCTURE/FUNCTION INVESTIGATION OF A FUNCTIONAL LOOP MOVEMENT IN A GH11 XYLANASE

Dynamics is a key feature of enzyme catalysis.Unfortunately, current experimental and computational techniques do not yet provide a comprehensive understanding and description of functional macromolecular motions.In this work, we have extended a novel COMPASS computational technique, which combines molecular modeling methods and robotics algorithms

Buddhism, Copying, and the Art of the Imagination in Thailand

This article theorizes new urban religio-scapes in metropolitan Bangkok, a city space of contradictory modernities.Here, I look at two contrasting Buddhist COMPASS monastic spaces of sanctity from periods of fieldwork between 1998 and 2002.Firstly, as found in the modern semblance of order and discipline at the radically neo-conservative Dhammakaya

The Mass Loss Behavior of Fractured Rock in Seepage Process: The Development and Application of a New Seepage Experimental System

In order to study the water-inrush mechanism in fractured geological structure, seepage instability theory is picked up, which considers that water-inrush is the embodiment of seepage instability.Seepage tests are the basis for studying seepage instability in the fractured rock system, while the experimental system and equipment are Misc robotics m
