Investigation on the non-uniform temperature distribution of large-diameter concrete silos under solar radiation by Zhao, Liang, Yang, Zhiyong, Wang, Lijie

“…In this paper, the temperature distribution of a concrete silo exposed to the sunshine was measured on site. A finite element (FE) model was built to analyze the temperature distribution under the sunshine, and the FE model was validated by comparing the yielded temperature field with that obtained on site. …”

New multi-target based therapeutics against an opportunistic superbug by Premkumar, Jayaraman.

“…The stereo-electronic properties such as HOMO, LUMO and MEP maps of the hybrid compounds calculated using quantum chemical methods, correlate well with identified common pharmacophoric features required for the multi-site interactions. Docking and dynamics simulation studies reveal that the designed hybrid compounds have favourable binding affinity and stability in their respective binding-site cavities by forming strong hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with key active site residues. …”

Structural study of ribosome : 1) structural basis of EF-G in translocation. 2) molecular mechanism of ribosome-dependent toxin YoeB in mRNA cleavage by Chen, Yun

“…Binding with the ribosome and the GTP analogue facilitate the stabilization of EF-G switch I region, resulting in an ordered model of the active site. The positioning of the catalytic His87 into the active site is coupled to the hydrophobic-gate opening and involves the ribosomal 23S rRNA sarcin-ricin loop as well as domain III of EF-G. …”

Force transduction through the bacterial cell envelope by Williams-Jones, D

“…I examine how assembly of the <em>trans</em>-periplasmic motor-transducer complex recruits a membrane stabilising lipoprotein, Pal, to the division site. To contextualise the experimental aspects of this thesis, I first examine the physiological role of the Tol-Pal system, and its cellular function in <em>E. coli</em>. …”
