Constant domain-regulated antibody catalysis by Sapparapu, Gopal, Planque, Stephanie, Mitsuda, Yukie, McLean, Gary R., Nishiyama, Yasuhiro, Paul, Sudhir

“…The catalytic activity of polyclonal IgM was superior to polyclonal IgG from the same sera, indicating that on average IgMs express the catalytic function at levels greater than IgGs. The findings indicate a favorable effect of the remote IgM constant domain scaffold on the integrity of the V-domain catalytic site and provide a structural basis for conceiving antibody catalysis as a first line immune function expressed at high levels prior to development of mature IgG class antibodies.…”

Mobilising big data analytics capabilities to improve performance of tourism supply chains: the moderating role of dynamic capabilities by Gupta, Yuvika, Farheen Mujeeb, Khan, Kumar, Anil, Luthra, Sunil, Queiroz, Maciel

“…Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to confirm the constructs, followed by partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to check the mediating effect of dynamic capabilities (DC) on TSCs performance. Findings: The findings show that BDAC significantly influences the performance of TSCs and that DC plays a critical role in strengthening the impact of BDAC on TSCs’ economic performance. …”

An assessment of the impact of South Asian ethnicity on body composition, dimensions and proportions in children and adolescents, and their potential for risk of metabolic syndrome by Shah, Mahjabeen

Generally, SAs have a higher % fat mass (FM) and less skeletal muscle mass (SMM), together with a more abdominal distribution of body fat, compared with white Europeans (WE) at equivalent body mass index (BMI) values. …”
