Autoinhibition releasing provides a platform for developing p21-activated kinase-1 (PAK1) activators for hypertrophic heart diseases by He, Y

“…In addition, mutagenesis and structural studies unveiled an allosteric site, termed the 'DEK' (encompassing the key structural elements DFG motif, Glu315 on the αC helix, and kinase inhibitory segment), crucial in modulating kinase activity.</p> <p>To gain a deeper understanding of the action mechanism underlying PAK1 small molecule activators, fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), superresolution single molecular imaging, and mass photometry were applied to illustrate the conformational changes and alterations in PAK1 dimerization upon the binding of small molecule activators. …”

Structural and mechanistic insights into the Rel protein of Mycobacterium tuberculosis by Singal, Bharti

“…The MtRel NTD in the presence of TGS domain showed almost similar synthetic activity as of MtRel NTD and approximately 3 fold higher than that of MtRel showing auto-inhibition by rest of the C-terminus MtRel segment. The MtRel ACT structure was determined as a dimer and the oligomeric state was further confirmed using SAXS. …”

Low-power high-performance SAR ADC with redundancy and digital error-correction by Sharma, Sunny

“…The demands for data converters have soared in the last decade with the boom in consumer electronics, smart devices, autonomous vehicles, and automotive segments. The current trend among Nyquist-rate data converters, for example successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADC), tends towards high speeds and medium-to-high resolution. …”

Visualization of engine design, simulation and optimization by Wang, Yan Chao

“…Starting from a new distance function and neighborhood relationship between sites, we divide the space by axis-aligned segments. Then a sweepline+skyline based heuristic algorithm is proposed to allocate the partitioned spaces to form an orthogonal Voronoi diagram with orthogonal rectangles. …”
