Crystal structure of the FK506 binding domain of plasmodium falciparum FKBP35 in complex with FK506 by Kotaka, Masayo, Ye, Hong, Alag, Reema, Hu, Guangan, Bozdech, Zbynek, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Yoon, Ho Sup, Lescar, Julien

“…Compared to the human FKBP12−FK506 complex reported earlier, the structure reveals structural differences in the β5−β6 segment that lines the FK506 binding site. The presence in PfFKBD of Cys-106 and Ser-109 (substituting for His-87 and Ile-90, respectively, in human FKBP12), which are 4−5 Å from the nearest atom of the FK506 compound, suggests possible routes for the rational design of analogues of FK506 with specific antiparasitic activity. …”

Modeling mass removal and sediment deposition in stormwater ponds using floating treatment islands: a computational approach by Xavier, Manoel L. M., Janzen, Johannes G., Nepf, Heidi

“…In cases where both processes occur simultaneously, the presence of FTIs lead to higher mass removal, primarily attributed to the FTIs themselves, particularly in the initial segment. Remarkably, certain FTI configurations enable mass removal exceeding 70% for large sediment particles, even with a pond length less than half of the original.…”

Phonetic Faithfulness in Phonological Opacity by Kim, Yeong-Joon

“…The results of typological surveys encompassing 87 counterfeeding and 65 counterbleeding interactions across languages support this prediction, revealing that opacified processes are subject to a narrow range of markedness conditions, such as coarticulatory assimilation (e.g., palatalization) and durational adjustments (e.g., segmental weakening). Other types of phonological processes, particularly non-natural ones, are only rarely, if ever, opacified. …”
