Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…</p> <p>Finally, by mapping conformational changes found in molecular dynamics simulations onto changes observed in a previous HDX-MS data set on the <em>Drosophila</em> cryptochrome, a few gaps left by the incomplete coverage of the current experimental data were filled by acquiring information on the phosphate-binding loop and the protrusion motif, two regions which have also been found to undergo light-induced structural changes for the avian cryptochromes investigated. …”

Essays on blood supply management by Senga, Juan Ramon Liboro

“…The results show that more mature blood banks have more strategies available at their disposal when it comes to trying to maintain fill-rates. We also observe that the dynamic donation rate strategy results in lower fill-rates during disasters when the fill-rate is low despite being able to meet donation targets, and that multiple waves with short lead times exacerbate this effect. …”
