A special physical micromechanism/mode of twin deformation in nanowires and nanocrystalline (NC) solids is suggested and theoretically described. This mode represents a nanoscale multiplane shear (NMS) defined as an ideal shear occurring within a nanometer-sized volume. We calculated the energy and stress characterist…

In a recently characterized thiamin-salvage pathway, thiamin-degradation products are hydrolyzed by thiaminase II, yielding 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine (HMP). This compound is an intermediate in thiamin biosynthesis that, once phosphorylated by an HMP kinase, can be used to synthesize thiamin monophosph…
