While it is well known that introduction of Pro residues into the interior of protein alpha-helices is destabilizing, there have been few studies that have examined the structural and thermodynamic effects of the replacement of a Pro residue in the interior of a protein alpha-helix. We have previously reported an incr…

Thermally induced semiconductor-metal phase transitions taking place in Al/VO 2 /insulator and VO 2 /insulator film systems upon recording optical data are investigated. Experiments show that the rate of the processes depends on thermophysical parameters of the films, as well as on the energy exposure. The dynamic ran…

We show that a polygonization of the crystal (formation of grain subboundaries) takes place during the growth in thin-sample directional solidification of a transparent nonfaceted alloy at solidification rates lower than the cellular-bifurcation threshold. We give experimental evidence that this phenomenon is due to a…

The scattering phenomenon from an arbitrary-shaped end of a asymmetrical slab waveguide for the cases of TE and TM guided modes is simulated by means of boundary integral equations that are called guided-mode extracted integral equations. The integral equations that we derive can be solved by the conventional boundary…

Mixed-layer minerals were analyzed by far infrared (FIR) spectrometry. The FIR spectra show two bands, which occur at 84-87 and 108-114 cm -1 for mixed-layer illite-smectite (I-S) and at 71-79 and 103 cm -1 for mixed-layer phlogopite/vermiculite (P-V). The 103 cm -1 band seen in the P-V series from Palabora is indepen…

The gene of chitinase in the silkworm, Bombyx mori, generates four mRNA products by alternative splicing. Nucleotide sequences of the entire gene for chitinase and respective cDNAs demonstrate that the pre-mRNA undergoes alternative splicing at both the 5' and 3' regions. At the 5' region, the pre-mRNA experienced dif…
