Interfering residues narrow the spectrum of MLV restriction by human TRIM5alpha

Didier Trono, Priscilla Turelli, Séverine Reynard, Pierre Maillard

TRIM5alpha is a restriction factor that limits infection of human cells by so-called N- but not B- or NB-tropic strains of murine leukemia virus (MLV). Here, we performed a mutation-based functional analysis of TRIM5alpha-mediated MLV restriction. Our resu ...

Vibrational spectra of vitreous SiO2 and vitreous GeO2 from first principles

Alfredo Pasquarello, Luigi Giacomazzi

Using a density-functional approach, we calculate the principal vibrational spectra of vitreous SiO2 and vitreous GeO2 and discuss their analogies and differences. For both glasses, we generate model structures consisting of a random network of corner-shar ...

Diameter-Dependent Elastic Modulus Supports the Metastable-Catalyst Growth of Carbon Nanotubes

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Andrzej Kulik, Jin Won Seo, Branimir Lukic, Kyumin Lee

We measured the elastic modulus of individual multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) grown by catalytic chemical vapor deposition (CVD) over a broad diameter range (10-25 nm). Alternating current (ac) dielectrophoresis was used for efficient tube deposition ...

Preparation and application of minerals-based sacrificial pastes for fabrication of LTCC structures

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Hansu Birol

This work presents the preliminary results on application of mineral sacrificial layer that is prepared to structure LTCC (low temperature co-fired ceramic). The proposed method suggests utilization of a sacrificial paste, which remains "permanent" during ...

Scanning probe microscope e.g. atomic force microscope, has two actuators arranged in opposed push-pull configuration, and support constrains motion of one of two actuators in one axis to permit translation along another axis

Georg Fantner

NOVELTY - The microscope has a housing (12), and two actuators (14, 16) are arranged in an opposed push-pull configuration that is coupled to the housing. A support (22) is coupled to the housing and to one of the two actuators at a position that is spaced ...

Modelling the regulative role of business processes with use and misuse cases

Gil Regev, Alain Wegmann

Business processes contain value-added and abuse prevention activities. Most modelling techniques do not provide a rationale for abuse prevention activities. Such a rationale is needed when redesigning business processes. In this paper we propose to consid ...

Rational design of organo-ruthenium anticancer compounds

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Christian Gossens

Organometallic ruthenium(II)-arene complexes are currently attracting increasing interest as anticancer compds. with the potential to overcome drawbacks of traditional drugs like cisplatin with respect to resistance, selectivity, and toxicity. Rational des ...

Towards a planar sample support for in situ experiments in structural biology

Nico de Rooij, Terunobu Akiyama

We report about the development of a planar support for biological samples. The aim is to combine AFM and patch-clamp measurements, in order to perform simultaneous measurements of topography and electrical properties of biological membranes. Sub-micromete ...
