The swine major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules are also called swine leukocyte antigen (SLA), and most of the highly polymorphic SLA genes are associated with swine diseases. However, the well documented structural reports on swine MHC I molecules remain quite limited. In order to clarify the structural characteristics of the Chinese heishan wild boar MHC class I molecule, SLA-3*0202 and swine β2-microglobulin (sβ2m) with a KMNTQFTAV nonapeptide derived from Influenza A virus Hemagglutinin protein (IAV-HA) were assembled and crystallized. The crystal diffracted at 1.55 Å resolution and belonged to the sp. gr. C121, with the unit-cell parameters a = 206.46 Å, b = 41.47 Å, c = 106.74 Å. The Matthews coefficient and solvent content were calculated to be 2.30 Å3 Da–1 and 46.64%, respectively. The availability of the structure, which is being solved by molecular replacement, will provide new insights into swine MHC I presenting IAV peptides.
The friction at the liquid-solid interfaces is widely involved in various phenomena ranging from nanometer to micrometer scales. By the molecular dynamic(MD)simulation, the friction properties of liquid-solid interfaces at the molecular level are calculated via the Green-Kubo relation. It is found that the system size will influence the value of the friction coefficient, especially for the solid surfaces with the larger polar charge. The value of the friction coefficient decreases with the increase in the system size and converges at large system sizes. The large polar charge will lead to a significant friction coefficient. However, the diffusion of water molecules on this surface is almost a constant, indicating that the diffusion coefficient seems to be independent of the system size and polar charge. This work provides insights for the selection of the system size in modeling the frictional properties of hydrophobic/hydrophilic surfaces. 相似文献
The orientably-regular embeddings of complete multipartite graphs have been determined by the contributions of several papers. After that, a natural question can be asked: How about the regular embeddings of the multipartite graphs with m parts, while each part contains n vertices(not necessarily complete multipartite). In this paper, we classify all the orientably-regular embeddings of these graphs when m is a prime q and n is a prime power pe. 相似文献
A rhodium(III)‐catalyzed cross‐coupling of benzyl thioethers and aryl carboxylic acids through the two directing groups is reported. Useful structures with diverse substituents were efficiently synthesized in one step with the cleavage of four bonds (C H, C S, O H) and the formation of two bonds (C C, C O). The formed structure is the privileged core in natural products and bioactive molecules. This work highlights the power of using two different directing groups to enhance the selectivity of a double C H activation, the first of such examples in cross‐oxidative coupling. 相似文献
