Ultraviolet bands of Na2 and K2

The ultraviolet spectra of Na₂ and K₂ molecules have been investigated. These studies were made in absorption in the second order of a 3.4 m Ebert Spectrograph with a reciprocal dispersion of 2.6 Å/mm. A number of new bands in the spectra of both the molecules not previously reported have been observed. Computer methods have been used to calculate the term values and to evaluate molecular constants.     

VX680 binding in Aurora A: π-π interactions involving the conserved aromatic amino acid of the flexible glycine-rich loop

The regulation of protein kinases requires flexibility, especially near the ATP binding site. The cancer drug target Aurora A is inhibited by the ATP site inhibitor VX680, and published crystal structures show two distinct conformations. In one, a refolded glycine-rich loop creates a stacked π-π interaction between the conserved aromatic residue of the glycine-rich loop hairpin turn (F144) and the inhibitor. This refolding, associated with binding to a peptide derived from the cofactor TPX2, is absent in the other structure. We use surface plasmon resonance to measure VX680 binding to native and mutant F144A Aurora A kinase domains, with and without the TPX2 peptide. Results show that the F144 aromatic side chain contributes 2 kcal/mol to the VX680 binding energy, independent of the TPX2 peptide. This indicates that distinct VX680 bound conformations of Aurora A cannot be simply correlated with TPX2 binding and that Aurora A retains flexibility when inhibitor-bound. Molecular dynamics simulations show that alternate geometries for the π-π interactions are feasible in the absence of the rigidifying packing interactions seen in the crystal lattice.     

Hybrid cross‐linked hydrogels as a technology platform for in vitro release of cephradine

Hydrogel‐based drug delivery systems can leverage therapeutically favorable upshots of drug release and found clinical uses. Hydrogels offer temporal and spatial control over the release of different therapeutic agents. Because of their tailor made controllable degradability, physical properties, and ability to prevent the labile drugs from degradation, hydrogels provide platform on which diverse physicochemical interactions with entrapped drugs cause to control drug release. Herein, we report the fabrication of novel vinyltrimethoxy silane (VTMS) cross‐linked chitosan/polyvinyl pyrrolidone hydrogels. Swelling in distilled water in conjunction with different buffer and electrolyte solutions was performed to assess the swellability of hydrogels. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis were further conducted to investigate the possible interactions between components, thermal stability, and crystallinity of as‐prepared hybrid hydrogels, respectively. In vitro time‐dependent biodegradability, antimicrobial study, and cytotoxicity were also carried out to evaluate their extensive biocompatibility and cytotoxic behavior. More interestingly, in vitro drug release study allowed for the controlled release of cephradine. Therefore, this facile strategy developed the novel biocompatible and biodegradable hybrid hydrogels, which could significantly expand the scope of these hydrogels in other biomedical applications like scaffolds, skin regeneration, tissue engineering, etc.     

Random walks on stochastic hyperbolic half planar triangulations

We study the simple random walk on stochastic hyperbolic half planar triangulations constructed in (Angel and Ray, Ann Probab, in press). We show that almost surely the walker escapes the boundary of the map in positive speed and that the return probability to the starting point after n steps scales like © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Mean-Field Conditions for Percolation on Finite Graphs

Let {G _n } be a sequence of finite transitive graphs with vertex degree d = d(n) and |G _n | = n. Denote by p ^t (v, v) the return probability after t steps of the non-backtracking random walk on G _n . We show that if p ^t (v, v) has quasi-random properties, then critical bond-percolation on G _n behaves as it would on a random graph. More precisely, if $\mathop {\rm {lim\, sup\,}} \limits_{n} n^{1/3} \sum\limits_{t = 1}^{n^{1/3}} {t{\bf p}^t(v,v) < \infty ,}$ then the size of the largest component in p-bond-percolation with ${p =\frac{1+O(n^{-1/3})}{d-1}}Let {G _n } be a sequence of finite transitive graphs with vertex degree d = d(n) and |G _n | = n.
