Carbohydrate-protein interactions have been investigated for a model system of a monoclonal antibody, SYA/J6, which binds a trisaccharide epitope of the O-polysaccharide of the Shigella flexneri variant Y lipopolysaccharide. The thermodynamics of binding for the methyl glycoside of the native trisaccharide epitope, Rha-Rha-GlcNAc () to SYA/J6 over a range of temperatures exhibits strong, linear enthalpy-entropy compensation and a negative heat capacity change (DeltaC(p)=-152 cal mol(-1) degree(-1)). At 293 K the free energy of association is the sum of favourable enthalpy and entropy contributions (DeltaH=-3.9 kcal mol(-1) and -TDeltaS=-2.9 kcal mol(-1)). Crystal structures for SYA/J6 Fab detailed the position of the native trisaccharide epitope, Rha-Rha-GlcNAc, and facilitated a strategy to design a tighter binding, low molecular weight ligand. This involved pre-organization of the native trisaccharide in its bound conformation by addition of intramolecular constraints (a beta-alanyl or glycinyl tether). ELISA measurements indicated that the glycinyl tethered trisaccharide was not an optimal candidate for further analysis, while microcalorimetry provided data showing that the beta-alanyl tethered trisaccharide displayed a 15-fold increase in affinity for SYA/J6. Tethering resulted in a favourable entropic contribution to binding, relative to the native trisaccharide (-TDeltaDeltaS=-1.2 kcal mol(-1)). Potential energy and dynamics calculations using the AMBER Plus force fields indicated that trisaccharide adopted a rigid conformation similar to that of the bound conformation of the native trisaccharide epitope. While this strategy resulted in modest free energy gains by minimizing losses due to conformational entropy, thermodynamic data are consistent with significant contributions from solvent reorganization. 相似文献

Calorie restriction extends lifespan and produces a metabolic profile desirable for treating diseases of ageing such as type 2 diabetes. SIRT1, an NAD+-dependent deacetylase, is a principal modulator of pathways downstream of calorie restriction that produce beneficial effects on glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity. Resveratrol, a polyphenolic SIRT1 activator, mimics the anti-ageing effects of calorie restriction in lower organisms and in mice fed a high-fat diet ameliorates insulin resistance, increases mitochondrial content, and prolongs survival. Here we describe the identification and characterization of small molecule activators of SIRT1 that are structurally unrelated to, and 1,000-fold more potent than, resveratrol. These compounds bind to the SIRT1 enzyme-peptide substrate complex at an allosteric site amino-terminal to the catalytic domain and lower the Michaelis constant for acetylated substrates. In diet-induced obese and genetically obese mice, these compounds improve insulin sensitivity, lower plasma glucose, and increase mitochondrial capacity. In Zucker fa/fa rats, hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp studies demonstrate that SIRT1 activators improve whole-body glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity in adipose tissue, skeletal muscle and liver. Thus, SIRT1 activation is a promising new therapeutic approach for treating diseases of ageing such as type 2 diabetes. 相似文献

The reaction10B(3He, α)9B(p)8Be(g.s.) has been studied using a 1.8 MeV3He+ beam. Coincidence spectra were measured at θα=?150? and θα=22.5?, 30?, 37.5?, 45?, 52.5?, 60? and 67.5? for the indentification of the levels in9B which decay by proton emission. Possible new excited levels in9B were observed at (1.9±0.1), (2.1±0.1), (2.6±0.1) and (3.1±0.1) MeV. 相似文献

We perform a statistical analysis of experimental fully developed turbulence longitudinal velocity data in the Fourier space. We address the controversial issue of statistical intermittency of spatial Fourier modes by acting on the finite spectral resolution. We derive a link between velocity structure functions and the flatness of Fourier modes thanks to cascade models. Similar statistical behaviors are recovered in the analysis of spatial Fourier modes of vorticity obtained in an acoustic scattering experiment. We conclude that vorticity is long-range correlated and found more intermittent than longitudinal velocity. 相似文献

A new, vectorial approach to fast correlation attacks on binary memoryless combiners is proposed. Instead of individual input sequences or their linear combinations, the new attack is targeting subsets of input sequences as a whole thus exploiting the full correlation between the chosen subset and the output sequence. In particular, the set of all the input sequences can be chosen as the target. The attack is based on a novel iterative probabilistic algorithm which is also applicable to general memoryless combiners over finite fields or finite rings. To illustrate the effectiveness of the introduced approach, experimental results obtained for random balanced combining functions are presentedMost of this work was done while he was with Rome CryptoDesign Center, Gemplus, Italy 相似文献

Fusion cross-sections for the 7Li + 12C reaction have been measured at energies above the Coulomb barrier by the direct detection of evaporation residues. The heavy
evaporation residues with energies below 3 MeV could not be separated out from the α-particles in the spectrum and hence their
contribution was estimated using statistical model calculations. The present work indicates that suppression of fusion cross-sections
due to the breakup of 7Li may not be significant for 7Li + 12C reaction at energies around the barrier. 相似文献

The alternating step generator is a well-known keystream generator consisting of two stop/go clocked LFSRs, LFSR1 and LFSR2, whose clocks are controlled by another LFSR, LFSR3, which is clocked regularly. A probabilistic analysis of this generator is conducted which shows that the posterior probabilites of individual bits of the first derivatives of the regularly clocked LFSR1 and LFSR2 sequences, when conditioned on a given segment of the first derivative of the keystream sequence, can be computed efficiently in a number of probabilistic models of interest. The expected values of these probabilities, for a random keystream sequence, are derived by an approximate theoretical analysis and are also verified by systematic computer experiments. It is pointed out that these posterior probabilities can be enhanced in a resynchronization scenario and thus used for a low-complexity fast correlation attack on the two LFSRs. More generally, it is argued that even without resynchronization these probabilities may be significantly different from one half for fast correlation attacks based on iterative decoding algorithms to be successful, although with incresead complexity. A related method for computing the posterior probabilities of individual bits of the LFSR3 sequence, when conditioned on both the keystream sequence and the LFSR1 and LFSR2 sequences, is also developed. As these posterior probabilities are much more different from one half, they can be used for a low-complexity fast correlation attack on LFSR3, provided that the initial states of LFSR1 and LFSR2 are previously reconstructed. 相似文献
