Bridge Structural Damage Identification Technique Based on BPNN and Vehicle-bridge Interaction Analysis by Lingling Li, Yibo Zhang

“…The response of the contact point of the bridge deck and tires was then used as the input of the back propagation neural network to compute the coupled vibration equations of the vehicle and bridge, and create the data set of the vehicle and bridge’s response. It can also locate the damaged bridge structure appropriately, and assess the extent of damage. …”

Dynamic and structural insights into allosteric regulation on MKP5 a dual-specificity phosphatase by Erin Skeens, Federica Maschietto, Ramu Manjula, Shanelle Shillingford, James Murphy, Elias J. Lolis, Victor S. Batista, Anton M. Bennett, George P. Lisi

“…We demonstrate using crystallographic and NMR spectroscopy approaches that residue Y435 is required to maintain the structural integrity of the allosteric pocket. Along with molecular dynamics simulations, these data provide insight into how changes in the allosteric pocket propagate conformational flexibility in the surrounding loops to reorganize catalytically crucial residues in the active site. …”
