B-cell epitopes in NTS-DBL1α of PfEMP1 recognized by human antibodies in Rosetting Plasmodium falciparum. by Letusa Albrecht, Davide Angeletti, Kirsten Moll, Karin Blomqvist, Davide Valentini, Fabio Luiz D'Alexandri, Markus Maurer, Mats Wahlgren

“…In conclusion, human antibody reactivity with short linear-peptides of NTS-DBL1α of PfEMP1 suggests subdomains 1 and 2 to hold anti-rosetting epitopes recognized by anti-rosetting antibodies. The data suggest rosetting to be mediated by the variable areas of PfEMP1 but also to involve structurally relatively conserved areas of the molecule that may induce biologically active antibodies.…”

Thermodynamic properties prediction of Mg-Al-Zn melts based on the atom and molecule coexistence theory by Zhang Man-Cang, Duan Sheng-Chao, Xu Rong-Huan, Zou Ming, Dong Shi-Wen, Guo Han-Jie, Guo Jing

“…A developed and verified thermodynamic model based on the atom and molecule coexistence theory (AMCT) is employed to predict activities relative to pure liquids in standard state in Mg-Al, Mg-Zn, Al-Zn and Mg-Al-Zn melts through the calculated mass action concentrations of structural units, i.e., Ni. According to AMCT, Ni can be extrapolated and calculated by the chemical equilibrium constant of a structural molecule, i.e., Ki, in the Mg-Al-Zn ternary system and binary subsystems. …”
