In silico docking of forchlorfenuron (FCF) to septins suggests that FCF interferes with GTP binding. by Dimitrios Angelis, Eva Pauline Karasmanis, Xiaobo Bai, Elias T Spiliotis

“…Septins are GTP-binding proteins that form cytoskeleton-like filaments, which are essential for many functions in eukaryotic organisms. Small molecule compounds that disrupt septin filament assembly are valuable tools for dissecting septin functions with high temporal control. …”

Design of an Unmatching Observer-Based Controller for Discrete-Time Fuzzy Systems with Time Delay by Zejian Zhang, Dawei Wang

“…The problem of an unmatching observer-based controller design for discrete-time fuzzy systems with time delay is investigated, in which the fuzzy controller shares different membership functions from the fuzzy model. The objective is to design a state observer and unmatching fuzzy controller such that the discrete closed-loop system with time delay is asymptotically stable. …”

Global Dissipativity on Uncertain Discrete-Time Neural Networks with Time-Varying Delays by Qiankun Song, Jinde Cao

“…The problems on global dissipativity and global exponential dissipativity are investigated for uncertain discrete-time neural networks with time-varying delays and general activation functions. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals and employing linear matrix inequality technique, several new delay-dependent criteria for checking the global dissipativity and global exponential dissipativity of the addressed neural networks are established in linear matrix inequality (LMI), which can be checked numerically using the effective LMI toolbox in MATLAB. …”

Current Progress in the Structural and Biochemical Characterization of Proteins Involved in the Assembly of Lipopolysaccharide by Heather O. Bohl, Hideki Aihara

“…The following review describes the current state of our understanding of the proteins responsible for the synthesis and transport of LPS with an emphasis on the contribution of protein structures to our understanding of their functions. Because the lipid A portion of LPS is relatively well conserved, a detailed description of the biosynthetic enzymes in the Raetz pathway of lipid A synthesis is provided. …”
