Superfield twist-2 operators in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 SCFTs and their renormalization-group improved generating functional in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 1 SYM theory by Giacomo Santoni, Francesco Scardino

“…We verify — as originally predicted in [5] and verified in the component formalism [3, 4, 6, 7] — that the leading nonplanar asymptotic RG-improved generating functional matches the structure of logarithm of a functional superdeterminant of the corresponding nonperturbative object, which it should be asymptotic to at short distances because of the asymptotic freedom. …”

The WAC-downWAC domain in the yeast ISW2 nucleosome remodeling complex forms a structural module essential for ISW2 function but not cell viability by Ashish Kumar Singh, Sabine Ines Grünert, Lena Pfaller, Felix Mueller-Planitz

“…Prior data suggested that the genomic deletion of the 374 N-terminal amino acids from Itc1 (hereafter called itc1 ΔN) leads to a gain-of-toxic-function phenotype with severe growth defects in the BY4741 genetic background, possibly due to defective nucleosome spacing activity of the mutant complex. …”
