Spreading of Chromatin Modifications02:25

Spreading of Chromatin Modifications

9.4K
The histone proteins in the nucleosomes are post-translationally modified (PTM) to increase or decrease access to DNA. The commonly observed PTMs are methylation, acetylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination of lysine amino acids in the histone H3 tail region. These histone modifications have specific meaning for the cell. Hence, they are called "histone code". The protein complex involved in histone modification is termed as "reader-writer" complex.

By definition, a spherically symmetric body has the same moment of inertia about any axis passing through its center of mass. This situation changes if there is no spherical symmetry. Since most rigid bodies are not spherically symmetric, these require special treatment.
The relationship between the angular momentum of any rigid body and its angular velocity, both of which are vectors, involves the moment of inertia. The moment of inertia is a scalar quantity only for spherically symmetric...

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer01:35

Asymmetric Lipid Bilayer

9.7K
Biological membranes show uneven distribution of different types of lipids in the inner and outer layers, resulting in transverse asymmetric membranes. The treatment of the erythrocyte membrane with the enzyme phospholipase confirmed the asymmetric nature of the lipid bilayer. The enzyme hydrolyzes lipids into fatty acids and hydrophilic groups. The phospholipase acts only on the outer layer of the membrane, while the inner layer remains intact. The phospholipase treatment resulted in 80%...

Protein Networks02:26

Protein Networks

4.5K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Network Covalent Solids

16.1K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Area of Science:

  • Epidemiology
  • Network Science
  • Computational Biology

Background:

  • Commuting networks exhibit asymmetrical flows, facilitating infectious disease transmission.
  • Understanding spatial epidemic risk requires analyzing bidirectional commuting patterns.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce EpiRank, a novel algorithm for assessing infection risk within commuting networks.
  • To evaluate EpiRank's performance against existing network analysis methods and real-world disease data.

Main Methods:

  • Developed EpiRank using a Markov chain model and PageRank-like algorithm.
  • Integrated forward and backward commuting movements using a daytime parameter.
  • Utilized Taiwan's 2000 census data for network construction and risk mapping.

Main Results:

  • The bidirectional movement model in EpiRank accurately captured spatial epidemic risk.
  • EpiRank outperformed PageRank and HITS algorithms in predicting disease distribution.
  • Backward movement was found to be more critical than forward movement for disease diffusion analysis.

Conclusions:

  • EpiRank provides a superior method for analyzing disease diffusion in commuting networks.
  • The bidirectional nature of commuting is crucial for accurate epidemic risk assessment.
  • EpiRank offers a valuable alternative for public health surveillance and intervention planning.
