Using numerical simulations, we compare properties of knotted DNA molecules that are either torsionally relaxed or supercoiled. We observe that DNA supercoiling tightens knotted portions of DNA molecules and accentuates the difference in curvature between knotted and unknotted regions. The increased curvature of knotted regions is expected to make them preferential substrates of ...

In enteric bacteria, chromosomally encoded permeases specific for lactose, maltose, and melibiose are allosterically regulated by the glucose-specific enzyme IIA of the phosphotransferase system.

A host of human pathogens invades the body at mucosal surfaces. Yet, strong, protective mucosal immune responses directed against those pathogens routinely cannot be induced without the use of adjuvants.

Since the ...

The choice of treatment in carcinoma of the cervix is best decided after careful individual appraisal has been carried out.

Then, we discuss spinning closed string solutions in the UV limit of the Klebanov-Tseytlin background, and also properties ...

We construct an action for an unstable M3-brane in M theory. We argue that, in order to find M3-brane action that upon direct dimensional reduction leads to non-Bogomol'nyi-Prasad-Sommerfield D3-brane action in type IIA theory, we have to presume that the background possesses Killing isometry and that this isometry has to be gauged on the world ...
