Developments in computational chemistry, bioinformatics, and laboratory evolution have facilitated the de novo design and catalytic optimization of enzymes. Besides creating useful catalysts, the generation and iterative improvement of designed enzymes can provide valuable insight into the interplay between the many phenomena that have been suggested to contribute to catalysis. In this work, we fo

Objective: Reconstruction with deep inferior epigastric perforator flap (DIEP) is considered to be the first choice for autologous breast reconstruction. The primary aims of this retrospective study were to find out if differences in smoking habits and BMI are useful predictors for postoperative complications in DIEP surgery. Methods: Three hundred and one patients were included. Data regarding sm

We investigated whether local biotic and abiotic conditions could explain the occurrence of calling males of the declining spadefoot toad Pelobates fuscus in 72 ponds in southern Sweden. The ponds covered the entire distribution range of P. fuscus and were monitored during the breeding season in 2000. Calling males were found in 33 ponds. representing ca 50% of all known ponds for the species ill

Popular Abstract in Swedish Cellulosa är ett av de vanligast förekommande biologiska ämnena på jorden och en mycket viktig råvara. Cellulosa är en polymer, uppbyggd av glukosmolekyler som är bundna till varandra i kedjor. Kedjorna kan bli mycket långa och består ofta av flera tusen glukosmolekyler. Eftersom cellulosakedjor är lineära kan de packa sig parallellt med varandra och bilda styva fibrer Soluble derivatives of cellulose have become increasingly important in industrial products e.g. in pharmaceutical applications and in technical dispersions. The polymer characteristics of modified celluloses are to a high degree determined by the substituent distribution along the polymeric backbone. The distribution will be more or less heterogeneous both due to the fact that polymers from renewa

In this article I examine the development of the idea of marriage as a personal union whose foundation is the relation between the spouses. The theories which developed within the Church from the eleventh century and onwards put the emphasis on the personal side of marriage; the sacrament of marriage was founded on the union between the spouses and not on family interest. From the middle of the tw

The isothermal ternary phase behaviour and structure of amphiphilic copolymer-water-xylene systems was investigated for two poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide) (PEO-PPO) triblo k copolymers, (EO)(4)(PO)(59)(EO)(4) and (EO)(17)(PO)(59)(EO)(17), at 25degreesC. The phase boundaries were identified using H-2 NMR and inspection under polarized light. The microstructure and structural length scal

The successful construction of any well-functioning structure is dependent on a good understanding of the ground on which it lies. Several methods and techniques have been developed to model subsurface conditions and properties with the purpose of gaining comprehensive knowledge of geological conditions. Seismic refraction presents a geophysical method of subsurface investigation capable of provid

Monosubstituted naphthoxylosides have been shown to function as substrates for, and inhibitors of, the enzyme β4GalT7, a key enzyme in the biosynthetic pathway leading to glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans. In this article, we explore the synthesis of 16 xyloside analogues, modified at two different positions, as well as their function as inhibitors of and/or substrates for the enzyme. Seemingly

The rapid development of urban retail companies brings new opportunities to the Chinese economy. Due to the spatiotemporal heterogeneity of different cities, selecting a business location in a new area has become a challenge. The application of multi-source geospatial data makes it possible to describe human activities and urban functional zones at fine scale. We propose a knowledge transfer-based
