TL;DR: This review summarizes the developments in multi-enzymatic cascades employed for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral alcohols, amines and amino acids, as well as for CC bond formation.
Abstract: Multi-enzymatic cascade reactions, i.e., the combination of several enzymatic transformations in concurrent one-pot processes, offer considerable advantages: the demand of time, costs and chemicals for product recovery may be reduced, reversible reactions can be driven to completion and the concentration of harmful or unstable compounds can be kept to a minimum. This review summarizes the developments in multi-enzymatic cascades employed for the asymmetric synthesis of chiral alcohols, amines and amino acids, as well as for CC bond formation. In addition, a general classification of biocatalytic cascade systems is provided and bioprocess engineering aspects associated with the topic are discussed.

TL;DR: From these structures a hypothetical liganded antibody molecule has been constructed, which is assumed to be rigid, while in the Fc fragment both CH3 and CH2 show the immunoglobulin fold.
Abstract: The crystal structures of a human IgG antibody molecule Kol and a human Fc fragment have been determined at 4-A and 3.4-A resolution respectively, by isomorphous replacement. The electron-density maps were interpreted in terms of immunoglobulin domains based on the Rei and McPC 603 models (Kol) and by model-building (Fc). The Fab parts of Kol have a different quaternary structure from that observed in isolated crystalline Fab fragments, there being no longitudinal V-C contact in Kol. The Fc part C terminal to the hinge is disordered in the Kol crystals. It is suggested that the Kol molecule is flexible in solution, whereas fragments are rigid. In the Fc fragment both CH3 and CH2 show the immunoglobulin fold. The CH3 dimer aggregates as CH1-CL while CH2 are widely separated from each other. The carbohydrate bound to Fc is in fixed position. From these structures a hypothetical liganded antibody molecule has been constructed, which is assumed to be rigid.

TL;DR: Experimental data of individual samples indicated anisotropic and highly nonlinear tissue properties as well as considerable interspecimen differences in the atherosclerotic lesions.
Abstract: Knowledge of the biomechanical properties of human atherosclerotic plaques is of essential importance for developing more insights in the pathophysiology of the cardiovascular system and for better predicting the outcome of interventional treatments such as balloon angioplasty. Available data are mainly based on uniaxial tests, and most of the studies investigate the mechanical response of fibrous plaque caps only. However, stress distributions during, for example, balloon angioplasty are strongly influenced by all components of atherosclerotic lesions. A total number of 107 samples from nine human high-grade stenotic iliac arteries were tested; associated anamnesis of donors reported. Magnetic resonance imaging was employed to test the usability of the harvested arteries. Histological analyses has served to characterize the different tissue types. Prepared strips of 7 different tissue types underwent cyclic quasistatic uniaxial tension tests in axial and circumferential directions; ultimate tensile stresses and stretches were documented. Experimental data of individual samples indicated anisotropic and highly nonlinear tissue properties as well as considerable interspecimen differences. The calcification showed, however a linear property, with about the same stiffness as observed for the adventitia in high stress regions. The stress and stretch values at calcification fracture are smaller (179 +/- 56 kPa and 1.02 +/- 0.005) than for each of the other tissue components. Of all intimal tissues investigated, the lowest fracture stress occurred in the circumferential direction of the fibrous cap (254.8 +/- 79.8 kPa at stretch 1.182 +/- 0.1). The adventitia demonstrated the highest and the nondiseased media the lowest mechanical strength on average.

TL;DR: These methods, described in this paper, are especially valuable when investigating the effects of pesticide applications, environmental pollution and diseases on colony survival.
Abstract: SummaryA variety of methods are used in honey bee research and differ depending on the level at which the research is conducted. On an individual level, the handling of individual honey bees, including the queen, larvae and pupae are required. There are different methods for the immobilising, killing and storing as well as determining individual weight of bees. The precise timing of developmental stages is also an important aspect of sampling individuals for experiments. In order to investigate and manipulate functional processes in honey bees, e.g. memory formation and retrieval and gene expression, microinjection is often used. A method that is used by both researchers and beekeepers is the marking of queens that serves not only to help to locate her during her life, but also enables the dating of queens. Creating multiple queen colonies allows the beekeeper to maintain spare queens, increase brood production or ask questions related to reproduction. On colony level, very useful techniques are the measu...
