Kinetics and dynamics study on the allosteric pathway of phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Phosphofructokinase from Escherichia coli (EcPFK) is allosterically regulated by MgADP and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which act to activate or inhibit, respectively, by changing the substrate (Fru-6-P) affinity of the ...
Robust manufacturing system design using petri nets and bayesian methods
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
Manufacturing system design decisions are costly and involve significant
investment in terms of allocation of resources. These decisions are complex, due to
uncertainties related to uncontrollable factors such as processing ...
A nuclear magnetic resonance probe of group IV clathrates
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)
The clathrates feature large cages of silicon, germanium, or tin, with guest atoms
in the cage centers. The group IV clathrates are interesting because of their thermoelectric efficiency, and their glasslike thermal ...
