Folding Thermodynamic and Kinetic Characterization of Small Model Proteins: Lambda Repressor, U1A, Trpzip2 and PAO -12
Complete prediction of the folding processes for complex protein molecules through first principles is currently not possible (2003). Here we take an empirical approach towards a better understanding of the protein-folding problem, through thermodynamic and kinetic characterizations of several …

"The Regulation of Pheophorbide a Oxygenase (Pao) in the ""Green Seed"" Problem in Canola and During Leaf Senescence"
… have been identified. Pheophorbide a oxygenase (PaO) is considered to be a key enzyme in regulating chlorophyll degradation. Pheophorbide a, the substrate of PaO, and other chlorophyll catabolites from canola seeds accumulated after exposure to freezing conditions. Freezing was found to interfere …

Computational analysis of upstream regulatory elements regulating plant chlorophyll degradation
… involves the enzyme pheophorbide a oxygenase (PAO), which oxidizes the chlorophyll degradation intermediate pheide a, that is eventually converted to non-fluorescent chlorophyll catabolites (NCCs). PAO activation in maturing green seeds is known to be disrupted following freezing episodes, but …

Evidence for reversible phosphorylation as a post-translational regulatory mechanism in the chlorophyll catabolic pathway
… enzyme in particular, pheophorbide a oxygenase (PaO), is especially desirable as PaO catalyzes the oxidative opening of the porphyrin ring structure, considered to be the key regulatory point in chlorophyll degradation. Through site-directed mutagenesis of the Arabidopsis thaliana gene encoding …

Quantifying polyphosphate energy for modelling of polyphosphate accumulating organisms behaviour in anaerobic digestors
… of polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs) in linked activated sludge-anaerobic digestion (AS-AD) systems, with particular focus on quantifying polyphosphate (PolyP) energy and its role in PAO metabolism. The study was motivated by observed discrepancies between theoretical predictions …

Improved tracking of phosphorus in wastewater treatment works through anaerobic digestion of p-rich sludge
… processes of phosphorus accumulating organisms (PAOs). Two major models: the “Comeau-Wentzel” model (Comeau et al., 1987) and the “Mino” model (Mino et al., 1988) were developed to explain PAO intracellular processes but the failure of these models to achieve data reconciliation when modelling …

The effects of acetate concentrations on competition between microbial populations in enhanced biological phosphorus removal from wastewater
… for EBPR, polyphosphate accumulating organisms (PAOs), have an advantage over their competitors, the glycogen accumulating organisms (GAOs). Because research EBPR systems have been primarily sequencing batch reactors (SBRs), which include rapid feed addition and relatively high substrate …

Using power spectra to look for anisotropies in ultra-high energy cosmic ray distributions
… to this day. The Pierre Auger Observatory (PAO) is being constructed now in the hopes that it will help solve this mystery by detecting more UHECR than any previous experiment. In this dissertation, I will discuss this experiment, and analyze the data collected so far by comparing it with …

Chinese norms of relationship and communication: An exploration of four folk concepts
… lens of four folk concepts--kuan-hsi (relation), pao (return), mien-tzu (face), and yuan (conditioning factors)--and their associated linguistic expressions. Kuan-hsi summarizes the fundamental attitude Chinese hold toward relationship, pao stresses the balance of interpersonal exchange, mien-tzu …

Polymer Nanocomposites: Polymer And Particle Dynamics And Its Application As Lubricant
… particles are dispersed in poly-[alpha]-olefin (PAO) oligomers, they form homogeneous nanocomposite fluids at both low and high particle loadings. By varying the volume fraction of the SiO2 nanostructures in the PAO nanocomposites, we show that exceptionally stable hybrid lubricants can be …

Flavin Amine Oxidases from the Monoamine Oxidase Structural Family Utilize a Hydride Transfer Mechanism
… flavin amine oxidases, mouse polyamine oxidase (PAO) and human lysine specific demethylase (LSD1), to determine the mechanisms of amine oxidation. PAO is a flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes the oxidation of N1-acetylated polyamines. The pH-dependence of the …

Investigating Novel Inhibitors of Epithelial - Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and Cancer Stem Cells (CSCs) in Pancreatic Cancer
… extracts of two traditional medicinal plants, Pao Pereira extract (Pao) and Rauwolfia vomitoria extract (Rau) for their anti-pancreatic CSC activities. Data demonstrated that Pao and Rau preferentially inhibited the viability of pancreatic CSC population, compared with the whole cancer cell …

Contesting Discourses: Framing, Power, and Counter-Hegemony in Hong Kong’s 2019 Anti-ELAB Movement
… for the analysis were the state-owned Ta Kung Pao, the centrist-oriented Ming Pao, and the independent, pro-democracy alternative platforms Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) and InMedia HK. The findings reveal stark contrasts in framing strategies. Ta Kung Pao consistently represented protesters …

The effect of trace mineral source on solubility, rumen fermentation characteristics, and trace mineral concentration in protozoa and bacteria of steers consuming a lactation dairy type diet
… (SRF) and particle-associated microorganisms (PAO) were obtained. Digesta from HTM-supplemented steers has a lesser (P < 0.01) Mn concentration than STM-supplemented steers on d 14 of the trial. Steers supplemented with STM had a greater (P = 0.0016) soluble Cu concentration in the rumen on d …

Optimizing Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal at WRRFs: Impact of Low DO Operation and Full-Scale Strategies
… toward polyphosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs). Statistical analysis revealed that low DO operation (DO concentrations below 1 mg O2/L) did not negatively impact effluent TP concentrations and were positively correlated with increased PAO abundance. High rates of denitrification fueled by …
