Graphics processing unit accelerated coarse-grained protein-protein docking
… processing unit (GPU) implementation of the Kim-Hummer coarse-grained model for protein docking simulations, using a Replica Exchange Monte-Carlo (REMC) method. Our highly parallel implementation vastly increases the size- and time scales accessible to molecular simulation. We describe in detail …

Addition of flexible linkers to GPU-accelerated coarse-grained simulations of protein-protein docking
… docking simulation using the Kim and Hummer coarse-grained protein model [1] on a heterogeneous GPU-CPU architecture [2]. This implementation has achieved a significant speed-up over previous serial implementations as a result of the efficient parallelisation of its expensive …

Sorting of Cargo Proteins Within the Regulated Secretory Pathway: the Peripheral Membrane Protein HID-1 as a Sorting and Vesicle Biogenesis Factor
<p>Large dense core vesicles (LDCVs) form at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) and mediate the regulated release of neuropeptides and peptide hormones. Despite their central role to physiology, the mechanisms controlling biogenesis and sorting to LDCVs is not well understood. Optimizing the retention …

Influence of Outcome Expectancy on Optimisim, Pessimism, Anxiety and Self-Confidence in Collegiate Football Players
… Optimism/Pessimism Scale (OPS; Dember, Martin, Hummer, Howe, & Melton, 1989). Trait anxiety levels were established with the Sport Competition Anxiety Test (SCAT; Martens, Vealey, & Burton, 1990). Finally, the Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2; Martens, Burton, Vealey, Bump, & Smith, …
