Nanocomposite Dispersion: Quantifying the Structure-Function Relationship
… overlooked when relating the effect of nanoscale structures on functional performance and processing/property relationships for nanocomposite materials. This is due in part to the difficulty in visualizing the nanoinclusion and ambiguity in the description of dispersion. Understanding the …

The Structure Function Relationship of Silica Polyamine Composites
… polyamine composites by manipulating the surface structure and to understand the relationship between, polymer structure and ligand modification of the grafted polyamine. Improvements in silica polyamine composite performance resulted from modifying silica gel with methyltrichlorosilane (MTCS) …

Structure-Function Relationship Studies of the Cytochrome Oxidases
Finally, there is evidence of radical migration in the bovine cytochrome c oxidase. Upon formation of the P-state a band was seen by SDS-PAGE analysis that migrated faster than the carbonic anhydrase standard (molecular weight 36800). MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry analysis identified this as a single …

Structure-function relationship in hierarchical model of brain networks
… brain is, with its numerous neural elements and structured complex connectivity, one of the most complex systems in nature. Recently, large-scale corticocortical connectivities, both structural and functional, have received a great deal of research attention, especially using the approach of …

The Structure-Function Relationship of Prestin: from an Evolutionary Perspective
… of this family serve two fundamentally distinct functions. While most members transport different anion substrates across a variety of epithelia, prestin (SLC26A5) uniquely functions as a voltage-dependent motor protein. This voltage-dependent response of prestin is accompanied by a charge …

Exploring Structure Function Relationship using Bio-Inspired DNA-Chromophore Complexes
… a process that is not yet fully understood. The function of these natural complexes are controlled through carefully arranging electronically active molecules with nanoscale precision using a network of protein scaffolds. However, novel protein molecules are difficult to systematically …

Structure-function relationship of archaeal rhodopsin proteins analyzed by continuum electrostatics
Rhodopsin proteins perform two cellular key functions: signaling of external stimuli and ion transport. Examples of both functional types are found in the family of archaeal rhodopsins, namely the proton pump bacteriorhodopsin, the chloride pump halorhodopsin and the photoreceptor sensory rhodopsin …

Structure-Function Relationship Studies of the Rhodobacter Sphaeroides Cytochrome AA(3)
… proton channel identified in the X-ray crystal structure of the cytochrome c oxidases from bovine heart mitochondria and P. denitrificans has been studied using site-directed mutagenesis coupled with a variety of biophysical characterization methods. Based on the work done, it is concluded that …

An investigation of the structure-function relationship in human cervical tissue
… of the cervical tissue thus weakening the structure. Premature softening of the cervical tissue is associated with spontaneous pre term birth and the clinical condition known as cervical insufficiency. "Cervical insufficiency" is clinically defined as a history of spontaneous pre term birth …

Structure-function relationship studies of the cytochrome bd oxidase of Escherichia coli
… $b\sb{558},$ $b\sb{595},$ and d. To explain the functional properties of the oxidase, a simple model has been proposed in which the heme prosthetic groups define two separate active sites on opposite sides of the membrane at which the oxidation of ubiquinol (heme $b\sb{558})$ and the reduction of …

Elucidating the structure-function relationship of the cell-type specific splicing regulator, RBPMS
… motifs. The C-terminal tail is predicted to be unstructured, and such regions of other RNA-binding proteins are often important for higher-order structures including condensates. There are two main isoforms expressed in differentiated VSMCs, RBPMS-A and RBPMS-B, and they have unique extreme …

Investigations of The Structure-Function Relationship In Kainate Receptors Using FöRster Resonance Energy Transfer
… identified structural changes involved in the functional modulation by ions and auxiliary proteins. Additionally, we have characterized the arrangement and dynamics of the heteromeric (GluK2/GluK5). These data will build a foundation for the full biophysical characterization of kainate …

Progress toward a structure-function relationship for novel, small-molecule inhibitors of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1
… inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) is a serpin protein whose function is to inhibit tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase-type plasminogen activator (uPA), and hence, fibrinolysis. This inhibition leads to decreased plasminogen to plasmin conversion, which results in deleterious effects on the …
