A Soliton Hierarchy Associated with a Spectral Problem of 2nd Degree in a Spectral Parameter and Its Bi-Hamiltonian Structure by Yuqin Yao, Shoufeng Shen, Wen-Xiu Ma

“…Associated with so~(3,R), a new matrix spectral problem of 2nd degree in a spectral parameter is proposed and its corresponding soliton hierarchy is generated within the zero curvature formulation. Bi-Hamiltonian structures of the presented soliton hierarchy are furnished by using the trace identity, and thus, all presented equations possess infinitely commuting many symmetries and conservation laws, which implies their Liouville integrability.…”

Three-dimensional flow structures modelling based on a depth-integrated method in a sharply curved open channel over topography by Lugina Fikry Purwa, Uchida Tatsuhiko, Blanckaert Koen

“…The benefit of using the BVC technique instead of the 2D model is verified; the 2D model is unable to replicate the profile since it does not take into account three-dimensional flow structures. As seen above, the BVC method is helpful in evaluating the river environment because it can account for the complicated material transports caused by three-dimensional flows in the meandering sections of the river channel.…”

A structure-based designed small molecule depletes hRpn13Pru and a select group of KEN box proteins by Xiuxiu Lu, Monika Chandravanshi, Venkata R. Sabbasani, Snehal Gaikwad, V. Keith Hughitt, Nana Gyabaah-Kessie, Bradley T. Scroggins, Sudipto Das, Wazo Myint, Michelle E. Clapp, Charles D. Schwieters, Marzena A. Dyba, Derek L. Bolhuis, Janusz W. Koscielniak, Thorkell Andresson, Michael J. Emanuele, Nicholas G. Brown, Hiroshi Matsuo, Raj Chari, Deborah E. Citrin, Beverly A. Mock, Rolf E. Swenson, Kylie J. Walters

“…Abstract Proteasome subunit hRpn13 is partially proteolyzed in certain cancer cell types to generate hRpn13Pru by degradation of its UCHL5/Uch37-binding DEUBAD domain and retention of an intact proteasome- and ubiquitin-binding Pru domain. By using structure-guided virtual screening, we identify an hRpn13 binder (XL44) and solve its structure ligated to hRpn13 Pru by integrated X-ray crystallography and NMR to reveal its targeting mechanism. …”
