Influence of Worm-wheel Rotational Deflection on Meshing Performance of the Cylindrical Roller Enveloping Internal Engagement Worm Gear by Song Yuanhong, Deng Xingqiao, Jiang Yuanyuan

“…The analysis of root-cutting and performance of rotation is carried out by using boundary curve equation and rotational formula. The study indicates that the worm-wheel rotational deflection angle that is equal or larger than 44° has occurred undercutting,and the performance of rotation is degraded with the increase in wheel rotational angle; at the same time,performance of rotation is degraded with the increase in the curvature of the contact line on the cylindrical roller. …”

Yerba mate (Ilex paraguariensis) genome provides new insights into convergent evolution of caffeine biosynthesis by Federico A Vignale, Andrea Hernandez Garcia, Carlos P Modenutti, Ezequiel J Sosa, Lucas A Defelipe, Renato Oliveira, Gisele L Nunes, Raúl M Acevedo, German F Burguener, Sebastian M Rossi, Pedro D Zapata, Dardo A Marti, Pedro Sansberro, Guilherme Oliveira, Emily M Catania, Madeline N Smith, Nicole M Dubs, Satish Nair, Todd J Barkman, Adrian G Turjanski

“…In order to gain insight into the structural basis for the convergent enzyme activities, we obtained a crystal structure for the terminal enzyme in the pathway that forms caffeine. The structure reveals that convergent solutions have evolved for substrate positioning because different amino acid residues facilitate a different substrate orientation such that efficient methylation occurs in the independently evolved enzymes in YM and coffee. …”
