Matriptase-2 mutations in iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia patients provide new insights into protease activation mechanisms
(Oxford University Press, 2009)
Mutations leading to abrogation of matriptase-2 proteolytic activity in humans are associated with an iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia (IRIDA) due to elevated hepcidin levels. Here we describe two ...
Muscarinic transmission in the basolateral amygdala is necessary for the acquisition of socially transmitted food preferences in rats
(Elsevier, 2009)
We examined the involvement of muscarinic receptors in the basolateral amygdala (BLA) in the social transmission of food preference (STFP) learning by assessing the effects of scopolamine (20 μg/side), ...
The fading 1990s in Japan: driving forces behind the unemployment upsurge
(Elsevier, 2009)
This paper sheds new light on the causes of the unemployment upsurge in Japan during the “fading 1990s”, an unprecedented period of structural crisis. We estimate a labor market model and identify the ...
Measurement of work in single-molecule pulling experiments
(AIP Publishing, 2009)
A main goal of single-molecule experiments is to evaluate equilibrium free energy differences by applying fluctuation relations to repeated work measurements along irreversible processes. We quantify ...
Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins: II. Irreversibility and dissipation
(IOP Publishing, 2009)
We investigate irreversibility and dissipation in single molecules that cooperatively fold/unfold in a two-state manner under the action of mechanical force. We apply path thermodynamics to derive ...
Dynamic force spectroscopy of DNA hairpins: I. Force kinetics and free energy landscapes
(IOP Publishing, 2009)
We investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of DNA hairpins that fold/unfold under the action of applied mechanical force. We introduce the concept of the molecular free energy landscape and derive ...
Statistical properties of metastable intermediates in DNA unzipping
(American Physical Society, 2009)
We unzip DNA molecules using optical tweezers and determine the sizes of the cooperatively unzipping and zipping regions separating consecutive metastable intermediates along the unzipping pathway. Sizes ...
