    • Cytotoxicity of Botulinum Neurotoxins Reveals a Direct Role of Syntaxin 1 and SNAP-25 in Neuron Survival 

      Peng, Lisheng; Liu, Huisheng; Ruan, Hongyu; Tepp, William H.; Stoothoff, William H.; Brown, Robert H.; Johnson, Eric A.; Dong, Min; Yao, Wei-Dong; Zhang, Su-Chun (2014)
      Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNT/A-G) are well-known to act by blocking synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Whether BoNTs disrupt additional neuronal functions has not been addressed. Here we report that cleavage of syntaxin 1 (Syx ...
    • Cytotoxicity of Hydrogen Peroxide Produced by Enterococcus faecium 

      Moy, Terence I.; Mylonakis, Eleftherios; Calderwood, Stephen B.; Ausubel, Frederick M. (American Society for Microbiology, 2004)
      Although the opportunistic bacterial pathogen Enterococcus faecium is a leading source of nosocomial infections, it appears to lack many of the overt virulence factors produced by other bacterial pathogens, and the underlying ...
    • C–H Functionalization Catalysis via Transition Metal Stabilized Ligand-Based Radicals 

      Dong, Yuyang (2021-04-23)
      Two catalytic systems exploiting the capability of introducing functionalities into C–H bonds using transition metal stabilized ligand-based radicals were explored. The first system utilizes sterically accessible bidentate ...
    • D,L-Cyclic Peptides as Structural Materials 

      Rubin, Daniel James (2015-04-17)
      The bioengineer has a choice of building with proteins, peptides, polymers, nucleic acids, lipids, metals and minerals, each class containing tremendous diversity within its category. While the platforms are diverse, they ...
    • D--branes and Spinning Black Holes 

      Breckenridge, Jason; Myers, Robert; Peet, Amanda; Vafa, Cumrun (Elsevier, 1996)
      We obtain a new class of spinning charged extremal black holes in five dimensions, considered both as classical configurations and in the Dirichlet (D)-brane representation. The degeneracy of states is computed from the ...
    • D-Amino Acids Indirectly Inhibit Biofilm Formation in Bacillus subtilis by Interfering with Protein Synthesis 

      Leiman, Sara A; May, J. M.; Lebar, M. D.; Kahne, Daniel; Kolter, R.; Losick, Richard M. (American Society for Microbiology, 2013)
      The soil bacterium Bacillus subtilis forms biofilms on surfaces and at air-liquid interfaces. It was previously reported that these biofilms disassemble late in their life cycle and that conditioned medium from late-stage ...
    • D-brane Construction of the 5D NHEK Dual 

      Song, Wei; Strominger, Andrew E. (Springer-Verlag, 2012)
      Extremal but non-supersymmetric charged black holes with \(SU(2)_L\) spin in IIB string theory compactified to five dimensions on \(K^3 \times S^1\) are considered. These have a near-horizon or NHEK region with an enhanced ...
    • D-brane Deconstructions in IIB Orientifolds 

      Collinucci, Andres; Denef, Frederik; Esole, Mboyo (Institute of Physics, 2009)
      With model building applications in mind, we collect and develop basic techniques to analyze the landscape of D7-branes in type IIB compact Calabi-Yau orientifolds, in three different pictures: F-theory, the D7 worldvolume ...
    • d-Cycloserine enhances durability of social skills training in autism spectrum disorder 

      Wink, Logan K.; Minshawi, Noha F.; Shaffer, Rebecca C.; Plawecki, Martin H.; Posey, David J.; Horn, Paul S.; Adams, Ryan; Pedapati, Ernest V.; Schaefer, Tori L.; McDougle, Christopher J.; Swiezy, Naomi B.; Erickson, Craig A. (BioMed Central, 2017)
      Background: d-Cycloserine (DCS) enhances extinction learning across species, but it has proven challenging to identify consistent benefit of DCS when added to therapeutic interventions. We conducted a placebo-controlled ...
    • d-Dimer elevation and adverse outcomes 

      Halaby, Rim; Popma, Christopher J.; Cohen, Ander; Chi, Gerald; Zacarkim, Marcelo Rodrigues; Romero, Gonzalo; Goldhaber, Samuel Z.; Hull, Russell; Hernandez, Adrian; Mentz, Robert; Harrington, Robert; Lip, Gregory; Peacock, Frank; Welker, James; Martin-Loeches, Ignacio; Daaboul, Yazan; Korjian, Serge; Gibson, C. Michael (Springer US, 2014)
      d-Dimer is a biomarker of fibrin formation and degradation. While a d-dimer within normal limits is used to rule out the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism among patients with a low clinical probability ...
    • D-helix influences dimerization of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter associated with antigen processing 1 (TAP1) nucleotide-binding domain 

      Vakkasoglu, Ahmet; Srikant, Sriram; Gaudet, Rachelle (Public Library of Science (PLoS), 2017)
      ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters form a large family of transmembrane importers and exporters. Using two nucleotide-binding domains (NBDs), which form a canonical ATP-sandwich dimer at some point within the transport ...
    • D-instantons and String Field Theory 

      Agmon, Nathan Benjamin (2023-05-12)

    • D-modules and finite monodromy 

      Esnault, Hélène; Kisin, Mark (Springer Nature, 2016)
      We investigate an analogue of the Grothendieck p-curvature conjecture, where the vanishing of the p-curvature is replaced by the stronger condition, that the module with connection mod p underlies a XDX -module structure. ...
    • D-Modules on Spaces of Rational Maps and on Other Generic Data 

      Barlev, Jonathan (2012-12-13)
      Fix an algebraic curve X. We study the problem of parametrizing geometric data over X, which is only generically defined. E.g., parametrizing generically defined maps from X to a fixed target scheme Y. There are three methods ...
