This paper discusses the dynamical coordination of multiple robot manipulators or a multifingered hand. The coor dination problem is divided into two phases: determining resultant force by robotic mechanisms; internal between mechanisms. used for maintaining dynamic equilibrium and generat ing restoring force. A coordinative control scheme which guarantees object stability proposed, associated with determination forces. to satisfy static frictional constraints related contact stability....

U1 snRNP binds to the 5' exon-intron junction of pre-mRNA and thus plays a crucial role at an early stage splicing. We present two crystal structures engineered sub-structures, which together reveal atomic resolution almost complete network protein-protein RNA-protein interactions within snRNP, show how splice site is recognised by snRNP. The zinc-finger U1-C interacts with duplex between 5'-end snRNA. binding RNA stabilized hydrogen bonds electrostatic backbone around but makes no...

Creation of the splicing catalytic center The fully assembled, precatalytic pre–B spliceosome is not yet formed, even though all pieces are present in this complex. Charenton et al. solved structures human complex, providing detailed mechanistic insights into how helicase Prp28 transfers 5′ splice site messenger RNA precursor from U1 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (snRNP) to U6 snRNA. pairing with induces a series conformational changes that triggers relocation Brr2 and loading U4 snRNA...

A new definition of grasping and manipulating forces for multifingered robot hands is proposed. First, a short discussion the two-fingered with linear motion given to explain motivation more clearly give basic idea definition. Then, three-fingered hands, based on representation internal force, force defined as an that satisfies static friction constraint. The concept grasp mode also introduced. then fingertip following three conditions: (1) it produces specified resultant (2) not in inverse...

This paper discusses the mechanics of coordinative manipulation by multiple robot manipulators or a multifingered hand. The problem is divided into two phases. One determining resultant force robotic mechanisms, and other internal between them. used for an object subjected external forces environmental constraints. adapting mechanisms to uncertainty variety static friction. A dynamic control scheme proposed forces. optimal defined as that yields minimal norm satisfying frictional promotes...

Human beta-globin was synthesized in Escherichia coli as a cleavable fusion protein, using the expression vector pLcIIFX [Nagai, K. & Thøgersen, H. C. (1984) Nature (London) 309, 810-812]. The protein cIIFX purified to homogeneity and cleaved at junction by blood coagulation factor Xa; authentic liberated. Beta-globin folded vitro reconstituted with heme alpha subunits form 2 beta tetramers. oxygen binding properties of Hb are essentially same those human native Hb. Two mutant Hbs (Hb...
