We apply this formalism to the superconductor-insulator transition and we briefly discuss the applications to the order-disorder transition in quantum magnets. The effective spin-1/2 models for these transitions are solved in the cavity approximation which becomes exact on a Bethe lattice with large branching number K >> 1 and weak dimensionless coupling g -

Department of Biological ChemistryOrganizer Faculty of PhysicsContact Abstract Show full text abstract about The number of possible possible protein sequences is astrono...» The number of possible possible protein sequences is astronomically high
(20^n, where n is the protein's length, or number of amino acids), but only
a very small fraction of these sequences encode functional proteins. The
functional sequences constantly diverge in sequence, drifting further and
further away from from their origin (the common ancestor from which they
diverged) and also from one another. What drives this process that has been
compared to space expansion? Analysis of contemporary proteins suggests
that, along certain dimensions, the expansion of sequence space is limited -
namely, certain protein positions will never change. Is that so? Or perhaps,
if given enough time, proteins of common descent will drift so far such that
they would entirely loose their common sequence features?

RIBOSOMAL PROTEINS AND p53 ACTIVATION

Department of Molecular Medicine and Biotechnology Faculty of Medicine University of Rijeka CroatiaOrganizer Department of Molecular Cell BiologyContact Abstract Show full text abstract about Our group studies the consequences of ribosomal protein defi...» Our group studies the consequences of ribosomal protein deficiencies in mammals. Initially, we demonstrated that inducible deletion of the ribosomal protein S6 gene in the liver of adult mice inhibits the synthesis of the 40S ribosomal subunit as well as proliferation of liver cells following partial hepatectomy, despite seemingly unaffected protein synthesis. These observations suggested the existence of a novel checkpoint, downstream of the deficiency in ribosome biogenesis. We and several other research groups have recently provided convincing evidence for the existence of this checkpoint and demonstrated that the p53 tumor suppressor is its critical component. Our research interests focus on understanding the molecular basis of this checkpoint response and determining its role in pathogenesis of various diseases, including developmental abnormalities and cancer. -
