A Phonetic Study of the Velar Glide [w] in Persian

Persian velar glide [w], unlike the palatal glide [j], does not serve a contrastive function in Persian phonology since it has incomplete distribution, occurring only in few words after the mid back vowel /o/.Thus, [w] is described as an allophone of the phoneme /v/.Furthermore, it has been assumed that Cups [w] in [ow] may be deleted in connected

The effect of macromolecular crowding on the electrostatic component of barnase-barstar binding: a computational, implicit solvent-based study.

Macromolecular crowding within the cell can impact both protein folding and binding.Earlier models of cellular crowding focused on the excluded volume, entropic effect of crowding agents, which generally favors compact protein states.Recently, other effects of crowding have been explored, including enthalpically-related crowder-protein interactions
