The RMSDs of all backbone and heavy atoms excluding the N terminal tail (S26 to K135) were 0.40 and 1.10 Å, respectively.
Backbone RMS deviations in AFF4 residues 34 66 excluding the variable loop 43 45 range from 1.6 Å to 2.2 Å between AFF4-P-TEFb complexes with and without Tat.
Ethylene glycol increases the stability of proteins because it is excluded preferentially from the backbone, which is accessible in the unfolded state.
To exclude the role of the porous polymer backbone and to highlight the unique property of those PSSs, a porous polymer without a hydrogen bond acceptor, polydivinylbenzene (PDVB), was synthesized for comparison (Supplementary Fig. 12).
In GRASP, core information on individual proteins is given as protein length, the percent composition of each amino acid, the number of atoms of each constituent element in each protein (excluding invariant backbone), and "elemental content", defined (following [ 2]) as 100 / L protein.
* Why exclude the Russians?
If the β3 β4 loop and residues 11 15 (see below) are excluded from the comparison, the backbone RMSD between the two structures drops to 1.00 Å.
Excluding P. remota from Nihoa and Ni'ihau, the backbone of the Hawaiian clade is a trichotomy.
Each sidechain was first subjected to 15 steps of Powell minimization, with the backbone fixed and inter-sidechain interactions excluded.
While anionic surfactants can also act as counter ions and become incorporated in the backbone of the resulting polymer, cationic surfactants are excluded from the material at the final stage of the synthesis [14, 15].
The officials cite other reasons why Huawei should be excluded from the U.S. telecom backbone, including alleged links between company executives and the Chinese Communist Party, allegations that Huawei has sought to evade international sanctions on Iran and North Korea, and recent allegations that a Chinese intelligence operative was on the company's payroll in Poland.
