TL;DR: A workflow management framework that fully integrates trust and security into the workflow planning logic, which considers not only trust relationships between the workflow requestor and individual services, but also trust relationships among the services themselves. (via Semantic Scholar)

Morphological variants of Sindbis virus produced by a mutation in the capsid protein

MeSH headings : Animals; Capsid Proteins / genetics; Cell Line; Cricetinae; Kidney; Microscopy, Electron; Mutation; RNA, Viral / genetics; Sindbis Virus / genetics; Sindbis Virus / physiology; Sindbis Virus / ultrastructure; Transcription, Genetic; Transfection; Viral Plaque Assay
TL;DR: The data presented in the following manuscript show that mutations in the capsid protein can result in the assembly of the virus structural proteins into icosahedra of different triangulation numbers, and support the hypothesis that families of icosadeltahedra would be developed by altering the distance between the points of insertion of the five-fold axis.

Exposure to low pH is not required for penetration of mosquito cells by Sindbis virus

MeSH headings : Aedes / virology; Ammonium Chloride / pharmacology; Animals; Cells, Cultured; Chloroquine / pharmacology; Hydrogen-Ion Concentration; Sindbis Virus / drug effects; Sindbis Virus / physiology; Virus Replication / drug effects
TL;DR: The results suggest that while these two drugs raise the pH of endosomes, they do not block insect cell penetration, and support previous results suggesting that exposure to an acid environment within the cell may not be an obligatory step in the process of infection of cells by alphaviruses.

TL;DR: The data presented here do not appear to support the presence of pi-back-bonding or an inverse trans effect of NO binding in Mb mutants that alter the electrostatic environment of the heme pocket, leading to the observation that nu(N-O) and nu(Fe-NO) are not quantitatively correlated for the MbNO complexes presented here.
