Apoptotic nature of erythrocyte hemolysis induced by low doses of ionizing radiationBiophysics - Tập 60 - Trang 79-84 - 2015
V. N. Krylov, A. V. Deriugina, S. N. Pleskova, V. A. Kalinin
It is shown that exposure of rat erythrocytes to low doses of ionizing radiation
(0.04, 0.08, 0.16, 0.25, and 0.33 mGy) leads to nonlinear changes in lipid
peroxidation processes in the membrane of erythrocytes, their electrophoretic
mobility, and osmotic resistance. Ionizing radiation in the dose range from 0.08
to 0.16 mGy apparently triggers apoptosis, leading to deceleration of hemolysis
and s... hiện toàn bộ
Can local energy minimization refine the PDB structures of different resolution universally?Biophysics - - 2009
M. G. Godsie, A. P. Gromova, I. V. Oferkin, P. V. Mironov
Local energy minimization was statistically tested as the refinement strategy
for PDB structure pairs of different resolution. The 13 pairs of structures with
the only difference being the resolution were extracted from PDB and represented
structures of 11 identical proteins obtained with different x-ray diffraction
techniques. The rmsd distribution was calculated for these pairs before and
after ... hiện toàn bộ
The Effect of an Electrochemically Activated Water Solution on Plant Polysaccharides: Phenomenology and SpectrometryBiophysics - - 2024
A. G. Pogorelov, L. G. Ipatova, A. I. Panait, M. A. Pogorelova, A. A. Gulin, V. N. Pogorelova
Changes in the properties of polysaccharides in an electrochemically activated
aqueous solution have been studied using UV-Vis spectrometry, time-of-flight
secondary ion mass spectrometry and scanning electron microscopy. It is shown
that the studied solutions of polysaccharides of plant origin (agar, soluble
starch, and food starch) are subject to modification, the direction of which is

Hydrogen peroxide in artificial photosynthesizing systemsBiophysics - Tập 59 - Trang 169-182 - 2014
A. V. Lobanov, G. G. Komissarov
From the point of view of the concepts of hydrogen peroxide as a source of
photosynthetic oxygen (hydrogen) coordination and photochemical properties of
chlorophyll and its aggregates towards hydrogen peroxide were considered. The
binding energy of H2O and H2O2 with chlorophyll and chlorophyllide depending on
their form (monomers, dimers and trimers) was estimated by quantum chemical
calculations.... hiện toàn bộ
Long-period endogenous oscillations in fish population size: Mathematical modelingBiophysics - Tập 58 - Trang 245-257 - 2013
A. E. Bobyrev, V. A. Burmensky, E. A. Kriksunov, A. B. Medvinsky, N. I. Nurieva, A. V. Rusakov
We present a mathematical model of an aquatic community, where the size-and-age
structure of hydrobiont populations is taken into account and the corresponding
trophic interactions between zooplankton, peaceful fish, and predatory fish are
described. We show that interactions between separate components of the aquatic
community can give rise to long-period oscillations in fish population size. The... hiện toàn bộ
Oxygen effect in heat-induced DNA damageBiophysics - Tập 52 - Trang 185-190 - 2007
A. V. Chernikov, S. V. Gudkov, I. N. Shtarkman, V. I. Bruskov
The major kinds of heat-induced damage to DNA (depurination, guanine oxidation
to 8-oxoguanine, cytosine deamination to uracil) were shown to depend in their
extent on the oxygen content in solution. Formation of hydrogen peroxide in
water upon heating was enhanced in the presence of D2O and decreased by various
scavengers of singlet oxygen, corroborating the involvement of 1O2 in the
thermal gene... hiện toàn bộ
Searching for Sequencing Signal Anomalies Associated with Genomic Structural VariationsBiophysics - - 2024
I. V. Bezdvornykh, N. A. Cherkasov, A. A. Kanapin, A. A. Samsonova
Genomic structural variations (SVs) are among the main sources of genetic
diversity. Structural variants as mutagens may significantly affect human
health, causing hereditary diseases and cancers. Existing methods analyze
high-throughput sequencing data to find structural variants. Despite substantial
progress in their development, the methods still fail to detect structural
variations with an acc... hiện toàn bộ
Electrostatic Interaction of Globins with Phospholipid MembranesBiophysics - Tập 65 - Trang 913-919 - 2021

For the structures of sperm whale myoglobin (swMb), horse heart myoglobin
(hhMb), hemoglobin I (HbI) from botfly Gasterophilus intestinalis (giHbI), and
monomeric and dimeric hemoglobins HbI and HbII from Lucina pectinata mollusk

Description of chitosan binding to DNA at varied ionic strength within the framework of ion condensation and adsorption theoriesBiophysics - Tập 52 - Trang 383-388 - 2007
E. A. Vorob’ev, Yu. D. Nechipurenko, V. I. Salyanov, Yu. M. Evdokimov
Chitosan binding to DNA was studied in solutions of different ionic strength.
Data were analyzed within the model of ion condensation and the thermodynamic
theory of extended ligand binding to DNA. The combination of these approaches
allowed us to assess the sterical and energy characteristics of chitosan binding
to DNA and to find the dependence of chitosan binding constant on solution ionic

Wavelet analysis of nonstationary heart rate variability in a head-up tilt-table testBiophysics - Tập 57 - Trang 530-543 - 2012
S. V. Bozhokin, E. M. Lesova, V. O. Samoilov, P. I. Tolkachev
Heart rate variability during the head-up tilt test (HUT) was investigated using
an automated setup of dynamic positioning in the gravity field. The wavelet
theory was applied to find the dynamics of changes in the spectral properties of
rhythmograms during the transitional steps of HUT. Quantitative parameters
(spectral integrals, instantaneous maximal frequencies, nonstationarity factors)
