Automatization and self-maintenance of the O-GlcNAcome catalog: a smart scientific database.

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are ubiquitous and essential for protein function and signaling, motivating the need for sustainable benefit and open models of web databases. Highly conserved O-GlcNAcylation is a case example of one of the most recently discovered PTMs, investigated by a growing community. Historically, details about O-GlcNAcylated proteins and sites were dispersed across literature and in non-O-GlcNAc-focused, rapidly outdated or now defunct web databases.

Resistance to crown displacement on a hexagonal implant abutment.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the resistance and retention of a hexagonal abutment to crown displacement with varying crown heights (10, 12, and 14 mm) and axis of load. Implants were embedded in resin blocks at a 30 degree angle to the vertical. Crowns were made at heights of 10, 12, and 14 mm.
