Efficient Expression in (LEXSY) of the Receptor-Binding Domain of the SARS-CoV-2 S-Protein and the Acetylcholine-Binding Protein from .

(LEXSY) system is an inexpensive and effective expression approach for various research and medical purposes. The stated advantages of this system are the possibility of obtaining the soluble product in the cytoplasm, a high probability of correct protein folding with a full range of post-translational modifications (including uniform glycosylation), and the possibility of expressing multi-subunit proteins. In this paper, a LEXSY expression system has been employed for obtaining the receptor binding domain (RBD) of the spike-protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the homopentameric acetylcholine-binding protein (AChBP) from .

Radial structure of the constricted positive column: Modeling and experiment.

We present a detailed self-consistent model of a positive column in argon glow discharge at moderate pressures and currents. This model describes the discharge transition between diffuse and constricted states. The model includes an extensive set of plasma chemical reactions and equation for inhomogeneous gas heating.

[Analyzing A- and 0-rhythms of Conditioned Avoidance Reflex in the Rat Brain With Granger Causality].

It has been shown by the method of frequency decomposition of conditional Granger causality that under the execution of conditioned avoidance reflex θ-rhythm from the ventral hippocampus concurrently influences the ventral tegmental area and the series-connected basolateral amygdala and medial prefrontal cortex. Under the expectation of conditioned signal δ-rhythm from the prefrontal cortex influ- ences the ventral tegmental area and the amygdala.

[Δ-, θ-Modulation of the Ventral Tegmental Area Fast-Gamma Activity in the Course of Performance of Conditioned Avoidance Reflex in Rat].

The prestimulus expectation period of conditioned avoidance reflex features synchronized Δ-rhythm (1-4 Hz) in the medial prefrontal cortex and the ventral tegmental area (VTA), and synchronized θ-rhythm (6-8 Hz) in the above-mentioned structures and the hippocampus. According to "Granger causality" Δ- and θ-rhythms flow (are predictors) in the direction from the prefrontal cortex and the hippocampus to the VTA. Performance of conditioned avoidance reflex was marked by Δ-rhythm elimination simultaneously with generation of high-frequency (8-11 Hz) synchronized θ-rhythm.

[The Interaction of the Medial Prefrontal Cortex, Ventral Hippocampus and Basolateral Amygdala in the Course of Performance of Conditioned Avoidance Reflex].

The interaction (synchronization) of activity of the medial prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and basolateral amygdala have been studied in the course of performance of conditioned avoidance reflex. The pre-stimulus expectation period was characterized by low-frequency delta-activity (1-4 Hz) with the source (according to criteria of Granger causality) in the prefrontal cortex and also by synchronized theta-rhythm (6-8 Hz) in the hippocampus. The performance of conditioned avoidance reflex was characterized by generation of high-frequency synchronized theta-rhythm (8-11 Hz) simultaneously with delta-activity elimination.
