Just as the structure of a protein determines its function, protein motions and lack-of-structure are also key to regulating protein behavior. The human eye lens is made up of high concentrations of extremely stable crystallin proteins, but even in this context, small motions over time can cause a loss of...

Carbonic anhydrases are ubiquitous enzymes that catalyze the reverse hydration and dehydration of carbon dioxide and bicarbonate respectively. A variety of tumors in humans show overexpression of human carbonic anhydrase II (HCA II) leading to an acidic breakdown of carbon dioxide into bicarbonate. While a variety of drug inhibitors exist,...
In this paper we define the regulatory structure of the New Zealand Quota Management System (QMS) and document key changes in its operation over time. We document the relevant legislation that affected the quota market from the Fisheries Act 1983 forward. We describe how the QMS operates in New Zealand...
