To study phenotype-genotype correlations, ErbB/Ras pathway tumors (transgenic for ErbB2, c-Neu, mutants of c-Neu, polyomavirus middle T antigene (PyV-mT), Ras, and bi-transgenic for ErbB2/Neu with...

The dynamics of political and economic interactions between Mainland China and Taiwan

Zhaoyong Zhang, Xin Xu, Wei-Bin Zhang

The purpose of this article is to examine the trade and economic linkages across the Taiwan straits from the dynamic economic and political perspectives. In particular, we study the pattern and...

DEVELOPING SELECTIVE OXIDATION CATALYSTS OF LIGHT ALKANES: FROM FUNDAMENTAL UNDERSTANDING TO RATIONAL DESIGN

GANG FU, XIAODONG YI, CHUANJING HUANG, XIN XU, WEIZHENG WENG, WENSHENG XIA, ...

Selective oxidation of light alkanes remains to be a great challenge for the wider use of alkanes as feedstocks. To achieve high activity and at the same time high selectivity, some key issues have...

The Basic Cleft of RPA70N Binds Multiple Checkpoint Proteins, Including RAD9, To Regulate ATR Signaling▿

Xu, Xin, Vaithiyalingam, Sivaraja, Glick, Gloria G., Mordes, Daniel A., Chazin, Walter J., Cortez, David

ATR kinase activation requires the recruitment of the ATR-ATRIP and RAD9-HUS1-RAD1 (9-1-1) checkpoint complexes to sites of DNA damage or replication stress. Replication protein A (RPA) bound to...

Unmasking Imaging Forces on Soft Biological Samples in Liquids When Using Dynamic Atomic Force Microscopy: A Case Study on Viral Capsids

Xu, Xin, Carrasco, Carolina, De Pablo, Pedro Jose, Gomez-Herrero, Julio, Raman, Arvind

Dynamic atomic force microscopy is widely used for the imaging of soft biological materials in liquid environments; yet very little is known about the peak forces exerted by the oscillating probe...

Doubly hybrid density functional for accurate descriptions of nonbond interactions, thermochemistry, and thermochemical kinetics

Zhang, Ying, Xu, Xin, Goddard, William A.

We develop and validate a density functional, XYG3, based on the adiabatic connection formalism and the Görling–Levy coupling-constant perturbation expansion to the second order (PT2). XYG3 is a...

Food prices and obesity: long-run effect in US metropolitan areas

Xu, Xin, Variyam, Jayachandran N., Zhao, Jenny, Chaloupka, Frank
