Collagenases are enzymes that break the peptide bonds in collagen. They assist in destroying extracellular structures in the pathogenesis of bacteria such as Clostridium. They are a considered a virulence factor, facilitating the spread of gas gangrene. They normally target the connective tissue in muscle cells and other body organs.[1]
Collagen, a key component of the animal extracellular matrix, is made through cleavage of pro-collagen by collagenase once it has been secreted from the cell. This stops large structures from forming inside the cell itself.
In addition to being produced by some bacteria, collagenase can be made by the body as part of its normal immune response. This production is induced by cytokines, which stimulate cells such as fibroblasts and osteoblasts, and can cause indirect tissue damage.[citation needed]
Collagenases have been approved for medical uses for
Collagenase remains an investigational drug for the treatment of Peyronie's disease. [3] It has presented a documented efficiency in reducing the size of plaques or in some cases eliminating them.[4]
This group of metallopeptidases constitutes the MEROPS peptidase family M9, subfamilies M9A and M9B (microbial collagenase, clan MA(E)). The protein fold of the peptidase domain for members of this family resembles that of thermolysin, the type example for clan MA and the predicted active site residues for members of this family and thermolysin occur in the motif HEXXH.[5]
Microbial collagenases have been identified from bacteria of both the Vibrio and Clostridium genera. Collagenase is used during bacterial attack to degrade the collagen barrier of the host during invasion. Vibrio bacteria are non-pathogenic, and are sometimes used in hospitals to remove dead tissue from burns and ulcers. Clostridium histolyticum is a pathogen that causes gas gangrene; nevertheless, the isolated collagenase has been used to treat bed sores. Collagen cleavage occurs at an Xaa+Gly in Vibrio bacteria and at Yaa+Gly bonds in Clostridium collagenases .
Analysis of the primary structure of the gene product from Clostridium perfringens has revealed that the enzyme is produced with a stretch of 86 Residues that contain a putative signal sequence.[6] Within this stretch is found PLGP, an amino acid sequence typical of collagenase substrates. This sequence may thus be implicated in self-processing of the collagenase.[6]
Metalloproteases are the most diverse of the four main types of protease, with more than 50 families identified to date. In these enzymes, a divalent cation, usually zinc, activates the water molecule. The metal ion is held in place by amino acid ligands, usually three in number. The known metal ligands are His, Glu, Asp or Lys and at least one other residue is required for catalysis, which may play an electrophillic role. Of the known metalloproteases, around half contain an HEXXH motif, which has been shown in crystallographic studies to form part of the metal-binding site.[5] The HEXXH motif is relatively common, but can be more stringently defined for metalloproteases as 'abXHEbbHbc', where 'a' is most often valine or threonine and forms part of the S1' subsite in thermolysin and neprilysin, 'b' is an uncharged residue, and 'c' a hydrophobic residue. Proline is never found in this site, possibly because it would break the helical structure adopted by this motif in metalloproteases.[5]

Evening out with colleagues. Well prepared Japanese-Belgian fusion food. The portions err on the side if nouvelle - quite petite. Hard to comment on the ambience as our group took over the place. Food is very good.
This place has been long on our bucket list following the raving reviews on TA. We took the 4-course menu for 40 euro. The starter was excellent, but what followed was mediocre at best. On the positive side is their comprehensive and fairly priced wine list, a cosy setting (although it does get noisy when filled up) and friendly staff.... More
We opted for the 4-course "les yeux fermees" surprise menu (39€). The 2 starters were tasty and unique, especially the sushi foie gras.Our expectations for the main were rather high but we were somehow disappointed. The main was pheasant in white wine sauce that tasted rather basic and blunt. Very average really. The dessert was a nice chocolate mouse with... More
In a quite street near place Flagey, Chez Oki restaurant delivers an intricate fusion of Japanese and French cuisine. We took a four course menu - they also offer 3 and 5 course ones - which positively reflects on the invoice in comparison to a dinner a la carte, but it leaves you wondering what you might get from the... More
We all very much likes the style of the reataurant. Although it became a bit noisy towards the end of the evening with even table occupied. Try getting a table in the back part of the restaurant. Also very nice to have the open kitchen and see the chef preparing the food. The food was really good. We all had... More
Excellent and delicious food but... but one hour and 10 minutes between entrée and main dish is just way too long ( table of only two people).
Food was delicious, service quite fast and also nice and friendly. We got one 30€ and one 40€ menus. They bring different things from the starter to the dessert. The maki style rolls with salmon, tuna and something I can't remember were absolutely fantastic. The canard was also very well cooked, tasty and served very nicely. Dessert very innovative and... More
The French-Japanese fusion may seem a bit strange on the surface, but was incredibly delicious. The staff was pleasant and attentive, and the food -while not cheap -was well worth the money. It's in a slightly sketchy neighbourhood, but don't let that put you off. (While it doesn't have a Michelin star, it is recommended by Michelin, and Chef Oki... More
Black mullet sashimi. Saint Jacque with ramen excellent combination. Breast de canard with salad, cucumber and soft egg was a bit adventurous.. Sushi foie gras caramelize packed with flavor and taste. Lamb chops in miso sauce was another high quality plate. White chocolate cake with forest fruit sorbet provides a simple but nice finish.

BAD THIGH: Pacers forward Jermaine O'Neal, working on his jump shot during practice Monday, will not play tonight.
- Filed Under
Jermaine O'Neal won't play tonight against the visiting San Antonio Spurs, and no one knows when the Indiana Pacers All-Star forward will make his preseason debut.
O'Neal, out with a right thigh contusion, said he is in no rush to return.
"The bigger picture for me is getting ready for the regular season," he said. "I know I'm not going to play (tonight) for sure. If I can get back (Thursday against Minnesota) that will be great, but I have no real date set right now." ...

PoliticsGambia to drop English as 'colonial relic' President Jammeh says that his country will no longer use foreign language, but does not state preferred alternative. 13 Mar 2014 20:10 GMT | Politics, Africa, US & Canada, Gambia, Senegal President Jammeh did not say which language the tiny West African country will use in place of English [AFP]Gambia will drop English as an official language soon because it is a colonial relic, President Yahya Jammeh has said, without indicating which language the tiny West African country would use in its place. "We no longer believe that for you to be a government you should speak a foreign language. We are going to speak our own language," Jammeh said in an address in English last week that was broadcast on Tuesday. Gambia's 1.9 million people speak several African languages including Mandingo, Fula and Wolof, the most widely spoken language of Senegal, its only direct neighbour. The country gained independence from Britain in 1965. English is the main language of education, but Jammed said that was no reason to keep it. "The British did not care about education, that means they were not practising good governance. All they did was loot and loot and loot," he said. Jammeh spoke during the swearing-in of Justice Ali Nawaz Chowhan, a Pakistani national, as Gambia's new chief justice. The president, who seized power in a 1994 coup, drew international criticism after he executed a number of prisoners in 2012. In October, he accused the US and UK of fomenting coup attempts and supporting the opposition. He did not give a precise timeframe for dropping English but said it would happen "very soon".Source: Reuters

Mohawk Industries' CEO Discusses Q1 2012 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Frank, would you give our financial report, please?
Frank H. Boykin
Sure. I'd be glad to, Jeff. Good morning, everyone. Net sales for the quarter were $1,409,000,000, up 5% or a 6% increase on a constant exchange rate basis. Both higher volume and pricing benefited our results. Gross profit was $359 million, with a margin of 25.5% flat with last year. Price increases, volume and productivity improvements offset inflation. SG&A was $287 million or 20.4% of net sales. This was an improvement of 90 basis points over last year. We're continuing to control our cost, holding our dollars flat and leveraging on higher sales. We expect the SG&A dollars to be flat for the full year.
Our operating income was $72 million, with a margin of 5.1%. Our margin grew 40 basis points over last year. We continue to drive profitability improvements throughout the business. Interest expense was $22 million. It was lower than last year, with lower rates from our new bank facility and a rating agency upgrade. We estimate our quarterly expense to be $20 million in future quarters.
Our income tax rate was 20%, which compares to a 17% rate last year. We expect the rate to improve slightly over the rest of the year. Earnings per share were $0.58 per share or a 38% improvement over 2011. If we move to the segments. The Mohawk segment sales were $700 million or 1% better than last year as we implemented carpet price increases to offset inflation. Our carpet sales are up, in line with the carpet industry, which increased 3% year-over-year. This was offset by lower rug sales. In the rug business, deferred customer promotions, channel inventory declines and mix reduced our rug sales. Our operating income was $25 million, with a margin of 3.6%, which was flat with last year. Raw material inflation partially offset -- was partially offset by lagging price increases.

Being There (In Person or via Robot)
in Technology
Why actually travel anywhere when you can beam yourself into a robot that's alfready there?
Hosts Phil Bowermaster and Stephen Gordon discuss the emergence of the telepresence robot phenomenon. How important will this capability be for business in the coming years? And will we be using telepresence robots in our personal lives?
Tune in an explore.
Here are the two Technology review articles mentioned in the discussion:
PODCAST: The Future of Teleconferencing for Government
in Technology
Whether providing professional development resources, enabling collaboration among a distributed workforce or simply following an executive order, agencies everywhere are embracing teleconferencing and reaping its many benefits.
In the past, video teleconferencing was unreliable and the lack of dependable technology made for a frustrating and less-than-productive experience. Fast-forward to today, and there are a number of new innovations that are allowing organizations to fully embrace video conferencing. In addition, with travel budgets nearly depleted for government agencies, next-generation video conferencing can help them remain productive and effective in these austere times.
These are some of the key themes that Andrew Reitter, Senior Manager – Technical Marketing Engineer – TelePresence at Cisco, addressed in a recent TechSource podcast.
Innovating in healthcare with IBM UCC and Polycom
in Health
IBM and Polycom have developed a platform for true Unified Communications and Collaboration that can be used in a healthcare & telemedicine environment, enabling organisations to adapt to the pressures of cost, limited resource and the challenges of time – time that can be used to improve patient outcomes and pathways.
Keys to Success in Enterprise Video
in Technology
Video has joined audio and text as an essential enterprise medium. This E2 Radio episode featuring guest Brian Chee of the University of Hawaii's Advanced Network Computing Lab will explore new developments in video for business, and the strategies and techniques that will let your company succeed in the video age.
Will Visual Conferencing Save The Day For Small Business?
in Business
Executive time has become more precious. Companies have become more widely dispersed.
Travel is more challenging than ever. As companies look to boost business productivity and manage costs, visual conferencing and online collaboration keeps looking better and better.
Fortunately technology has evolved to the point where an employee working from home has the capability of being face-to-face with co-workers, bosses, customers, and vendors online – simultaneously – without ever hopping on a plane or sitting in traffic. According to the research firm Forrester, 34 million Americans are working from home at least part time. If everyone who could work from home did work from home, it is estimated that the U.S. businesses would save an estimated $700 billion annually. As a result of technology and economic need, the number of employees working from home is expected to double before the end of the decade.
This convergence of rising travel costs, unreliable air transportation, and falling "telepresence" costs will lead inevitably to a decline of business travel. That decline is coming at a time when the need to meet and collaborate is increasing, not decreasing.
For all these reasons, I'm very pleased that my guest for this week's show is J.W. Penland. J.W. is CEO at IOCOM, which just launched its revolutionary Visimeet technologies. Visimeet is a game-changer. It levels the already flattened playing field between small and large business and puts a leading edge productivity tool onto the desktop of every employee and business owners.
Tune in on Wednesday August 11 at 11 AM EDT when J.W. Penland joins me to talk about how visual communication solutions will change the way we do business.
Who should listen? Executives, small business owners, health care providers, recruiters, HR, entrepreneurs. -

Ring grunnlegger og CEO Jamie Siminoff innrømmer at mens Doorbot var hovedsakelig en suksess, det var også veldig mye en første-generasjons produkt, komplett med sin egen feil og mangler, tilbakemeldinger fra som gikk inn å informere utformingen av ringen. Ring som en merkevare er utformet for å omfatte mer enn bare en telepresence-løsning for inngangsdøren; hensikten var å skape et selskap bilde som kunne gjelde for den samlede sikkerhet i hjemmet, med tanke på fremtiden og koblet hjemme behandling av hjem beskyttelse.

Medical schools have various levels of selectivity (some are harder to get into than others), and both the quality of their clinical training and level of research are measured. Additional medical training in both residency and fellowships and the facilities they are conducted at also provide a history of the doctors' level of training and experience.

No problem, I enjoy helping around :P I think the clue here is to have a soft taper and to keep the thickness of the wing along the span, which means having higher thickness percent in the tip as in the root. From this perspective the linear washout works well. This is very similar to what one will get from a constant chord wing but it seems that the taper helps in the glide ratio in general and reduces the trim speed which is positive for the thermaling application, still we need to build, fly and test
I am thinking in building a bigger cutting bow in that way I can cut the panels at once, but I have to decide. I am attaching a file to calculate the composite structure of your wing is very cool and you can check several combinations. I just ordered the Skynavigation system to test my wings more "scientifically" (NERD) and with the dollar so cheap I could not resist it regards EZ |

well I think it simply help us avoiding un interesting mistakes, so we can go and make the interesting ones the XLS file calculates the skins you will need for your composite construction, I think for the 3m wing you might need to use some cap spars
Regards EZ |

This plank was made for slope fun with a little bit of thermal suitability. I had a little accident at the rubber launch with it long ago. The Plank is repaired, bud at present no servo is in the wing, so the testing was not completed. I have designed a follower, but not yet built. Everything has its time...now it´s time to go to bed with dream- Uwe. |

Sorry sawman, I've been undergoing a protracted period of procrastination and indecision.
The original layout I was thinking of is so close to a wing I've already built, I'm thinking I should invest the time in something new and have been thinking about Edwin's design which he feels would be a better performer. Edwin, have you still got any of the details to hand? maybe you could share them with us and summersie the benefits. Regards Paul |

Well I am a bit away from wings now :P I am building a new set of wings for one of my F5J planes :P I have the supplies but my time is more limited than ever :P Moreover, I am having problems with the electrified versions of the wings, it has been very challenging for me to adjust the trust angles in the motor :P while they fly very well in the slope.
From the XFLR predictions the wings benefits from the constant thickness and the swept produces by the reduction in the chord. The profile HS 520 seems to give no great pitching attitude with flaps deployed, which is good. With a big cutting bow one could cut the wing in one go, which is in my future plans, it is also possible to cut it on three piece. I think i send you the CAD file with all the details, just let me know if I forgot to do it :P I have ordered a power set up but i still need to decide where I am going to put it. The advantage of a 3m wing is that one can have a longer nose and a longer prop without affecting too much the CoG. Furthermore, I really don't want a 17x11 prop spinning behind my valuable hands :P a tractor set up will require a long fuse which helps to visualize the wing's attitude in the distance while thermaling Regards EZ |
Aug 22, 2011, 04:35 AM | |
Hi Edwin
Yes, I still have the file thanks....so it's the HS 520 but modified so that the wing has the same thickness from root to tip. Shall we go with that then? Would you be happy for me to build your design Edwin? As I mentioned earlier I'd prefer to try something new, rather than just build a bigger version of my previous 'wing. |

Hi Paul,
well I will be honored if you build it it somehow got very low in my todo list, so I will be more than happy to it flying. and yes the thickness of the HS520 changes from root(6.8%) to tip(8.1%) -3° washout -2° dihedral. I still need to calculate the tips but that does not take lots of time regards Edwin |
Aug 23, 2011, 02:55 PM | |
Right then Edwin, I'm in your hands! I hope no one reading the thread will feel short changed when they get to the end and realise the finished model is only 3m span!
I have plotted the wing sections and washout today and attach the screen grabs. I have thinned the HS520 progressively toward the root so the tip is at the original thickness and the wing thickness itself is constant. I have also modified the templates so I can pin them to the foam at 90 deg to the leading edge, the section will then come true when I trim the tip and root for sweep. I'll cut each semi-span in 3 sections governed by the size of my bow and my supply of raw materials. That root section will end up mighty thin Edwin...hope I won't be selling myself short on lift. Mind you I suppose the flaps will allow me to dial in some camber..... |

Shock news alert: some pictures of Arianny Celeste not wearing a bikini have surfaced. Predictable news alert: she still looks hot as hell.
Last time we saw Arianny, she was in a bikini and we reckoned that there were no pictures taken of her ever that didn't involve her squeezed into a bikini in some way. Well, as if to prove us wrong – and we didn't NEED to be proved wrong, damnit, we would have been happy with things the way they were – here are some pictures of her in a dress at a pre-UFC-fight party.
We're sorry Arianny, you've got headlions. This shampoo should clear them up
Luckily for us, it's not much of a dress. It's not, say, the sort of dress that a schoolmarm might wear to watch over a flock of errant rascals and teach them their ABC's. It's not the sort of dress that female pilgrims would encase themselves in for their long trip across the Atlantic. Nor is it the sort of dress that your gran would wear to church.
No, this is a sexy dress, because Arianny Celeste is a sexy woman, and no less would do for her. Indeed, the one time she tried to wear conservative clothing, it spontaneously combusted in several strategic locations leaving her lithe, tanned body tastefully exposed.
Oh, they've spread all over the walls. We'll have to get the exterminators in
We're pretty sure that God helped.
Arianny's not content with just holding up a piece of card, oh no! She's actually launching a singing career. If you can be bothered, why not have a listen via the video below? Or, you know, just mute the sound and look at some pictures of her in a bikini. Whatever you'd like.
Also, doesn't it sound weirdly like Remedy by Little Boots? Yeah. Funny, that.

The room was very comfortable, linens were nice and clean and high-quality. Bathroom had plenty of towels. The staff that I spoke to (I only stayed one night, so I spoke to check-in and check-out staff at the front desk only) were very nice.
In the packets provided with the coffee in the room, each person is given ONE sugar packet. ONE. I don't know about you, but that's not even close to enough for me. My boyfriend and I decided to pool our sad two sugars into one cup and share it. :(

5 NFL Teams That Should Just Move Already
Buffalo Bills
Issue: Stadium renovations
If you're a Buffalo Bills fan, what's your motivation for putting tax dollars into a proposed $200 million upgrade for Ralph Wilson Stadium?
Is it the team's insistence that one "home" game a year be played in Toronto for each of the past four years? Is it 92-year-old owner Ralph Wilson's assertion that he can't guarantee the team's future in Buffalo, N.Y., after he dies? Is it the team's demand that fans fill 73,000-seat Ralph Wilson Stadium - which seats one-quarter of Buffalo's entire population -- in the dead of winter while the Chicago Bears need to draw fewer than 62,000 to sell out Soldier Field in a far larger market? Or is it the team's losing record since 1999?
Maybe it's the Bills' refusal of NFL's offer to lift blackouts at 85% capacity because they didn't want to pay $90,000 per home game into the league's anti-blackout revenue pool. That decision already blacked out one preseason home game and has done little to assure hometown fans they won't be watching the Toronto Bills (T-Bills?) in a decade or so.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
