We have analyzed the existence of obligatory steps in the folding reaction of the α-spectrin SH3 domain by mutating Asp 48 (D48G), which is at position i+3 of an isolated two-residue type II' β-turn.

Many embedded software applications are natural candidates for mechanization as a state machine. A program that must sequence a series of actions, or handle inputs differently depending on what mode ...

Imagine a robot with an all-around bump sensor. The response to the bump sensor activating depends on the previous state of the robot. If it had been going forward, a bump will send it backwards and ...
