Almost half of all enzymes must associate with a particular metal to function. An ambition is
to understand why each metal–protein partnership arose and how it is maintained. Metal …

Protein metal-coordination sites are richly varied and exquisitely attuned to their inorganic
partners, yet many metalloproteins still select the wrong metals when presented with mixtures …

Copper is a required micronutrient for bacteria and an essential cofactor for redox‐active
cuproenzymes. Yet, excess copper is extremely toxic, and is exploited as a bacteriocide in …

What is 16 feet long, 10 feet high, weighs 6,000 pounds, has six legs, and can sprint at 8 mph
and step over a 4 foot wall? The Adaptive Suspension Vehicle (ASV) described in this book…

A new theory and a resulting algorithm for tracing the bounding surfaces of mechanical
manipulator workspaces is presented. The natures of the numerous singular configurations and …

Metals are needed by at least one-quarter of all proteins 1 , 2 . Although metallochaperones
3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 insert the correct metal into some proteins, they have not been found for the …

The problem of force distribution in systems involving multiple frictional contacts between
actively coordinated mechanisms and passive objects is examined. The special case in which …

Inversion of the Jacobian matrix is the critical step in rate decomposition which is used to
solve the so-called “inverse kinematics” problem of robotics. This is the problem of achieving a …
