Protein structure-based design of potent orally bioavailable, nonpeptide inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus protease.

A class of potent nonpeptidic inhibitors of human immunodeficiency virus protease has been designed by using the three-dimensional structure of the enzyme as a guide. By employing iterative protein cocrystal structure analysis, design, and synthesis the binding affinity of the lead compound was incrementally improved by over four orders of magnitude. An inversion in inhibitor binding mode was observed crystallographically, providing information critical for subsequent design and highlighting the utility of structural feedback in inhibitor optimization. These inhibitors are selective for the viral protease enzyme, possess good antiviral activity, and are orally available in three species.

Malestar sí, pero en la cultura

Este trabajo rinde tributo al esfuerzo de Freud por conocer la naturaleza humana, a la vez que vuelve la mirada sobre una línea intelectual sospechosamente semi-olvidada o quizás semi-escondida, el freudomarxismo. Siguiendo las huellas de un concepto capital en la obra de Freud, el concepto de represión, trataré de explicar de qué manera el caudal de la obra freudiana se canaliza en direcciones distintas entre los autores más prototípicos del freudomarxismo (Reich, Fromm y Marcuse) para elaborar teorías sobre la cultura y la sociedad contemporáneas.

El discurso antisemita en España (1936-1948)

Si bien es posible establecer un hilo de continuidad con los discursos y las actitudes antisemitas de la España de los siglos XV y XVI, fechas en las que la agresividad contra los judíos alcanza sus cotas más elevadas (no sólo por la expulsión colectiva de las comunidades hebreas en 1492, sino por la actuación represiva desplegada por la Iglesia Católica y la Monarquía, esto es, por la Inquisición y el nuevo Estado unificado tras la unión de las coronas de Aragón y Castilla y la conquista del último enclave musulmán en la Península), lo cierto es que la participación de nuestro país en el proyecto político alemán que culminó con la aniquilación de más de cinco millones de judíos europeos fue solamente tangencial. Tenía razón el embajador israelí ante las Naciones Unidas, Abba Eban, cuando tomó la palabra el 16 de mayo de 1949 para explicar por qué el recién creado Estado de Israel no aceptaría al régimen de Franco en la comunidad internacional. Eban reconoció que España no tomó parte “directamente” en la política de exterminio llevada a cabo por Alemania con la colaboración de otros Estados europeos, pero su alineamiento ideológico con el Tercer Reich “contribuyó a la eficacia” de los objetivos que se proponía: hacer de una Europa bajo domino germano, un espacio “libre de judíos”. Quizá porque España, o al menos de ello presumían las autoridades del nuevo Estado franquista, como lo habían hecho, si bien con bastante más prudencia política, las republicanas en los años 30, ya era un país sin judíos. Efectivamente. Según las estimaciones aceptadas por la mayor parte de los historiadores en base a un censo elaborado en 1933, la comunidad judía en España no estaba compuesta por más de 6.000 personas, muchas de las cuáles decidieron emigrar al comienzo de la Guerra Civil. Y esa ausencia de judíos será la que determine no sólo la actuación política del régimen en los años de mayor persecución contra ellos en el continente, sino el discurso propagandístico que hacía del antisemitismo un punto de encuentro ideológico entre el nuevo Estado franquista y los Estados totalitarios consolidados en Europa en el período de entreguerras...

“WIE HAST DU’S MIT DER RELIGION?” RELIGIONSTHEORIE UND -KRITIK NACH STIRNER

Schon vor Friedrich Nietzsche hat Max Stirner mit großem Gestus den Tod Gottes herausgeschrie(b)en und den Schleier des Geisterreiches hinweg gezogen. Religionskritik nach Stirner, die einer abgeklärten Aufklärung folgt, kann danach eigentlich nur zweierlei: Zum einen erklären, wie Der Mensch sich seine Religion und seine Götter erschafft (hat): das erledigt Gunnar Heinsohn. Und zum Zweiten aufzuzeigen: Welche funktionalen Äquivalente sich im Religiösen dem Menschen auftun – frei nach Feuerbach: Die Wahrheit der Religion ist das Bedürfnis nach ihr. Das freie Stirnersche Ich, das rational um die Nichtexistenz Gottes weiß, wählt sich seinen je eigenen Gott oder, ist es stark genug, kann es auch lassen.

The Berlin Republic. Evolution of Germany's politics of memory and German patriotism. OSW Point of View, August 2009

Important changes have occurred in recent years in the attitude of a majority of the German elite towards the history of the 20th century and the political identity built on collective memory. Until recently, the sense of guilt for the crimes of the Third Reich and the obligation to remember were prevalent. While these two elements of Germany's memory of World War II are still important, currently the focus increasingly shifts to the German resistance against Nazism and the fate of the Germans who suffered in the war. Positive references to Germany's post-war history also occupy more and more space in the German memory. In 2009, i.e. the year of the 60th anniversary of the Federal Republic of Germany and the 20th anniversary of the fall of Communism, the efforts of German public institutions concentrate on promoting a new canon of history built around the successful democratisation and Germany's post-war economic success. The purpose behind these measures is to build a common historical memory that could be shared by the eastern and western parts of Germany and appeal to Germany's immigrants, who account for a growing proportion of the society.

Global assessment of soil phosphorus retention potential

Limited availability of P in soils to crops may be due to deficiency and/or severe P retention. Earlier studies that drew on large soil profile databases have indicated that it is not (yet) feasible to present meaningful values for "plant-available" soil P, obtained according to comparable analytical methods, that may be linked to soil geographical databases derived from 1:5 million scale FAO Digital Soil Map of the World, such as the 5 x 5 arc-minute version of the ISRIC-WISE database. Therefore, an alternative solution for studying possible crop responses to fertilizer-P applied to soils, at a broad scale, was sought. The approach described in this report considers the inherent capacity of soils to retain phosphorus (P retention), in various forms. Main controlling factors of P retention processes, at the broad scale under consideration, are considered to be pH, soil mineralogy, and clay content. First, derived values for these properties were used to rate the inferred capacity for P retention of the component soil units of each map unit (or grid cell) using four classes (i.e., Low, Moderate, High, and Very High). Subsequently, the overall soil phosphorus retention potential was assessed for each mapping unit, taking into account the P-ratings and relative proportion of each component soil unit. Each P retention class has been assigned to a likely fertilizer P recovery fraction, derived from the literature, thereby permitting spatially more detailed, integrated model-based studies of environmental sustainability and agricultural production at the global and continental level (< 1:5 million). Nonetheless, uncertainties remain high; the present analysis provides an approximation of world soil phosphorus retention potential.

(Table 2) Biostratigraphy of marine benthic and planktonic taxa in sediment core GIK14350 near Dagebüll, northern Germany

Together with foraminifers and ostracods, echinoderm remains are very frequent in Eemian sediments of the Dagebuell Well DA-1. The appearance of holothurian sclerites is particularly noteworthy. In the present study, remains of Holothuroidea from the European Pleistocene are described. These remains could be assigned to the Recent genus Psolus OKEN 1815. Furthermore, a short synopsis of disarticulate holothurian fossils in Holocene and Pleistocene sediments is given.
