Influence of Josephson current second harmonic on stability of magnetic flux in long junctions
We study the long Josephson junction (LJJ) model which takes into account the
second harmonic of the Fourier expansion of Josephson current. The dependence
of the static magnetic flux distributions on parameters of the model are
investigated numerically. Stability of the static solutions is checked by the
sign of the smallest eigenvalue of the associated Sturm-Liouville problem. New
solutions which do not exist in the traditional model, have been found.
Investigation of the influence of second harmonic on the stability of magnetic
flux distributions for main solutions is performed.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, to be published in Proc. of Dubna-Nano2010, July

Engineering of cyclodextrin glucanotransferases and the impact for biotechnological applications
Cyclodextrin glucanotransferases (CGTases) are industrially important enzymes that produce cyclic α-(1,4)-linked oligosaccharides (cyclodextrins) from starch. Cyclodextrin glucanotransferases are also applied as catalysts in the synthesis of glycosylated molecules and can act as antistaling agents in the baking industry. To improve the performance of CGTases in these various applications, protein engineers are screening for CGTase variants with higher product yields, improved CD size specificity, etc. In this review, we focus on the strategies employed in obtaining CGTases with new or enhanced enzymatic capabilities by searching for new enzymes and improving existing enzymatic activities via protein engineering
