Dynamical properties of a two-level atom in three variants of the two-photon q-deformed Jaynes-Cummings model

Temporal evolution of atomic properties including the population inversion and quantum fluctuations of atomic dipole variables are discussed in three various variants of two-photon q-deformed Jaynes-Cummings model.With the the field initially being in three different types of q-deformed coherent states,the quantum collapse and revival effects as well as atomic diploe squeezing are studied for both on-and off-resonant atom-field interaction. Particularly, it is shown that for nonzero detuning the atomic inversion exhibits superstructures which are absent in the non-deformed Jaynes-Cummings model and the dipole squeezing may be enhanced.Comment: 39 pages, 20 figure

Interaction of G-rich GT oligonucleotides with nuclear-associated eEF1A is correlated with their antiproliferative effect in haematopoietic human cancer cell lines.

4noG-rich GT oligonucleotides with a different content of G clusters have beenevaluated for their ability to exert cytotoxicity and to bind to nuclear-associatedproteins in T-lymphoblast CCRF-CEM cells. Only the oligomersthat did not form G-based structures or had a poor structure, under physiologicalconditions, were able to exert significant cellular growth inhibitioneffect. The cytotoxicity of these oligomers was related to their bindingto the nuclear-associated eEF1A protein, but not to the recognition ofnucleolin or other proteins. In particular, GT oligomers adopting a conformationcompatible with G-quadruplex, did not exert cytotoxicity and didnot bind to eEF1A. The overall results suggest that the ability of oligomersto adopt a G-quadruplex-type secondary structure in a physiological buffercontaining 150 mm NaCl is not a prerequisite for antiproliferative effect inhaematopoietic cancer cells. The cytotoxicity of G-rich GT oligomers wasshown to be tightly related to their binding affinity for eEF1A protein.nonemixedScaggiante, Bruna; Dapas, Barbara; Grassi, Gabriele; Manzini, GiorgioScaggiante, Bruna; Dapas, Barbara; Grassi, Gabriele; Manzini, Giorgi
