Protein memory through altered folding mediated by intramolecular chaperones
The 77-residue propeptide of subtilisin acts as an intramolecular chaperone that organizes the correct folding of its own protease domain. Similar folding mechanisms are used by several prokaryotic and eukaryo...

Optimal pacing in an assembly-based multi-stage production system
We examine periodic pacing in a multi‐stage non‐synchronous production system where production stages are distributed over various locations. The processing rates and inspection failure rates at each stage are...
