However, production can be challenging, especially when using heterologous host cells such as bacteria to express and assemble recombinant mammalian proteins. The manufacturability of proteins can be hindered by low solubility, a tendency to aggregate, or inefficient purification. Tools such as in silico protein engineering and models that predict separation criteria can overcome these issues but usually require the complex shape and surface properties of proteins to be represented by a small number of quantitative numeric values known as descriptors, as similarly used to capture the features of small molecules. Here, we review the current status of protein descriptors, especially for application in quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) models. First, we describe the complexity of proteins and the properties that descriptors must accommodate. Then we introduce descriptors of shape and surface properties that quantify the global and local features of proteins. Finally, we highlight the current limitations of protein descriptors and propose strategies for the derivation of novel protein descriptors that are more informative.}, language = {en} } @article{KnoedlerRuehlEmontsetal.2019, author = {Kn{\"o}dler, Matthias and R{\"u}hl, Clemens and Emonts, Jessica and Buyel, Johannes Felix}, title = {Seasonal weather changes affect the yield and quality of recombinant proteins produced in transgenic tobacco plants in a greenhouse setting}, series = {Frontiers in Plant Science}, journal = {Frontiers in Plant Science}, number = {10}, publisher = {Frontiers Media}, address = {Lausanne}, issn = {1664-462X (online-ressource)}, doi = {10.3389/fpls.2019.01245}, pages = {13 Seiten}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Transgenic plants have the potential to produce recombinant proteins on an agricultural scale, with yields of several tons per year. The cost-effectiveness of transgenic plants increases if simple cultivation facilities such as greenhouses can be used for production. In such a setting, we expressed a novel affinity ligand based on the fluorescent protein DsRed, which we used as a carrier for the linear epitope ELDKWA from the HIV-neutralizing antibody 2F5. The DsRed-2F5-epitope (DFE) fusion protein was produced in 12 consecutive batches of transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants over the course of 2 years and was purified using a combination of blanching and immobilized metal-ion affinity chromatography (IMAC). The average purity after IMAC was 57 ± 26\% (n = 24) in terms of total soluble protein, but the average yield of pure DFE (12 mg kg-1) showed substantial variation (± 97 mg kg-1, n = 24) which correlated with seasonal changes. Specifically, we found that temperature peaks (>28°C) and intense illuminance (>45 klx h-1) were associated with lower DFE yields after purification, reflecting the loss of the epitope-containing C-terminus in up to 90\% of the product. Whereas the weather factors were of limited use to predict product yields of individual harvests conducted for each batch (spaced by 1 week), the average batch yields were well approximated by simple linear regression models using two independent variables for prediction (illuminance and plant age). Interestingly, accumulation levels determined by fluorescence analysis were not affected by weather conditions but positively correlated with plant age, suggesting that the product was still expressed at high levels, but the extreme conditions affected its stability, albeit still preserving the fluorophore function. The efficient production of intact recombinant proteins in plants may therefore require adequate climate control and shading in greenhouses or even cultivation in fully controlled indoor farms.}, language = {en} } @article{KaemperBergBegemannetal.1998, author = {K{\"a}mper, Klaus-Peter and Berg, U. and Begemann, M. and Hagemann, B.}, title = {Series production and testing of a micro motor.

This is possible due to the rather short braking distances of individual vehicles and shunting consists. The present article analyses the braking behaviour of such shunting units. For this purpose, a dedicated model is developed. It is calibrated on published results of brake tests and validated against a high-definition model for low-speed applications. Based on this model, multiple simulations are executed to obtain a Monte Carlo simulation of the resulting braking distances. Based on the distribution properties and established safety levels, the risk of exceeding certain braking distances is evaluated and maximum braking distances are derived. Together with certain parameters of the system, these can serve in the design and safety assessment of driver assistance systems and automation of these processes.}, language = {en} } @article{WilbringEnningPfaffetal.2020, author = {Wilbring, Daniela and Enning, Manfred and Pfaff, Raphael and Schmidt, Bernd}, title = {Neue Perspektiven f{\"u}r die Bahn in der Produktions- und Distributionslogistik durch Prozessautomation}, series = {ETR - Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau}, volume = {69}, journal = {ETR - Eisenbahntechnische Rundschau}, number = {3}, publisher = {DVV Mediagroup}, address = {Hamburg}, issn = {0013-2845}, pages = {15 -- 19}, year = {2020}, language = {de} } @article{EnningPfaff2017, author = {Enning, Manfred and Pfaff, Raphael}, title = {G{\"u}terwagen 4.0 - Der G{\"u}terwagen f{\"u}r das Internet der Dinge.

When welding with industrial gas welding processes such as MIG/MAG or TIG welding, distortions occur which are associated with the resulting residual stresses in the components. This paper investigates process-side influencing factors to avoid resulting residual stresses in SLM components made of 316L. The aim is to develop a strategy to build up SLM components as stress-free as possible in order to join them as profitably as possible with a downstream welding process. For this purpose, influencing parameters such as laser power, scan speed, but also scan vector length and different scan patterns are investigated with regard to their influence on residual stresses.}, language = {en} } @article{AbbasBalcBremenetal.2024, author = {Abbas, Karim and Balc, Nicolae and Bremen, Sebastian and Hedwig, Lukas}, title = {Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in rapid tooling: advancements and applications for fused filament fabrication of rubber molds}, series = {Acta Technica Napocensis}, volume = {67}, journal = {Acta Technica Napocensis}, number = {1s}, publisher = {Technical University of Cluj-Napoca}, address = {Cluj-Napoca}, issn = {1221-5872}, pages = {13 -- 22}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Establishing high-performance polymers in additive manufacturing opens up new industrial applications.
