Design and development

LAK-17bt fuselage and engine

The LAK-17 is designed to meet the requirements of the utility category of JAR-22.[1] It is a single-seat mid-wing sailplane of composite construction with a T-tail and flaps, it has a retractable single-wheel main landing gear and has airbrakes on the upper wing surface.[1] The airfoil is a combination of the LAP92-130/15, at its roots, and the LAP-92-150/15, at its tips.[2] The LAK-17 holds water ballast in tanks in the wing and fin.[1] The LAK-17A was certified in November 1994 by the Lithuanian Civil Aviation Authority.[1] A new variant with an improved wing was designated the LAK-17B.[3] All variants have a 15.00 m (49.21 ft) wingspan but a wing with span increased to 18.00 m (59.06 ft) is available as an option; powered self-sustaining versions are also produced.[1][3]

An optional front electric sustainer engine variant was developed for the LAK-17 by Slovenian engineers at LZ Design. It originally had a 0.9 metre propeller, and the latest versions have a 1.0 metre propeller in the nose driven by an electric motor.[4][5]

Protein dynamics

Proteins are generally thought to adopt unique structures determined by their amino acid sequences. However, proteins are not strictly static objects, but rather populate ensembles of (sometimes similar) conformations. Transitions between these states occur on a variety of length scales (tenths of Å to nm) and time scales (ns to s), and have been linked to functionally relevant phenomena such as allosteric signaling[1] and enzyme catalysis.[2] The study of protein dynamics is...
