Abstract: A transverse element for a push belt for a continuously variable transmission comprises a supporting surface (16) for supporting a carrier of the push belt, and a pulley sheave contact surface (18) for contacting pulley sheaves of the continuously variable transmission. <??>A curved transition surface (17) is connected to the supporting surface (16), whereas a distance surface (41) is located between this transition surface (17) and the pulley sheave contact surface (18). The distance surface (41) is positioned lower than the supporting surface (16). When the transverse element collides with a relatively large collision element like another transverse element, protrusions may be developed exclusively on the distance surface (41). These protrusions are not capable of inflicting damage on a carrier which is to be laid on the supporting surface (16), because these protrusions do not protrude beyond the level of the supporting surface (16). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides structures of small molecules capable of modulating apoptotic cell death. More specifically, the structures relate to the structures of apoptotic active sites of mammalian alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) and albumin. Peptides mimicking the active site contain two sequences, Arg-Gly-Asp and Asp-X-X-Asp, wherein X means any amino acid. These sequences are needed in the same molecule for causing a wide range of biological activities. The peptides can be utilized to suppress apoptotic pathways by inhibiting the cytochrome c-mediated caspase activation. Thus, the peptides can be used to inhibit effects of apoptosis induced by oxidative stress, drugs, cytokines, Fas-ligand, alpha-fetoprotein, used to prevent apoptosis in culturing cells, in organ transplantation, in immunological autoimmune disorders and immunodeficiency syndrome induced by viral infection, or to diminish side cytotoxic effects after chemotherapy and radiation therapy.
