Abstract: An adaptable luggage case includes a complete plurality of detachably connected components, including a first reduction group of components and a first reduced plurality of components that includes a second reduction group of components and second reduced plurality of components; such that the first reduced plurality of components assembles into a first reduced size luggage case, which is smaller than the adaptable luggage case; such that the second reduced plurality of components assembles into a second reduced size luggage case, which is smaller than the first reduced size luggage case.

Abstract: Methods and computing systems for generating a protein stability lookup table and a predictive model. These methods and systems are useful for predicting the thermal stability of a protein sequence and for predicting mutations that may enhance the thermal stability of a protein given its amino acid sequence and/or three dimensional structure. The protein stability lookup table and a predictive model are based on a combination and analysis of related protein sequences and, where available, protein structure data, and relative stability data from mesophilic and thermophilic organisms and experimentally determined stability changes of wild type proteins and their mutants.
