The paper presents new possibilities in the manufacture of add-on armour for military equipment (vehicles, helicopters or stationary objects) developed recently by the LUBAWA SA group. The dynamic development of these capabilities is based on new or upgraded equipment and production lines and on substantive support from the Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, Division of Light Metals (IMN OML) in the area of technologically advanced materials. The paper presents technical parameters and manufacturing capabilities of special materials based on aramid and polyethylene fibres and on chemically or thermally cured materials such as polyester resins, elastomers, etc. Materials based on light metal alloys, on the development of which IMN OML has been working for a number of years, are discussed. The possibilities of prefabrication and manufacture of finished modules of add-on armour designed for mobile and stationary equipment for military and special civilian purposes are described in the summary.

One of the proteolytic pathways existing in a cell is ubiquitin- proteasome system (UPS). This highly organized and ATP-dependent system is based on the multifunctional enzyme – the proteasome. Ubiquitin in this pathway plays a role of a tag which marks proteins intended for destruction. Ubiquitylated proteins are recognized and degraded by the 26S proteasome. It consists of a cylindrical-shaped proteolytic core – the proteasome 20S, and attached to it regulatory particles 19S (Fig. 2). The core is composed of four rings, each of them formed by seven subunits. The inner â-rings harbour active sites (in Eukaryota two of each kind: chymotrypsin-like (ChT-L), trypsin-like (T-L) and peptidylglutamyl (PGPH)). The outer, á-rings create a gated channel leading to the catalytic chamber [8]. In a latent proteasome the gate is closed by tightly packed N-terminal residues of á subunits (Fig. 4). Due to such architecture the active sites of the proteasome are not freely available for the substrates. An opening of the gate in physiological conditions occurs after binding the activators such as 11S, 19S or PA200. By catalysing degradation of proteins, the UPS is deeply involved in regulation of cellular physiology. It is also involved in removing of misfolded or damaged proteins and supports the immune system by generating antigenic peptides. Defects in functioning of this proteolytic system play a causal role in the development of a number of diseases, including inflammation, neurodegenerative diseases and various cancers [2–6] what is the reason why the proteasome has become an important therapeutic target. Detailed information about the structure, catalytic activities and mechanisms of functioning of the different proteasome complexes existing in cells is essential to understand their role in organisms as well as to develop new compounds which may find pharmaceutical application.
