Rapid and punctuated Late Holocene recession of Siling Co, central Tibet by Shi, Xuhua, Kirby, Eric, Furlong, Kevin P., Meng, Kai, Robinson, Ruth, Lu, Haijian, Wang, Erchie

“…Here we utilize relict shoreline deposits and associated alluvial fan features around Siling Co, the largest lake in central Tibet, to reconstruct centennial-to-millennial-scale variations in lake area and volume over the Holocene. Mapping and surveying of lacustrine shorelines coupled with optically stimulated luminescence dating of associated deposits indicate protracted occupation of a highstand elevation from >8 ka to 4 ka, followed by rapid recession that was likely punctuated by several stillstands of centennial-scale duration. …”

β-Ginkgotides: Hyperdisulfide-constrained peptides from Ginkgo biloba by Wong, Ka Ho, Tan, Wei Liang, Xiao, Tianshu, Tam, James P.

“…Proteomic analysis showed β-ginkgotides contain 18‒20 amino acids, of which 16 residues form a conserved six-cysteine core with a highly clustered cysteine spacing of C‒CC‒C‒CC, an arrangement that has not been reported in cysteine-rich peptides. Disulfide mapping revealed a novel disulfide connectivity of CysI‒IV, CysII‒VI and CysIII‒V. …”

Long-term slip rate of the southern San Andreas Fault from 10Be-26Al surface exposure dating of an offset alluvial fan by Ryerson, Frederick J., Van der Woerd, Jérôme, Klinger, Yann, Sieh, Kerry, Tapponnier, Paul, Mériaux, Anne-Sophie

“…We determine the long-term slip rate of the southern San Andreas Fault in the southeastern Indio Hills using 10Be and 26Al isotopes to date an offset alluvial fan surface. Field mapping complemented with topographic data, air photos and satellite images allows precise determination of piercing points across the fault zone that are used to measure an offset of 565 ± 80 m. …”

Functional and structural studies of the flavivirus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase by Yap, Thai Leong

“…The enzymatic activity shows that the RdRp domain is less active than the full length (FL) NS5, which is also supported insights from the limited proteolysis experiments and Fab epitope mapping. The limited proteolysis results indicate that the catalytic domain RdRp protein adopts a more open and flexible conformation than the FLNS5.Antibody Fab fragments that were obtained in this study and found to recognize conformational epitope interacted more weakly with the RdRp domain compared with the FLNS5. …”
