Solvent effect on the folding dynamics and structure of E6-associated protein characterized from Ab initio protein folding simulations by Xu, Zhijun, Lazim, Raudah, Sun, Tiedong, Mei, Ye, Zhang, Dawei

“…On the basis of the close agreement between the calculated helix contents from AHBC simulations and experimental results, we observed based on the presented simulations that the two ends of the peptide may simultaneously take part in the formation of the helical structure at the early stage of folding and finally merge to form a helix with lowest backbone RMSD of about 0.9 Å in 40% 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol solution. …”

Infections diagnosed in children and young people screened for malaria in UK emergency departments: a retrospective multi-centre study by Bird, C, Hayward, GN, Turner, PJ, Wasala, D, Merrick, V, Lyttle, MD, Mullen, N, Fanshawe, TR

“…Any CYP less than 16 years presenting to a participating ED with a history of fever and travel to a malaria-endemic area between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2017 and who had a malaria screen as a part of standard care were included. Geographical risk was calculated for the most common tropical infections.…”

The role of CD1a in dengue infection by Yang, J

“…Components in sera derived from acute phase dengue patients were found to downregulate CD1a expression by moDCs which may in part be explained by IL-10. To investigate the effect of dengue infection on the function of CD1a-reactive T cells, polyclonal blood T cells from patients and controls, and CD1a-autoreactive T cells clone/lines were utilised. …”

Mobilising stone: investigating relations of materiality, movement and corporality in Holocene Saharan rock-art by Waldock, V

“…At the same time it is proposed that the herders’ relationship with their cattle was one of partnership rather than ownership, involving trans-species empathy and a valuation of animal personhood. This viewpoint is part of a broader set of animal-human relations reflecting a cosmological order that diverges from modern, Western ontological constructs. …”
