The Temperature Dependence of Hydrogen Bonds Is More Uniform in Stable Proteins: An Analysis of NMR h3JNC′ Couplings in Four Different Protein Structures by Alexandrescu, Andrei T., Dregni, Aurelio J.

“…For P22i and CUS-3i, hydrogen bonds detected by NMR agree with those observed in the corresponding domains from cryoEM structures of the two phages. Hydrogen bond lengths derived from the h3JNC′ couplings, however, are poorly conserved between the distantly related CUS-3i and P22i domains and show differences even between the closely related cis and trans state structures of HlyIIC. …”

Wideband circularly polarized metasurface backed aperture antenna by Agarwal, Kush

“…The octagonal-aperture antenna with three different reflector surfaces: single and double layered meta-surface and planar metal surface was designed and optimized using CST MWS EM software. All three antennas were then fabricated on a low cost FR4 substrate and measurements were taken. …”

Structural and functional characterisation of chikungunya virus replication complex dynamics by Tan, Yaw Bia

“…Recombinant CHIKV RC bound to its binding partners, such as 3’ untranslated region (UTR) region of viral RNA, was reconstituted in vitro for its macromolecular 3D modelling and analysis through Electron Microscopy (EM). A quick and convenient bacterial cell-based luciferase system to study the CHIKV replication dynamics was established. …”

The influence of polarisation on the behaviour of anions within ion channels and nanopores by Phan, LX

“…Furthermore, we demonstrate how polarisable simulations can aid the interpretation of ambiguous structural densities from cryo-EM and inform the functional annotation of ion channels. …”

Understanding the molecular mechanism of ion and amino acid transport in neurons by Baroniņa, A

“…To study the basis of substrate selectivity in the SLC1 family, I solved two structures of EAAT3 at 3.3 Å resolution with bound inhibitors using the cryo-EM method. I report two novel inhibitor binding modes, expanding the current knowledge of the substrate binding site and how small molecules inhibitors interact with this site within the SLC1 family. …”

Ultra-thin oxide films by Hu, X

“…Various sizes have been found, and sides of these equilateral triangles all show a double-line feature aligned along the 〈 1 ^ˉ<sub style="position: relative; left: -.4em;">1</sub> 0〉 directions of the Au(111) lattice. …”

The effect of temperature on permittivity measurements of aqueous solutions of glucose for the development of non-invasive glucose sensors based on electromagnetic waves by Jayanthi, Renu, Virdee, Bal Singh, Lubangakene, Innocent, Ganguly, Priyanka, Mariyanayagam, Dion

“…Since human glucose levels in the blood vary in the range of a few milligrams per decilitre, estimating such small variations of glucose will require a highly accurate and repeatable sensing technology. Electromagnetic (EM) waves, specifically in the microwave and terahertz frequency ranges, have shown promise in detecting changes in the electrical properties of blood plasma as they relate to glucose concentration. …”

Correlative light and electron microscopy of telomeric repeat-binding factor 1 in mammalian cells by von Otter, Eric

“…In order to selectively visualize telomeric chromatin by CLEM, a TRF1 construct containing both eGFP and APEX2 tags was generated. EM analysis of cell sections shows that telomeres have a median diameter of 156 nm and 196 nm in HT1080 and MEFs, respectively. …”
