Structural and magnetic interplay in multiferroic Ho₀.₅Nd₀.₅Fe₃(BO₃)₄ by Tripathy, A., Gautam, K., Dey, K., Sahu, S. R., Ahad, A., Upadhyay, A., Sagdeo, A., Francoual, S., Bereciartua, P. J., Gudim, I., Strempfer, J., Sathe, V. G., Shukla, D. K.

“…Rare-earth iron borates, RFe3(BO3)4 (R = rare earth), are of considerable interest because of their structural and magnetic complexities due to the involvement of both 3d and 4f magnetic interactions in a helical lattice. Among them Ho0.5Nd0.5Fe3(BO3)4 has attracted the most attention, as it exhibits a multiferroic property with a large, spontaneous, and magnetic-field-induced electric polarization (P) below the antiferromagnetic transition temperature (TN∼32 K). …”

Structures of Mycobacterium smegmatis 70S ribosomes in complex with HPF, tmRNA, and P-tRNA by Mishra, Satabdi, Ahmed, Tofayel, Tyagi, Anu, Shi, Jian, Bhushan, Shashi

“…Here, we present single particle cryo-EM reconstructions of the Mycobacterium smegmatis 70S ribosomes in the hibernating state (with HPF), trans-translating state (with tmRNA), and the P/P state (with P-tRNA) resolved to 4.1, 12.5, and 3.4 Å, respectively. A comparison of the P/P state with the hibernating state provides possible functional insights about the Mycobacteria-specific helix H54a rRNA segment. …”
