Leech blood‐meal invertebrate‐derived DNA reveals differences in Bornean mammal diversity across habitats by Drinkwater, Rosie, Jucker, Tommaso, Potter, Joshua H. T., Swinfield, Tom, Coomes, David A., Slade, Eleanor M., Gilbert, M. Thomas P., Lewis, Owen T., Bernard, Henry, Struebig, Matthew J., Clare, Elizabeth L., Rossiter, Stephen J.

“…The application of metabarcoding to environmental and invertebrate-derived DNA (eDNA and iDNA) is a new and increasingly applied method for monitoring biodiversity across a diverse range of habitats. This approach is particularly promising for sampling in the biodiverse humid tropics, where rapid land-use change for agriculture means there is a growing need to understand the conservation value of the remaining mosaic and degraded landscapes. …”

Structure and protein recognition of G-quadruplexes by Ngo, Khac Huy

“…In this study, different biophysical, biochemical, and structural techniques (CD, ITC, gel electrophoresis, enzymatic assay NMR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography) and nucleic acid/protein/peptide engineering were applied to: i) expand our understanding of G4 diversity including base stacking, interlocking, and A•G•G•G•G pentad formation; ii) study the molecular basis for G4 recognition by proteins; iii) engineer G4-binding proteins/peptides for various applications including stable cyclic peptide or engineered enzyme for G4s targeting. …”

Structural and biochemical characterisation of bacterial metallo-β-lactamases by Makena, A

“…From a medicinal chemistry point of view, the combination of biological diversity and structural similarity of MBLs presents a rather challenging task for the development of selective small molecules for inhibitors for bacterial MBLs. …”

System-level design of low-carbon structures by Fang, Demi L.

“…In a field where material choice is a predominant impression for reducing emissions, these new insights importantly affirm the prominent role of material efficiency in reducing a structural system’s emissions. While the design space of wild data includes a diverse variety of projects, leveraging a synthetic dataset computed from a bottom-up parametric model helps produce insights specific to the design problem at hand. …”

Structural insights into the dual-targeting mechanism of Nutlin-3 by Shin, Jae-Sun, Ha, Ji-Hyang, He, Fahu, Muto, Yutaka, Ryu, Kyoung-Seok, Yoon, Ho Sup, Kang, Sunghyun, Park, Sung Goo, Park, Byoung Chul, Choi, Sang-Un, Chi, Seung-Wook

“…Our results showed the universal binding of Nutlin-3 with diverse anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family proteins. Taken together with the binding data for Nutlin-3 analogs, the structural model of the Bcl-XL/Nutlin-3 complex showed that the binding mode of Nutlin-3 resembles that of the Bcl-XL/Bcl-2 inhibitors, suggesting the molecular mechanism of transcription-independent mitochondrial apoptosis by Nutlin-3. …”

Algorithmic Pluralism: A Structural Approach To Equal Opportunity by Jain, Shomik, Suriyakumar, Vinith, Creel, Kathleen, Wilson, Ashia

“…Algorithmic pluralism describes a state of affairs in which no set of algorithms severely limits access to opportunity, allowing individuals the freedom to pursue a diverse range of life paths. To argue for algorithmic pluralism, we adopt Joseph Fishkin’s theory of bottlenecks, which focuses on the structure of decision-points that determine how opportunities are allocated. …”
