Exploring and Exploiting Ribonuclease 1: from Protein Biochemistry to Protein Engineering by Wralstad, Evans Christian

“…RNase 1 and its bovine homologue RNase A exhibit ubiquitous expression across tissues, a catalytic efficiency within the diffusion-limited regime, and minimal substrate sequence requirements. RNase A has been a favorite model protein of biochemists for over half a century; due to the high level of sequence conservation between RNase A and RNase 1, many observations made for RNase A have corollaries for RNase 1. …”

A general and facile method for preparation of large-scale reduced graphene oxide films with controlled structures by Bi, Hengchang, Wan, Shu, Cao, Xiehong, Wu, Xing, Zhou, Yilong, Yin, Kuibo, Su, Shi, Ma, Qinglang, Sindoro, Melinda, Zhu, Jingfang, Zhang, Zhuoran, Zhang, Hua, Sun, Litao

“…Impressively, the rapid preparation of rGOF with area as large as ∼216 cm2 in only 6 h has been successfully achieved, which is significant since normally it takes several days to prepare a rGOF with small area of ∼10 cm2 by using conventional filtration method. …”

Opto-electrical bimodal recording of neural activity in awake head-restrained mice by Cobar, Luis Fernando, Kashef, Alireza, Bose, Krishnashish, Tashiro, Ayumu

“…Although opto-electrical bimodal recording is beneficial by enabling us to exploit the strength of both approaches, it has not been widely used. In this study, we devised three methods of bimodal recording from a deep brain structure in awake head-fixed mice by chronically implanting a gradient-index (GRIN) lens and electrodes. …”
