Structural characterization of the full-length Hantaan virus polymerase by Keown, JR, Carrique, L, Nilsson-Payant, BE, Fodor, E, Grimes, JM

“…We determine a series of structures at resolutions between 2.7 and 3.3 Å of RNA free polymerase comprising the core, core and endonuclease, and a full-length polymerase. The full-length polymerase structure depicts the location of the cap binding and C-terminal domains which are arranged in a conformation that is incompatible with transcription and in a novel conformation not observed in previous conformations of cap-snatching viral polymerases. …”

Evaluation of keratin templates on dermal regeneration of full-thickness burns by Moay, Zi Kuang

Structural and functional characterisation of the collagen binding domain of fibronectin by Millard, CJ

“…However, the presence of at least a single GlcNAc sugar residue on the second sugar chain site on 8Fn1 (N- linked to N511) is essential for full affinity binding to collagen. Direct binding of the 8Fn1-9Fn1 module pair to collagen is assessed with a short collagen peptide and the binding is monitored by NMR. …”

Cationic glycosylated block co-β-peptide acts on the cell wall of Gram-positive bacteria as anti-biofilm agents by Zhang, Kaixi, Raju, Cheerlavancha, Zhong, Wenbin, Pethe, Kevin, Gründling, Angelika, Chan-Park, Mary B.

“…Strategies to tackle antibiotic resistance as well as biofilms are urgently needed. Wall teichoic acid (WTA), a generic anionic glycopolymer present on the cell surface of many Gram-positive bacteria, has been proposed as a possible therapeutic target, but its druggability remains to be demonstrated. …”

Coupled acoustic resonator systems with novel acoustic properties by Yang, Yahui

“…The inversion symmetry of the lattice is broken by differing the heights of two resonators within a unit cell, leading to the analogue of valley Hall effect. Similar to a gapped graphene, gapless topological valley edge states are shown at a zigzag domain wall separating different domains with opposite valley Chern numbers, while an armchair domain wall hosts no gapless edge states. …”

Synthesis and application of peptidoglycan oligomers as metabolic labeling agents for bacteria by He, Jingxi

“…In the following part, mechanistic studies further supported the hypothesis of enzyme mediated metabolic labeling rather than non-specific binding to bacterial surface. The cell wall-deficient L-form strain of enterococcus showed a drastic reduction in PGO-rhodamine incorporation, and calorimetric studies further confirmed the strong binding between our PGOs and the penicillin-binding protein 1a (PBP1a). …”

Effect of post-deposition annealing on the interface electronic structures of Al2O3-Capped GaN and GaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructure by Duan, Tian Li, Pan, Ji Sheng, Ang, Diing Shenp

“…The interface electronic structures of GaN and GaN/AlGaN/GaN samples, capped with atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 and subjected to varying post-deposition annealing (PDA) temperatures, are investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Hall-effect measurement. XPS study shows a decrease in the Ga 3d and N 1s core level binding energy after a high-temperature PDA, implying a decrease of the interface defect density and the associated positive trapped-charge. …”
