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. …”

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. …”

Use of ladle furnace slag containing heavy metals as a binding material in civil engineering by Xu, Bo, Yi, Yaolin

“…This indicates that LS-GGBS can be potentially used as a binding material in civil engineering. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that the Ca(OH)2 in LS acted as the main activator for GGBS hydration; the MgO and CaCO3 in LS seemed to play similar roles as that of the Ca(OH)2. …”
