Crystal structure of the FK506 binding domain of plasmodium falciparum FKBP35 in complex with FK506 by Kotaka, Masayo, Ye, Hong, Alag, Reema, Hu, Guangan, Bozdech, Zbynek, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Yoon, Ho Sup, Lescar, Julien

“…Compared to the human FKBP12−FK506 complex reported earlier, the structure reveals structural differences in the β5−β6 segment that lines the FK506 binding site. The presence in PfFKBD of Cys-106 and Ser-109 (substituting for His-87 and Ile-90, respectively, in human FKBP12), which are 4−5 Å from the nearest atom of the FK506 compound, suggests possible routes for the rational design of analogues of FK506 with specific antiparasitic activity. …”

Antifungal efficacy of kenaf seed peptides mixture in cheese, safety assessment and unravelling its action mechanism against food spoilage fungi by Arulrajah, Brisha, Qoms, Mohammed S., Muhialdin, Belal J., Zarei, Mohammad, Hussin, Anis Shobirin Meor, Hasan, Hanan, Chau, De-Ming, Ramasamy, Rajesh, Saari, Nazamid

“…The safety assessment showed that KSPM maintained the proliferation of normal cell lines up to 30 mg/mL. The cell surface potential energy and hydrophobicity of fungi were altered due to the potent interactions between the peptides and the cell envelope, with KSPM causing significant fungal cell wall permeability and subsequent disruption of the cytoplasmic membrane integrity. …”

Combining laser frequency combs and iodine cell calibration techniques for Doppler detection of exoplanets by Cahoy, K., Fischer, D., Spronck, J., Demille, D.

“…We propose a fiber-fed high precision spectrograph design that combines the existing ~5000-6000 A Iodine calibration system with a high-precision Laser Frequency Comb (LFC) system from ~6000-7000 A that just meets the redward side of the Iodine lines. The scientific motivation for such a system includes: a 1000 A span in the red is currently achievable with LFC systems, combining the two calibration methods increases the wavelength range by a factor of two, and moving redward decreases the 'noise' from starspots. …”

Sequence-Dependent & -Independent Effects of Intron-Mediated Enhancement (IME) by Kowal, Emma J. K.

“…In this study we report the design and execution of several massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs), interrogating the effect of tens of thousands of synthetic and natural intron sequences on gene expression in the human HEK293T and HeLa cell lines. We observe that even with random internal sequence, most of these introns splice well and trigger IME. …”
