Molecular dynamics study on the mechanism of high-fidelity CRISPR-Cas9 system by Liu, Zhehui

“…Our simulation results suggested that HF-SpCas9 would have a more rigid recognition lobe and a more opened conformation between the catalytically active site and the target scissile phosphates. And the mutant systems also have demonstrated a weaker binding energy between Cas9 protein and gRNA:dsDNA complex. …”

Night flight facilitates late breeding catch-up in a long-distance migratory seabird by Siddiqi-Davies, K, Wynn, J, Padget, O, Bond, S, Danielsen, J, Fayet, AL, Fisher-Reeves, L, Freeman, R, Gillies, N, Kirk, H, Maurice, L, Morgan, G, Syposz, M, Shoji, A, Guilford, T

“…Long-distance migrants must optimise their timing of breeding to capitalise on resources at both breeding and over-wintering sites. In species with protracted breeding seasons, departing earlier on migration might be advantageous, but is constrained by the ongoing breeding attempt. …”

Structural dynamics of the ubiquitin specific protease UPS30 in complex with a cyanopyrrolidine-containing covalent inhibitor by O’Brien, DP, Jones, HBL, Shi, Y, Guenther, F, Vendrell, I, Viner, R, Brennan, PE, Mead, E, Zarganes-Tzitzikas, T, Davis, JB, Pinto-Fernández, A, England, KS, Murphy, EJ, Turnbull, AP, Kessler, BM

“…A comparison to a non-covalent USP30 inhibitor containing a benzosulfonamide scaffold revealed a slightly different binding mode closer to the active site Cys77, which may provide the molecular basis for improved selectivity towards USP30 against other members of the DUB enzyme family. …”

Prehistoric foragers and farmers in South-east Asia: Renewed investigations at Niah Cave, Sarawak by Barker, G, Barton, H, Beavitt, P, Bird, M, Daly, P, Doherty, C, Gilbertson, D, Hunt, C, Krigbaum, J, Lewis, H, Manser, J, McClaren, S, Paz, V, Piper, P, Pyatt, B, Rabett, R, Reynolds, T, Rose, J, Rushworth, G, Stephens, M

“…The critical importance of the Niah stratigraphies was commonly identified – including by Tom Harrisson himself – as because the site provided a continuous sequence of occupation over the past 40,000 years. …”

Predicting airway immune responses and protection from immune parameters in blood following immunization in a pig influenza model by Gubbins, S, Paudyal, B, Dema, B, Vats, A, Ulaszewska, M, Vatzia, E, Tchilian, E, Gilbert, SC

“…Although mucosally administered vaccines have the potential to induce more protective immune response at the site of viral infection, quantitating such immune responses in large scale clinical trials and developing correlates of protection is challenging. …”

A clinical perspective on muscle specific kinase antibody positive myasthenia gravis by Keritam, O, Vincent, A, Zimprich, F, Cetin, H

“…MuSK-IgG4 are monovalent and block the binding site for LRP4 on MuSK, thereby inhibiting the downstream phosphorylation pathway and compromising the formation of AChR clusters. …”

New insights into transparent exopolymer particles (TEP) formation from precursor materials at various Na+/Ca2+ ratios by Meng, Shujuan, Liu, Yu

“…We found that the formation of TEP from precursor materials studied was essentially determined by the Ca2+ concentration at a fixed sodium concentration, while Na+ at high Na+/Ca2+ ratio out-competed Ca2+ for the binding sites on the precursor molecules, leading to a significantly decreased trend of TEP formation. …”
