A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This focuses on:</p> <p>Recommendations for the efficient collection of Laue neutron data, in order to optimise the data set completeness and awarded beam-time; strategic considerations for how to best answer the scientific question(s) at hand in a Laue neutron experiment, whilst planning against future contingencies; improving methods for crystal packing and shipping, particularly for air and moisture sensitive materials; discussing issues arising from ice forming on the crystal during a Laue neutron diffraction experiment, and methods for minimising this problem; more effectively modelling disorder using ring shapes, in the crystallographic refinement package CRYSTALS; providing rationale for Laue neutron specific checkCIF comments.…”

Developing small molecule ligands for the study of bromodomain-histone interactions by Brand, M

“…The stability of the dihydroquinaxolinone headgroup was optimised by ring size expansion, which maintained CREBBP affinity and binding mode – the latter of which was confirmed by X-Ray crystallography. …”

Resolution of proteotoxic stress in the endoplasmic reticulum by ubiquitin ligase complexes by Lari, F

“…ER-associated degradation (ERAD) oversees protein folding and delivers misfolded proteins for degradation by the proteasome via ubiquitin conjugation mediated by RING-type E3 ubiquitin ligases. An intact ERAD is crucial to cellular homeostasis, as unresolved protein imbalances cause ER stress that ultimately lead to apoptosis. …”
