Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…We also mapped the binding interfaces of ZαADAR1 to Z-DNA, Z-RNA and E.coli ribosomes, and found them to be identical. Based on this finding, we proposed that the role of ZαADAR1 in binding to ribosomes and inhibiting translation is to recognize potentially Z-forming structures and/or induce localized structural transitions from A- to Z-conformations in ribosomal RNA. …”

Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…To further investigate the interaction surface, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy was used, more specifically double electron-electron resonance, to complement the previously acquired data with cysteine-residue-dependent distance measurements using nitroxide spin labels. The findings on dimerisation are presented in chapter 5.…”

PDMS-coated porous PVDF hollow fiber membranes for efficient recovery of dissolved biomethane from anaerobic effluents by Sethunga, Godakooru Sethunga Mudiyanselage Dilhara Prebhashwari, Karahan, Huseyin Enis, Wang, Rong, Bae, Tae-Hyun

“…The adjustment of the concentration of PDMS precursor mix could effectively serve for tuning the performance characteristics of MC membranes and helped suppress membrane wetting, a major performance-reducing factor. Despite their denser skin layers, the lumen-modified membranes demonstrated superior dCH4 recovery flux. …”

Dissecting the structure-compaction-performance relationship of thin-film composite polyamide membranes with different structure features by Zhao, Yali, Lai, Gwo Sung, Chong, Jeng Yi, Wang, Rong

“…On the other hand, the TFC membrane with a PA layer of low protuberances formed atop a loose substrate showed a greater decrease (∼18.5%) in water permeability. The densified skin layer and collapsed macro-voids within the loose substrate resulted in a ∼40% decrease in the overall height of the PA layer and a 65% decline in substrate surface porosity, respectively, which are identified as the reasons for the reducing water permeability. …”

Fabrication of organic solvent nanofiltration membranes with graphene oxide - enhanced covalent organic framework via interfacial polymerization by Oor, Jia Zheng, Ong, Chi Siang, Tan, Yong Zen, Chew, Jia Wei

“…Unfortunately, the common thin film composite (TFC) - based organic solvent nanofiltration membranes often give low solvent permeance due to the dense skin layer atop the substrate. To address this, we fabricated a covalent organic framework (COF) - incorporated TFC membrane through the in-situ formation of benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxaldehyde (TFB) and graphene oxide (GO) in p-Cymene, a less toxic solvent, with p-Phenylenediamine (PPD) in aqueous phase via interfacial polymerization. …”

A tight polyethersulfone ultrafiltration membrane fabricated via polyion complex assisted phase inversion for dye desalination by Zhao, Yali, Liao, Yuan, Lai, Gwo Sung, Yin, Yurong, Wang, Rong

“…Morphology, chemical composition, surface charges and pore size analysis characterized via SEM, FTIR, XPS, Zeta potential and Dextran filtration experiment, respectively, testified that a nonporous skin layer comprising of polyion complex and enriched SPSF was successfully constructed on the top of the PES matrix with an effective pore radius of 1.44 nm, which is smaller than that of the reference membrane prepared without using polyion complex assisted phase inversion (2.74 nm). …”
