Experimental Data Confirm Carrier-Cascade Model for Solid-State Conductance across Proteins [PDF]
The finding that electronic conductance across ultra-thin protein films between metallic electrodes remains nearly constant from room temperature to just a few degrees Kelvin has posed a challenge. We show that a model based on a generalized Landauer formula explains the nearly constant conductance and predicts an Arrhenius-like dependence for low ...

Self‐Assembly of Linear, Natural Antimicrobial Peptides: An Evolutionary Perspective
Antimicrobial peptides are an ancient defence against a wide range of microbes. Some can self‐assemble into oligomers and amyloid. Similarities with neurodegenerative diseases support a hypothesis that some diseases are due to aberrant activity of a protective neuropeptide.

Generating functionalized ubiquitin building blocks via expression in E. coli paves the way to different di‐, tri‐, and tetra‐ubiquitin chains. Light‐induced thiol‐ene click reactions, combined with a masking and protection strategy, are harnessed to establish controlled ubiquitin chain assembly and to allow the semisynthesis of site‐selectively ...

Impact of Lipid Structural Variations on Bilayer Properties: A Coarse-Grained Molecular Dynamics Study [PDF]
The supramolecular assembly of lipids into bilayer membranes is essential for cellular structure and function. However, the impact of lipid structural variations such as acyl chain length, degree of unsaturation, and headgroup type on bilayer properties remains incompletely understood.

Photoswitchable cross‐linkers have the ability to connect two residues on a biomolecule, thereby causing large changes in the structure and function of the target upon irradiation. The design, synthesis and purification of cross‐linkers with large end‐to‐end distances remains challenging, especially for applications in chemical biology.

Saturated fatty acids induce insulin resistance in neurons. Neuronal metabolism of palmitic acid alters mitochondrial function. Abstract Introduction Saturated fatty acids (FAs) are the main component of high‐fat diets (HFDs), and high consumption has been associated with the development of insulin resistance, endoplasmic reticulum stress and ...

Polyether polyketides are a structurally diverse group of natural products known for their antimicrobial and antiproliferative activities. Lasalocid A is a canonical natural polyether produced by the soil bacterium Streptomyces lasalocidi. In lasalocid A biosynthesis, a polyene polyketide intermediate is converted to a bisepoxide by the flavin ...
