Discovery of a Novel Member of the Carlavirus Genus from Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.)
A novel member of the Carlavirus genus, provisionally named soybean carlavirus 1 (SCV1), was discovered by RNA-seq analysis of randomly collected soybean leaves in Illinois, USA.

Distances and classification of amino acids for different protein secondary structures [PDF]
Window profiles of amino acids in protein sequences are taken as a description of the amino acid environment. The relative entropy or Kullback-Leibler distance derived from profiles is used as a measure of dissimilarity for comparison of amino acids and secondary structure conformations.

Three classes of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes
Current knowledge distinguishes three classes of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes as based on protein sequence similarity. These three protein sequence clusters hydroxylate three types of substrate atoms and use three different forms of iron for ...

SERS discrimination of single amino acid residue in single peptide by plasmonic nanocavities [PDF]
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a sensitive label-free optical method that can provide fingerprint Raman spectra of biomolecules such as DNA, amino acids and proteins. While SERS of single DNA molecule has been recently demonstrated, Raman analysis of single protein sequence was not possible because the SERS spectra of proteins are ...

DPST: De Novo Peptide Sequencing with Amino-Acid-Aware Transformers [PDF]
De novo peptide sequencing aims to recover amino acid sequences of a peptide from tandem mass spectrometry (MS) data. Existing approaches for de novo analysis enumerate MS evidence for all amino acid classes during inference. It leads to over-trimming on receptive fields of MS data and restricts MS evidence associated with following undecoded amino ...

Isolation and Identification of a Novel Phlebovirus, Hedi Virus, from Sandflies Collected in China
We report the isolation of a newly recognized phlebovirus, Hedi virus (HEDV), from Phlebotomus chinensis sandflies collected in Shanxi Province, China. The virus’ RNA is comprised of three segments.

Local sequence-structure relationships in proteins [PDF]
We seek to understand the interplay between amino acid sequence and local structure in proteins. Are some amino acids unique in their ability to fit harmoniously into certain local structures? What is the role of sequence in sculpting the putative native state folds from myriad possible conformations?
