Viral Self-Assembly as a Thermodynamic Process [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2003
The protein shells, or capsids, of all sphere-like viruses adopt icosahedral symmetry. In the present paper we propose a statistical thermodynamic model for viral self-assembly. We find that icosahedral symmetry is not expected for viral capsids constructed from structurally identical protein subunits and that this symmetry requires (at least) two ...

Droplet Formation and Energy Input during Induction Wire Melting with Pulsed and Constant Generator Power

Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing
Induction heating is a fast, reproducible, and efficient heating method used in various manufacturing processes. However, there is no established additive manufacturing (AM) process based on induction heating using wire as feedstock.

Microbial Community Succession Associated with Poplar Wood Discoloration

Plants, 2022
Microbes are common inhabitants of wood, but little is known about the relationship between microbial community dynamics during wood discoloration. This study uses simulation experiments to examine the changes in the microbial communities in poplar wood ...

Deciphering the Mechanisms Shaping the Plastisphere Microbiota in Soil

mSystems, 2022
The gradual accumulation of microplastics has aroused increasing concern for the unique niche, termed “plastisphere.” As research so far has focused on their characteristics in aquatic ecosystems, our understanding of the colonization and assembly of the

Investigating transcription factor dynamics in health and disease using FRAP

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
FRAP analysis of GFP‐tagged transcription factors reveals how molecular mobility and target engagement change in response to drug treatment. By combining live‐cell imaging, quantitative model fitting, and statistical analysis, this approach uncovers transcription factor dynamics linked to disease mechanisms, providing a powerful framework for ...

Dispersal shapes compositional and functional diversity in aquatic microbial communities

mSystems
Segregation and mixing shape the structure and functioning of aquatic microbial communities, but their respective roles are challenging to disentangle in field studies.

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

The Structure, Assembly Processes of Microbial Communities and Their Effects on the Quality of Goat MEAT During Chilled Storage (4 °C)

Foods
Microbial community succession is closely related to the corruption of meat, but there are few studies on microbial community assembly and their relationship with physicochemical indexes in meat during chilled storage (4 °C).

An Assembly Process Model for Method Engineering [PDF]

, 2001
The need for a better productivity of system engineering teams, as well as a better quality of products motivates the development of solutions to adapt methods to the project situation at hand. This is known as situational method engineering. In this paper we propose a generic process model to support the construction of a new method by assembling ...

Structure‐forward targeting of claudins with synthetic binders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Claudins form the paracellular barriers between epithelial and endothelial tissues at tight junctions and are targets for molecular binders with the goal of modulating barrier permeability. Claudin‐binding molecules are relevant in drug delivery or in altering claudin interactions with disease‐causing proteins.
