Structure and Function of a Multi‐Megadalton Virus‐Like Proteolytic Dodecahedron

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Zuzalysin, a virulence metallopeptidase of the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis, is secreted as a latent, flexible ≈95‐kDa monomer. Calcium triggers cysteine‐switch activation and hierarchical assembly into pentamers, bipentamers, tripentamers, and a ≈5.6‐MDa, ≈355‐Å dodecahedron. Structures at 1.8–3.6 Å reveal a virus‐sized catalytic cage

pH‐Driven Actuation of Unmodified DNA Origami Rectangles

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Unmodified DNA origami rectangles exhibit a reversible transition between planar and tubular states driven by near‐neutral pH changes. This behavior arises from crossover‐mediated mechanical coupling of overwound DNA and extends to dimers and nanoribbons, enabling the formation of nanotube architectures without added motifs or chemical modification ...

Community assembly of saproxylic beetles in old-growth forest and recently burnt forest

, 2015
Community assembly is the trajectory exhibited over time regarding species composition and community structure as species colonize an empty patch. Chase (2007) distinguish two basic types of assembly where a niche-assembled community is constrained by ...

Activation of Metal Complexes With Ultrasound Waves for Targeted Anticancer Therapy

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Ultrasound enables non‐invasive activation of metal‐based therapeutics deep within tumors. Acoustic cavitation can drive sonodynamic reactive oxygen species generation or mechanochemical metal–ligand bond dissociation, enabling controlled release of bioactive payloads.
