Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral

A novel method for evaluating bonding performance and mechanical properties of steel fiber concrete containing metakaolin [PDF]

مهندسی و مدیریت ساخت
In recent years, metakaolin is used in concrete to improve the short-term and long-term properties of concrete. Considering the importance of compressive strength and bonding between concrete and rebar in reinforced concrete structures, a new method for ...

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Effects of the Type of Lactic Acid Bacteria, Hot-Pressing Temperature, and Moisture Content of Fermented Bamboo Residue on the Properties of Self-bonding Common Particleboards

BioResources, 2023
Self-bonding bamboo particleboards were prepared via hot pressing of bamboo residue fermented by lactic acid bacteria. An orthogonal experiment was designed to investigate the effects of three factors (type of lactic acid bacteria used for fermentation ...

The Effect of Different Bonding Agents on the Bond Strength of Denture Teeth to Acrylic Resin

Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences
Background: Denture tooth-acrylic resin bonding strength significantly affects denture durability. Failures in this bonding can compromise both function and aesthetics. Various bonding agents have been developed to improve adhesion, but their performance

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

Bonding Strength Effects in Hydro-Mechanical Coupling Transport in Granular Porous Media by Pore-Scale Modeling

Computation, 2016
The hydro-mechanical coupling transport process of sand production is numerically investigated with special attention paid to the bonding effect between sand grains. By coupling the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and the discrete element method (DEM), we

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Influence of (111) texture on bonding strength in low-temperature bonding of nanotwinned Ag films: Experimental insights and void closure modeling

Materials & Design
Low-temperature bonding of nanotwinned (NT-) metals holds great potential for enhancing the performance and reliability of electronic interconnections. In this study, we performed low-temperature bonding of (111)-oriented nanotwinned silver (NT-Ag) films
