Binding of the Anti-FIV Peptide C8 to Differently Charged Membrane Models: From First Docking to Membrane Tubulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Chemistry, 2020
Gp36 is the virus envelope glycoproteins catalyzing the fusion of the feline immunodeficiency virus with the host cells. The peptide C8 is a tryptophan-rich peptide corresponding to the fragment 770W-I777 of gp36 exerting antiviral activity by binding ...

Exploring the Preparation Dependence of Crystalline 2D-Extended Ultrathin C8-BTBT-C8 Films

open access: yesACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2022
Crystalline organic semiconducting thin films from the benchmark molecule C8-BTBT-C8 were obtained using physical vapor deposition and various solution-based methods. Utilizing atomic force microscopy and X-ray spectromicroscopy, we illustrate the influence of the underlying growth mechanism and determine the highly preparation-dependent orientation of

Alkyltriphenylphosphonium Binding to Cardiolipin Triggers Oncosis in Cancer Cells

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Alkyltriphenylphosphonium, exemplified by TPP+‐C14, preferentially accumulates in mitochondria and selectively binds to cardiolipin, a key phospholipid of the inner mitochondrial membrane, causing loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, severe cellular ATP depletion, and calcium imbalance.

Mesoscale Recovery of Microglial and Neuronal Dynamics After Craniotomy Across Wide Cortex in Transgenic Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study employs longitudinal fluorescence imaging in transgenic mice to map post‐craniotomy cortical recovery. We identify distinct neuroimmune recovery phases: microglial structural inflammation peaks at ∼10 days, neuronal structural intensity peaks at ∼14 days and correlates with microglial activity, and functional network modularity is most ...

Measurements of Functional Responses in Human Primary Lung Cells as a Basis for Personalized Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2015
Background: The best investigational drug to treat cystic fibrosis (CF) patients with the most common CF-causing mutation (F508del) is VX-809 (lumacaftor) which recently succeeded in Phase III clinical trial in combination with ivacaftor.

Comparison of the properties of polyimide nanocomposite films containing functionalized-graphene and organoclay as nanofillers

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2022
Poly(amic acid) (PAA) is prepared by the reaction of dianhydride 4,4′-biphthalic anhydride and diamine bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy)phenyl]sulfone in N,N’-dimethylacetamide.

SR‐B1‐Mediated Transplacental Transfer of Hydrophobic Toxicants Disrupts Fetal Development During Barriergenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study maps the spatiotemporal distribution of hydrophobic toxicants and endogenous metabolites in the developing placenta and fetus. By integrating mass spectrometry imaging with snRNA‐seq, we identify SR‐B1 as a key transporter driving early‐gestation xenobiotic transfer and reveal a critical exposure window associated with persistent fetal ...

Predicting stable binding modes from simulated dimers of the D76N mutant of β2-microglobulin

open access: yesComputational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2021
The D76N mutant of the β2m protein is a biologically motivated model system to study protein aggregation. There is strong experimental evidence, supported by molecular simulations, that D76N populates a highly dynamic conformation (which we originally ...

Selective Conversion of Polyolefin Waste to Branched Alkanes via Methane‐Free Tandem Hydrocracking–Isomerization

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Scheme illustrating the selective conversion of plastic waste to isomerized C4‐C12 products using RuSZ1 under different reaction conditions. ABSTRACT In recent years, catalytic hydrocracking has emerged as a promising waste‐to‐feedstock solution for processing plastic waste.
