Data‐Driven Engineering of Thermostable Collagen‐Mimetic Peptoid Triple Helices
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Data‐driven active learning discovery of collagen‐mimetic peptoids capable of forming a thermostable collagen‐like triple helix using computational screening followed by experimental validation. ABSTRACT Collagen‐mimetic peptides (CMPs) are engineered molecules designed to replicate the triple‐helical structure of natural collagen.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Wild meat consumption in changing rural landscapes of Indonesian Borneo
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Wild meat can play a crucial role in the food system of rural communities residing near tropical forests. Yet, socio‐ecological changes across tropical landscapes are impacting the patterns and sustainability of meat consumption. To understand the prevalence, frequency and drivers of wild meat, domestic meat and fish consumption in this ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract There is rising recognition of resource‐use rights of Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) within wildlife conservation. Historically, sociocultural institutions ensured wildlife sustainability in many IPLC areas. However, the future viability of such institutions is uncertain as IPLCs change in response to external pressures and ...

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract The drivers of consumer demand for bushmeat are relatively well studied in tropical forest systems, but much less so in savanna areas. This is important because differing ecological and socio‐economic conditions lead to different factors affecting the relationship between local communities and their natural resources.

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The effect of the presence of the BAF‐binding LEM‐domain and LaminA Ig‐fold on the stability of the BAF dimer was studied qualitatively using non‐equilibrium pull simulations and quantitatively through the calculation of the potential of mean force profile along BAF–BAF separation distance.

Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Rationale In this study, we applied cross‐linking mass spectrometry (XL‐MS) to characterize the oligomeric states of a PGLa/magainin 2 mixture and gain insight into the heterodimerization previously suggested in the literature. Both peptides have shown a synergistic enhancement of activity when tested in antimicrobial assays; however, the ...
