Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

Study on peristaltic continuous mixing conveyor for composite propellant slurry mixing

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2017
In recent years, the demand for rocket launching has increased due to the development of space technology. However, using inexpensive rockets is not always possible.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Mechanical Properties of Composite Solid Propellant with Initial Defects

Journal of Aeronautical Materials, 2018
To study the mechanical properties of composite solid propellant with initial interface defects, the mesoscopic structure model for HTPB (hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene) propellant was established based on the periodicity assumption and molecular ...

Combustion behavior of end-sealed nitroamine propellant by photocurable composite deterrents

FirePhysChem, 2023
In this work, energetic composite composed of UV curable polyurethane acrylate and RDX was used as deterrent coating for 19-perforated nitroamine propellants plasticized by nitroglycerin and 1, 5-diazido-3-nitrazpentane (DIANP). The nitroamine propellant

The ubiquitin system in normal and infected germinal center B cells

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The ubiquitin system plays a central role in germinal center (GC) B cells, influencing differentiation to long‐lived memory B cells. Oncogenic gammaherpesviruses gain access to memory B cells by establishing latency in GC B cells. Mapping ubiquitin mechanisms in normal and infected GC B cells will define specific molecular circuits in B cells germane ...

Circulating microRNA signatures of cachexia and cancer in Canis familiaris as a comparative oncology model for human disease

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of cachexia and sex‐specific cancer in senior dogs. In 25 client‐owned dogs, four circulating miRNAs (miR‐15a, miR‐15b, miR‐16, miR‐140) were downregulated in cachexia, with miR‐16 the strongest individual biomarker (AUC = 0.899).

Using the Impulse Method to Determine High-Pressure Dynamic Burning Rate of Solid Propellants

Aerospace, 2023
A new method for determining the burning rate of a solid propellant, called the Impulse Method, is proposed in this paper. It is based on the proportional relationship between the impulse generated and the mass of the burned propellant. The pressure–time

From patient advocacy to patient‐driven research: Building active partnerships beginning at the bench to reach the bedside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Research is strongest when conducted alongside patients, not just about them. Patient research organizations help integrate patient perspectives into research priorities, study design, and scientific meetings, leading to meaningful patient outcomes and development of relevant therapies.
