We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

A Density Functional Theory for the Average Electron Energy [PDF]
A formally exact density functional theory (DFT) determination of the average electron energy is presented. Our theory, which is based on a different accounting of energy functional terms, partially solves one well known downside of conventional Kohn ...

Density functional theory calculations of point defects and hydrogen isotopes in Li4SiO4
The Li4SiO4 is a promising breeder material for future fusion reactors. Radiation induced vacancies and hydrogen isotope related impurities are the major types of point defects in this breeder material.

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Recent density functional theory model calculations of drug metabolism by cytochrome P450
Cytochrome P450 (P450) enzymes are the major catalysts involved in the oxidative metabolism of most drugs, steroids, carcinogens, and other chemicals. They catalyze a variety of reactions and convert chemicals to potentially reactive products as well as ...

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Density functional calculations of La(H2O)103+ and Mg(H2O)62+ adsorption on kaolinite surfaces
Ion-type rare earth ore is a crucial category of strategic mineral resources in China. Rare earth elements in these ores are adsorbed on the surface of clay minerals (such as kaolinite) in the form of ion hydrate.

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an
