This article highlights that growing environmental and safety concerns, abetted by technology changes, are fueling a resurgence of water as a power transfer medium in hydraulics, where for years oil has been the fluid of choice. The shift has been gradual, but steady, after starting five years ago or more in Europe.

A peculiar behaviour of liquid jet impact [PDF]
Coalescent masses of fluid, formed upon liquid jet impact, should exhibit either dripping or jetting regardless of the distance between the nozzles. The study reveals that above a certain flow rate, by increasing this distance, the coalescent mass enters

The field of antigen processing and presentation has taken tremendous strides since the first international workshop in 1995. While much has been learned, much remains to be discovered. Here I discuss the most recent findings regarding the nature of substrates for the MHC class I antigen processing pathways which provide glimpses of the mist shrouded ...

Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
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.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...
