The Lassa Virus Stable Signal Peptide Undergoes a Conformational Change to Aid Viral Fusion
The unique stable signal peptide (SSP) of the Lassa virus glycoprotein complex undergoes a conformational change during pH‐dependent viral fusion. This revels a potential mechanism by which the enigmatic SSP influences the fusion process through interactions it makes with the fusion protein, glycoprotein 2 (GP2).

Glycans exhibit an unparalleled density of stereochemical information, encoded at the monosaccharide level through multiple stereogenic centers, anomeric configurations, ring tautomerism, and conformational variability. Indeed, chiral recognition is fundamental to the interaction between glycans and proteins.

Sequential Monte Carlo Filtering Estimation of Ebola Progression in West Africa [PDF]
We use a multivariate formulation of sequential Monte Carlo filter that utilizes mechanistic models for Ebola virus propagation and available incidence data to simultaneously estimate the disease progression states and the model parameters. This method has the advantage of performing the inference online as the new data becomes available and estimates ...

Corporate governance and the early disclosure of systematic risk
Abstract Motivated by the need to understand firm characteristics associated with the disclosure of unexpected and unusual systematic risks, caused by events over which managers have little control, we examine the association between corporate governance and the early disclosure of such risks.
