The Lassa Virus Stable Signal Peptide Undergoes a Conformational Change to Aid Viral Fusion

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Volume 31, Issue 18, March 25, 2025.
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 and Chirality: Stereoselectivity at the Core of DC‐SIGN’s Recognition. A Novel View of the Optimum Minimal Ligand Epitope

open access: yesChemistry – A European Journal, Accepted Article.
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]

open access: yesarXiv, 2016
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

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Administrative Sciences / Revue Canadienne des Sciences de l'Administration, EarlyView.
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.
