Amide neighbouring-group effects in peptides: phenylalanine as relay amino acid in long-distance electron transfer [PDF]
, 2018 In nature, proteins serve as media for long‐distance electron transfer (ET) to carry out redox reactions in distant compartments. This ET occurs either by a single‐step superexchange or through a multi‐step charge hopping process, which uses side ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Liberating photoinhibition through nongenetic drainage of electrons from photosynthesis
Natural Sciences, 2021 Light is the prerequisite for photosynthesis. However, excess light flux higher than the light‐saturation point gives rise to photoinhibition or photodamage.

Death and transfiguration in static staphylococcus epidermidis cultures [PDF]
, 2014 The overwhelming majority of bacteria live in slime embedded microbial communities termed biofilms, which are typically adherent to a surface. However, when several Staphylococcus epidermidis strains were cultivated in static liquid cultures, macroscopic

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...
