Molecular Basis of NPY Recognition and Ligand Selectivity at the Neuropeptide Y5 Receptor
Here, we present the first active structure of the neuropeptide Y5 receptor (NPY5R) in complex with its endogenous ligand NPY and the Gi1 protein. The cryo‐electron microscopy structure, validated by extensive mutagenesis studies, gives important insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying ligand binding and receptor activation.

Abstract Premise Climate change is altering the timing of many plant phenological events, yet most studies focus on flowering, with less attention given to later reproductive stages such as fruit development and ripening. Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) is an important perennial berry species that may be sensitive to these changes.

ABSTRACT Background Exposures to human pathogens and toxins in licensed facilities in Canada have been monitored by a federal surveillance system since 2015, yet the affected persons (APs) in these incidents remain uncharacterized. This study comprehensively describes APs, highlighting sector‐specific patterns and trends over time.

Polyproline: A Synthetic Polypeptide With Unique Properties
Poly‐L‐proline is a unique polypeptide distinguished by its well‐defined secondary structures and unusual thermal behavior. This mini review highlights recent advances in the synthesis of poly‐L‐proline by N‐carboxyanhydride (NCA) polymerization, the formation of structurally defined architectures and nanostructures, and emerging strategies that ...
