Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Green construction of highly tunable micro-nano porous polymers based on polymethylmethacrylate /polyvinylidene fluoride self-assembly system and ultra-low pressure CO2 foaming

Journal of CO2 Utilization
The green construction of micro-nano porous polymers with great potential still faces extreme challenges, including polluting solution blending processes, the use of exogenous nucleating agents, high saturation pressure and even chlorofluorocarbon ...

Liquid-Metal Nodal Sheet for Reconfigurable Devices and Circuits

IEEE Access, 2020
Gallium-based liquid metals have attracted attention as a conductive adaptable material that can be shaped to obtain reconfigurability. We demonstrate a two-dimensional array of liquid-metal conductive nodes, in which reconfigurability is achieved by ...

Suspension printing of liquid metal in yield-stress fluid for resilient 3D constructs with electromagnetic functions

npj Flexible Electronics, 2022
Liquid metal is an ideal conductive material for soft electronics because of its high conductivity and fluidity at room temperature. However, the large surface tension and high mass density of liquid metal make forming three-dimensional (3D) dangling ...

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

A novel pre-foaming strategy to manipulate carbon dioxide adsorption and desorption behavior for achieving low-density TPU foams

Journal of CO2 Utilization
Microcellular foaming is one of the most promising method for preparing high-performance polymer foams. Gas diffusion and adsorption behavior can significantly affect the foaming behavior of polymers in microcellular foaming.

Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

A strategy for mitigating mechanical anisotropy of GWZ932 Mg alloy via cryogenic-annealing cyclic treatment

Journal of Magnesium and Alloys
Mechanical anisotropy remains a fundamental barrier to the widespread applications of Mg alloys. In this study, a cryogenic-annealing cyclic (CAC) process was proposed to mitigate the mechanical anisotropy of the GWZ932 Mg alloy through multi-scale ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...
