Dielectric permittivity method to monitor (liquid) water content in unsaturated soils, frozen soils, and snow [PDF]

E3S Web of Conferences
Monitoring (liquid) water content is key to inform early-warning systems for unsaturated, permafrost, and snow slopes. Dielectric permittivity-based sensors are widely used to monitor (liquid) water content in unsaturated soils and include the well-known

Optimizing photoexcitation conditions for time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering experiments

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Time‐resolved X‐ray solution scattering (TR‐XSS) is a powerful technique to visualize how proteins change their structure in real time after light activation. Selecting the right laser photoexcitation conditions—fluence, excitation geometry, and sample refresh rate—is critical to maximize the experimental signal while avoiding unwanted side effects ...

Accurate and noninvasive prostate cancer detection using plasma‐derived extracellular vesicle RNA

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plasma extracellular vesicles were captured with WGA‐conjugated magnetic beads and profiled for RNA biomarkers. A three‐RNA panel (NM_024955, NR_047469, and NR_002564) distinguished prostate cancer from healthy controls and benign prostatic hyperplasia, supporting a simple, noninvasive approach to improve prostate cancer detection.

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.

Adenosine triphosphate as a modulator of protein interactions and stability

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
ATP is best known as the cell's energy currency, but it also shapes how proteins fold, interact, aggregate and form biomolecular condensates. This review explains the emerging physical principles behind these effects, including weak binding to charged protein regions, magnesium‐dependent behaviour and concentration‐dependent control of protein ...

Radar Observations of Liquid Water in the South Polar Region of Mars: Indications from Astrobiology Perspectives

Universe
In recent decades, extensive research has led to the understanding that Mars once hosted substantial liquid-water reserves. While the current Martian landscape boasts significant water-ice deposits at its North and South poles, the elusive presence of ...

Mechanically durable liquid-impregnated honeycomb surfaces

Scientific Reports, 2017
Liquid repellent surfaces typically work by keeping the fouling liquid in a metastable state, with trapped pockets of air between the substrate and the liquid.

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 ...

Interaction of atmospheric pressure plasma with a liquid electrode

Physical Sciences and Technology
This research focuses on the interaction between liquid electrode (water) and atmospheric discharge streamers in air. It elucidates water surface deformations due to electrohydrodynamic effects in high-voltage discharge-distilled water interaction.
