When the River Runs Low: Heterogeneous Impacts of Transportation Disruptions on Local Grain Basis

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A substantial share of U.S. soybean and corn exports from the Midwest moves by barge along the Mississippi River system to export terminals in the Louisiana Gulf. Transportation costs between Midwestern grain elevators and export terminals create a wedge between prices at these locations, and shocks to these costs are partially passed on to ...

Ferritin Iron Mineralisation: Route of Fe3+ Transfer From the Ferroxidase Centre to the Inner Cavity of Human H‐Chain Ferritin

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Proposed mechanism for Fe3+ transport from the FoC (sites 1 and 2) of human H‐chain ferritin following oxidation of the di‐Fe2+ form. Glu61, aided by the flexibility of its sidechain, plays a key role in coordinating Fe3+ at three sites (3, 4 and 5) that mark out the transit route.

Total Chemical Synthesis of Interleukin‐15 and Interleukin‐2: Taming Protein Hydrophobicity and Aggregation by a Versatile Solubilizing Strategy

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
A reducible solubilizing tag strategy (RST‐2.0) enables the synthesis, purification and ligation of difficult peptides while being readily removable just during folding, which overcomes the common challenges from protein hydrophobicity and aggregation. With this method, we achieved the first total synthesis of native and N‐glycosylated IL‐15 as well as
