Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

The environmental dependence of redox energetics of PuO2 and \alpha-Pu2O3: A quantitative solution from DFT+U calculations

, 2012
We report a comprehensive density functional theory (DFT) + $U$ study of the energetics of charged and neutral oxygen defects in both PuO$_{2}$ and $\alpha$-Pu$_{2}$O$_{3}$, and present a quantitative determination of the equilibrium compositions of ...

Disordered but rhythmic—the role of intrinsic protein disorder in eukaryotic circadian timing

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Unstructured domains known as intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) are present in nearly every part of the eukaryotic core circadian oscillator. IDRs enable many diverse inter‐ and intramolecular interactions that support clock function. IDR conformations are highly tunable by post‐translational modifications and environmental conditions, which ...

Advanced Electrodes for Solid Acid Fuel Cells by Platinum Deposition on CsH_(2)PO_4 [PDF]

, 2011
We demonstrate cathodes for solid acid fuel cells fabricated by vapor deposition of platinum from the metalorganic precursor Pt(acac)_2 on the solid acid CsH_(2)PO_4 at 210 °C. A network of platinum nanoparticles with diameters of 2−4 nm serves as both

Integration of circadian and hypoxia signaling via non‐canonical heterodimerization

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
CLOCK, BMAL1, and HIFs are basic helix‐loop‐helix and Per‐Arnt‐Sim domain (bHLH‐PAS) proteins, which function as transcription factors. bHLH‐PAS proteins are designated in two classes. Many class I proteins are regulated by environmental signals via their PAS domains, but such signals have not been identified for all.

Several new catalysts for reduction of oxygen in fuel cells [PDF]

, 1970
Test results prove nickel carbide or nitride, nickel-cobalt carbide, titanium carbide or nitride, and intermetallic compounds of the transition or noble metals to be efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction in alkaline electrolytes in low ...

Oxygen reduction at the silver/hydroxide-exchange membrane interface [PDF]

, 2008
A solid-state cell is used to study the electrocatalysis of oxygen reduction at the silver/hydroxide-exchange membrane interface. The catalyst/membrane interface exhibits improved performance in comparison to a catalyst/aqueous sodium hydroxide interface.

Mechanisms of parasite‐mediated disruption of brain vessels

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Parasites can affect the blood vessels of the brain, often causing serious neurological problems. This review explains how different parasites interact with and disrupt these vessels, what this means for brain health, and why these processes matter. Understanding these mechanisms may help us develop better ways to prevent or treat brain infections in ...

Elucidation of role of graphene in catalytic designs for electroreduction of oxygen

, 2018
Graphene is, in principle, a promising material for consideration as component (support, active site) of electrocatalytic materials, particularly with respect to reduction of oxygen, an electrode reaction of importance to low-temperature fuel cell ...
