Influence of Mie scattering on nanoparticles with different particle sizes and shapes: photometry and analytical ultracentrifugation with absorption optics [PDF]
Nanoparticles are used in large quantities for very different applications. A precise determination of the diameter and the particle size distribution which is responsible for the application properties is therefore essential.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Hadronic matter compressibility from event-by-event analysis of heavy-ion collisions [PDF]
We propose a method to measure the hadronic matter compressibility by means of the event-by-event analysis of heavy-ion collisions at high energies. The method, which utilizes the thermodynamical relation between the compressibility and the particle ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

Particle size distribution (PSD), which is an important characteristic of marine suspended particles, plays a role in how light transfers in the ocean and impacts the ocean’s inherent optical properties (IOPs).

Measuring every particle's size from three-dimensional imaging experiments
Often experimentalists study colloidal suspensions that are nominally monodisperse. In reality these samples have a polydispersity of 4-10%. At the level of an individual particle, the consequences of this polydispersity are unknown as it is difficult to

Structure characterization of hard sphere packings in amorphous and crystalline states [PDF]
The channel size distribution in hard sphere systems, based on the local neighbor correlation of four particle positions, is investigated for all volume fractions up to jamming.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

RNA control of HIV-1 particle size polydispersity. [PDF]
HIV-1, an enveloped RNA virus, produces viral particles that are known to be much more heterogeneous in size than is typical of non-enveloped viruses. We present here a novel strategy to study HIV-1 Viral Like Particles (VLP) assembly by measuring the ...

Dry powder inhalers: Particle size and patient-satisfaction
Inhalational route is the cornerstone for drug delivery in asthma. Dry powder inhalers efficiently deliver drug particles to lungs depending on patients' breath actuation and without using propellants.
