An efficient strategy for producing RNA‐free Nucleocapsid protein of SARS‐CoV‐2 for biochemical and structural investigations

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cleavable N‐terminal Thioredoxin fusion enabled soluble expression and purification of otherwise insoluble SARS‐CoV‐2 Nucleocapsid (N) protein. A four‐step purification strategy yielded highly homogeneous, RNA‐free N protein. Binding assays showed high RNA affinity (Kd ~ 28 nm). The study will facilitate high‐resolution structural studies of N protein,

Diffusion‐based size determination of solute particles: a method adapted for postsynaptic proteins

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We present a diffusion‐based approach for measuring the size of macromolecules and their complexes, and demonstrate its use on postsynaptic proteins. The method requires fluorescein‐labelled protein samples, a microfluidic device that maintains laminar flow for said samples, a microscope recording the emitted fluorescent signals, and an analytic ...

Valorization of Lignocellulosic Wastes Material for Efficient Adsorption of a Cationic Azo Dye and Sludge Recycling as a Reinforcement of Thermoplastic Composite

Fluids, 2023
This work explored the adsorption of Malachite Green (MG) dye by Acorn Pericarp (AP) in the context of biomass valorization. The Acorn Pericarp was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction.

Synergy between conventional phosphorus fire retardants and organically-modified clays can lead to fire retardancy of styrenics [PDF]

, 2003
Polystyrene–clay nanocomposites combined with phosphorous-containing fire retardants have been prepared and used to explore the thermal stability and mechanical properties of the polymer formed. The amounts of fire retardants and clay used were varied to

W‐Based Thin Film Metallic Glasses Doped with Ni, Zr, and B for Industrial Applications

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work is the first to deal with a comprehensive comparison of two metallic glass systems, W–Zr–B and W–Ni–B, in terms of their suitability for specific industrial applications. Their mechanical and tribological properties are compared and discussed in combination with structural homogeneity on different types of technically relevant substrates and ...
