Native Perennial Vegetation Buffer Strips Improve Structural Indicators of Riparian Protection in Mediterranean Agroecosystems

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Riparian zones in Mediterranean agroecosystems are highly vulnerable to degradation because cultivation often reaches stream edges and annual vegetation senesces during the late‐summer dry period, leaving soils exposed when the first erosive autumn rains occur.

Enhancing Ligand Epitope Mapping in Biomolecular Recognition by Variable Temperature Saturation Transfer Difference NMR (VT‐STD NMR)

Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, EarlyView.
The impact of temperature on the analysis of STD NMR ligand epitope mapping has been thoroughly investigated. For protein–ligand complexes under fast exchange kinetics, a negligible temperature effect is observed. For the intermediate exchange regime, VT‐STD NMR allows to obtain better discriminated epitope mappings, hence enabling the accurate ...
