Development of Container Free Sample Exposure for Synchrotron X-ray Footprinting. [PDF]
The method of X-ray footprinting and mass spectrometry (XFMS) on large protein assemblies and membrane protein samples requires high flux density to overcome the hydroxyl radical scavenging reactions produced by the buffer constituents and the total ...

A Synergistic Inhibitor Development Strategy Against Human UDP‐Galactose‐4‐Epimerase
The epimerase GalE is crucial for the biosynthesis of cancer‐relevant O‐GalNAc glycans. Here, we employ orthogonal, structurally enabled small molecule fragment screens to yield both covalent and non‐covalent inhibitors against GalE within no more than 22 elaborated compounds.

Experimental Evidence for a Metal‐Related Function of a Cyanobactin
Cyanobactins such as patellamides are produced by cyanobacteria profusely and have been studied extensively, but almost exclusively for their cytotoxic properties. Discussed is unprecedented experimental evidence for a metal‐related biological function – likely CO2 transport from the ascidian to the cyanobacterial symbiont.

Continuous Diffraction of Molecules and Disordered Molecular Crystals [PDF]
The diffraction pattern of a single non-periodic compact object, such as a molecule, is continuous and is proportional to the square modulus of the Fourier transform of that object. When arrayed in a crystal, the coherent sum of the continuous diffracted

An Open Receptor-Binding Cavity of Hemagglutinin-Esterase-Fusion Glycoprotein from Newly-Identified Influenza D Virus: Basis for Its Broad Cell Tropism. [PDF]
Influenza viruses cause seasonal flu each year and pandemics or epidemic sporadically, posing a major threat to public health. Recently, a new influenza D virus (IDV) was isolated from pigs and cattle. Here, we reveal that the IDV utilizes 9-O-acetylated

Atomically precise metal cluster enzymes for pathological tissue regeneration
Schematic illustration of atomically precise metal cluster enzymes (MCEs) for pathological tissue regeneration. Atomically precise MCEs can modulate biological processes, such as attenuation of inflammatory responses, eradication of bacterial pathogens, regulation of angiogenesis, and promotion of cell development.

Protein crystallization and structure determination at room temperature in the CrystalChip
The production of high‐quality crystals is a key step in crystallography in general, but control of crystallization conditions is even more crucial in serial crystallography, which requires sets of crystals homogeneous in size and diffraction properties.

While X‐ray crystallography has been the primary method for determining the structures of metalloproteins, cryoEM has taken over this role, illustrated by [4Fe4S]‐cluster containing proteins deposited in the Protein Data Bank. What will be the role for X‐ray crystallography as cryoEM and machine learning methods dominate the initial structural analysis?

Hydroxyethyl cellulose matrix applied to serial crystallography [PDF]
Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) allows structures of proteins to be determined at room temperature with minimal radiation damage. A highly viscous matrix acts as a crystal carrier for serial sample loading at a low flow rate that enables the ...
