Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Analysis of Model Embankment Dam by Shaking Table Test
Soils and Foundations, 1985 ABSTRACT Laboratory model tests have been performed on the shaking table to show the fundamental behaviour of embankment dams subjected to dynamic loads using the same dam materials. The paper shows the effects of the input motion, dam type and reservoir conditions on the response characteristics. The response data obtained are next used to identify

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Encapsulins are protein nanocompartments that play an important role in iron storage. In the Myxococcus xanthus encapsulin system, two cargo proteins called EncB and EncC contribute to iron mineralization. Here, we show that EncB and EncC generate iron‐containing minerals with distinct chemical compositions, suggesting that the composition of stored ...

Motion analysis of furniture under seismic excitation using the finite element method
Japan Architectural Review, 2018 Improperly secured furniture, especially on the upper floors of high‐rise buildings under long‐period ground motion, can prove dangerous to human life. Fallen items of furniture such as chairs and desks could become fatal obstacles that prevent efficient
