Surfactant‐Enhanced Electrospun Nanofiber Filters for Efficient Viral and Bacterial Inactivation
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.In this work, electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous filters functionalized with surfactants (CTAB, CPC, and SDS) were developed for air filtration applications. The PAN nanofiber mats enable efficient particulate matter capture while simultaneously providing antimicrobial and antiviral activity against bacteria (E. coli and S.

The tarantula toxin GxTx detains K+ channel gating charges in their resting conformation. [PDF]
, 2019 Allosteric ligands modulate protein activity by altering the energy landscape of conformational space in ligand-protein complexes. Here we investigate how ligand binding to a K+ channel's voltage sensor allosterically modulates opening of its K ...

Batteries &Supercaps, EarlyView.Binder‐free, self‐standing hard carbon electrodes (SSEs) are designed and utilized as anodes in Na‐ion batteries, demonstrating a high reversible capacity of 320 mAh g−1. Coating the SSEs with nanographite via plasma‐enhanced chemical vapor deposition limits the formation of solid electrolyte interphase, thereby improving the iCE to 92.5%.

Gene content evolution in the arthropods [PDF]
, 2020 Arthropods comprise the largest and most diverse phylum on Earth and play vital roles in nearly every ecosystem. Their diversity stems in part from variations on a conserved body plan, resulting from and recorded in adaptive changes in the genome ...

The impacts of biological invasions
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological
