Role of the transmembrane domain in severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus 2 spike for palmitoylation and membrane fusion. [PDF]
Abstract Palmitoylation is a reversible post‐translational modification that enhances protein hydrophobicity and regulates cellular functions such as trafficking and signaling. In humans, this modification is catalyzed by 23 DHHC enzymes, but the mechanisms by which they recognize their substrates remain unclear.

Sensitive detection systems for infectious agents in xenotransplantation*
Abstract Xenotransplantation of pig cells, tissues, or organs may be associated with transmission of porcine microorganisms, first of all of viruses, to the transplant recipient, potentially inducing a disease (zoonosis). I would like to define detection systems as the complex of sample generation, sample preparation, sample origin, time of sampling ...
