Exploring crystal structure–physical property relationships with pressure
From its conception, X-ray crystallography has provided a unique understanding of the structure, bonding and electronic state of materials, which, in turn, unlocks a means of examining the properties and function of crystalline systems.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

9-Vinylanthracene Based Fluorogens: Synthesis, Structure-Property Relationships and Applications
Fluorescent dyes with aggregation-induced emission (AIE) properties exhibit intensified emission upon aggregation. They are promising candidates to study biomolecules and cellular changes in aqueous environments when aggregation formation occurs.

Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Testing the Linearity Assumption for Starch Structure-Property Relationships in Rices
Many properties of starch-containing foods are significantly statistically correlated with various structural parameters. The significance of a correlation is judged by the p-value, and this evaluation is based on the assumption of linear relationships ...

Structural property relationships in conjugated polymers
The synthesis of a series of PPV derivative polymers by the Wittig-Homer reaction is described. The structure of each polymer is varied and the effects of these variations on the optical properties is explored. The effects of alkyloxy side chains is observed between the PPV derivatives Poly(-p-phenylvinylene-co-2,5-bis-octyloxy phenylvinylene.) PPV-OPV

Exploring structure-property relationships of silver 4-(phenylethynyl)pyridine complexes [PDF]
Silver(salts demonstrate a strong preference for forming linear complexes when reacted with 4-(phenylethynyl)-pyridine (pep). The packing of these complexes was found to be strongly influenced by the counteranions, namely PF6-,BF4-, NO2-, NO3-, MeCO2 ...
