A synthetic biology approach for consistent production of plant-made recombinant polyclonal antibodies against snake venom toxins [PDF]

, 2018
Antivenoms developed from the plasma of hyperimmunized animals are the only effective treatment available against snakebite envenomation but shortage of supply contributes to the high morbidity and mortality toll of this tropical disease.

Investigation of the Effects of Strain and Electric Field on the Spin‐State Energetics of Co‐Doped BaTiO3 and PbTiO3

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ab initio calculations using the r2SCAN functional show that biaxial strain does not alter the high spin preference of cobalt‐doped BaTiO3 and PbTiO3; a small compressive uniaxial strain however results in an equally favorable low spin state for BaTiO3 and thus bistable magnetism.

A Tricky Trait: Applying the Fruits of the “Function Debate” in the Philosophy of Biology to the “Venom Debate” in the Science of Toxinology

Toxins, 2016
The “function debate” in the philosophy of biology and the “venom debate” in the science of toxinology are conceptually related. Venom systems are complex multifunctional traits that have evolved independently numerous times throughout the animal kingdom.

Excited State Modulation in Carbene‐Metal‐Amides to Design Fast and Bright Blue Delayed Fluorescence

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Gold‐centered carbene‐metal amide (CMA) materials with carbonyl‐group substitution on the amide donor ligand. Molecular design ensures that the charge transfer (CT) state is lower in energy than the locally excited (3LE) states. The energy difference between CT and LE states controls the rate of the delayed fluorescence.

Predation on a pygmy shrew, Sorex minutus, by the noble false widow spider, Steatoda nobilis

Ecosphere, 2023
The noble false widow spider Steatoda nobilis is a globally invasive species with implications for public health and possibly for native ecosystems. Here, we report on a case of predation on a protected species of vertebrate, a pygmy shrew Sorex minutus ...

Secretory Phospholipases A2 in Plants [PDF]

, 2019
Secreted phospholipases (sPLA2s) in plants are a growing group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of sn-2 glycerophospholipids to lysophospholipids and free fatty acids. Until today, around only 20 sPLA2s were reported from plants.

Formation of 2D Electron Gas at a Non‐Polar Perovskite Oxide Interface: SrHfO3/BaSnO3

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Through experiments and Poisson‐Schrödinger simulations, 2D electron gas formed at the non‐polar SrHfO3/BaSnO3 interface is observed. A large conduction band offset enables modulation doping by the intrinsic deep donors in SrHfO3, resulting in carrier confinement in BaSnO3 without relying on interfacial polarization or termination‐layer engineering ...

Electric Blue: Molecular Evolution of Three-Finger Toxins in the Long-Glanded Coral Snake Species Calliophis bivirgatus

Toxins, 2021
The genus Calliophis is the most basal branch of the family Elapidae and several species in it have developed highly elongated venom glands. Recent research has shown that C.

Liquid‐Locked Bassanites for Scalable Fabrication of High‐Temperature Micro‐Supercapacitors Working at 300 °C

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A “liquid locking” strategy is proposed and implemented for scalable printing of crack‐free bassanite ceramic frameworks with interlocking microstructures to host ionic liquids as effective electrolytes for high‐temperature micro‐supercapacitors (HT‐MSCs).
