The envelope (E) protein of Dengue virus rearranges to a trimeric hairpin to mediate fusion of the viral and target membranes, which essential for infectivity. Insertion of E into the target membrane serves to anchor E and possibly also to disrupt local

A majority of anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) reported in the literature have been unable to achieve high current or power. A recently proposed theory is that the achievable current is largely limited by poorly balanced water during cell
Small-angle scattering from two-phase isotropic systems requires the scattering invariant to determine the relative fractions of each phase in the material. For anisotropic systems the measurement yields a result that depends on the projection of the
Silicate glass doped with 6Li is a common slow neutron shielding material, and has been utilized as such in several neutron research facilities. 6Li is a unique isotope for thermal neutron capture as it has a large thermal neutron capture cross section (≈

Diammonium dodecahydro-closedidecabirate (NH 4) 2B 12H 12 is the ionic compound combining NH 4 + cations and [B 12H 12] 2- anions both of which can exhibit high reorientational mobility. To study the dynamical properties of this unusual material, we have

The deep eutectic solvent glyceline formed by choline chloride and glycerol in 1:2 molar ratio is much less viscous compared to glycerol, which facilitates its use in many applications where high viscosity is undesirable. Despite the large difference in

We report H 2 adsorption capacities reaching 0.05 mass% (wt. %) at 303 K and 1 atm H 2 pressure on solid-state CuCl-exchanged [Al]-SSZ-13 and [B]-SSZ zeolites. Differential heat of H 2 adsorption is found in the range between 16 KJ mol H 2 -1 and 48 KJ mol

Nanolipoprotein particles (NLPs), composed of a membrane scaffold protein and lipids, have been used to support membrane proteins in a native-like bilayer environment for biochemical or structural studies. Traditionally, these NLPs have been prepared by

The determination of monoclonal antibody interactions with protein antigens in solution can lead to important insight to guide physical characterization and molecular engineering of therapeutic targets. We used small-angle scattering (SAS) combined with
Solution small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) combined with contrast variation provides information about the size and shape of individual components in a multi-component biological assembly, as well as the spatial arrangements between the components. The

Star polymers with a cross-linked nanogel-core are promising carriers of cargo for therapeutic applications due the synthetic control of amphiphilicity of arms and the stability to infinite dilution. Three nanogel-core star polymers were investigated to

The success of proteasome inhibitors has led to intense efforts to discover points of therapeutic intervention for nearly every component of the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The discovery of ubistatins, small molecules that inhibit proteasomal degradation
