The term B-factor, sometimes called the Debye–Waller factor, temperature factor, or atomic
displacement parameter, is used in protein crystallography to describe the attenuation of X …

Lectins—carbohydrate-binding proteins involved in a variety of recognition processes—
exhibit considerable structural diversity. Three new lectin folds and further elaborations of …

Transition-metal dissolution from cathode materials, manganese in particular, has been held
responsible for severe capacity fading in lithium-ion batteries, with the deposition of the …

The binding mode prediction is of great importance to structure-based drug design. The
discrimination of various binding poses of ligand generated by docking is a great challenge …

Biological degradation of natural product glycosides involves, alongside hydrolysis, β-
elimination for glycosidic bond cleavage. Here, we discover an O-glycoside β-eliminase …

In the cell, DNA is arranged into highly-organised and topologically-constrained
(supercoiled) structures. It remains unclear how this supercoiling affects the detailed double …

Abstract A novel (E)-N-cinnamoyl-4-methoxybenzamide (CMB) and (E)-3‑chloro-N-
cinnamoyl-4-methoxybenzamide (CCMB) were synthesized and characterized by using …

The opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa contains several carbohydrate-
binding proteins, among which is the P. aeruginosa lectin I (PA-IL), which displays affinity for …

Antibody derivatives have sought to recapitulate the antigen binding properties of
antibodies, but with improved biophysical attributes convenient for therapeutic, diagnostic …

Through the efforts of many groups, a wide range of fluorescent protein reporters and
sensors based on green fluorescent protein and its relatives have been engineered in …
