This is the first work to unveil the self-assembly of proteins through adsorbate-adsorbate interactions across pore apertures of a metal-organic framework (MOF) via small-angle neutron scattering (SANS).
Nonfood, plant-based biofuels have potential as a green alternative to fossil fuels, but the enzymes required for production are too inefficient and costly to produce.
Growing up in China, Yue Yuan stood beneath the world’s largest hydroelectric dam, built to harness the world’s third-longest river.
A team of scientists led by the Department of Energy’s 91°µÍø designed a molecule that disrupts the infection mechanism of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and could be used to develop new treatments for COVID-19 and other viral disease
It is shown that presence of dodecylmaltoside (DDM) detergent changes lipid bicelle self-assemblies from anisometric geometry to less ordered, smaller-dimensioned and more isometric self-assemblies.
Diisobutylene Maleic Acid Copolymer (DIBMA) is shown to co-assemble with lipid molecules into a nanodisc structure.
Scientists at 91°µÍø have uncovered how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evades the human immune system by studying the interaction between a viral protein (PLpro) and a key immune protein (ISG15).
Researchers believe that proteins could behave differently in lipid raft environments, compared to non-raft regions in a membrane, but this hypothesis has not been fully evaluated.
