A single residue switch mediates the broad neutralization of Rotaviruses by Yang Huang, Feibo Song, Yuanjun Zeng, Hui Sun, Roufang Sheng, Xuechun Wang, Liqin Liu, Guoxing Luo, Yanan Jiang, Yaling Chen, Mengxuan Zhang, Shiyin Zhang, Ying Gu, Hai Yu, Shaowei Li, Tingdong Li, Qingbing Zheng, Shengxiang Ge, Jun Zhang, Ningshao Xia

“…A combination of time-resolved cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and in situ cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) analysis reveals a counterintuitive dynamic process of virus inactivation, in which 7H13 asymmetrically binds to a conserved epitope in the capsid-proximal aspect of VP4, triggers a conformational switch in a critical residue—F418—thereby disrupts the meta-stable conformation of VP4 essential for normal viral infection. Structure-guided mutagenesis corroborates the essential role of the 7H13 heavy chain I54 in activating F418 switch and destabilizing VP4. …”

Self-Assembling Multifunctional Peptide Dimers for Gene Delivery Systems by Kitae Ryu, Gyeong Jin Lee, Ji-yeong Choi, Taewan Kim, Tae-il Kim

“…MPD polyplexes showed low transfection efficiency in HEK293 cells expressing low level of MMP-2 but high transfection efficiency in A549 and C2C12 cells expressing high level of MMP-2, meaning the enhanced transfection efficiency probably due to MMP-induced structural change of polyplexes. Bafilomycin A1-treated transfection results suggest that the transfection of MPD is mediated via endosomal escape by endosome buffering ability. …”

Dust Explosion Characteristics of Agglomerated 35 nm and 100 nm Aluminum Particles by Hong-Chun Wu, Hsin-Jung Ou, Deng-Jr Peng, Hsiao-Chi Hsiao, Chung-Yun Gau, Tung-Sheng Shih

“…From an analysis of the explosive residue, the study found that nanoparticles of 35 nm Al powder became filamentous strands after an explosion, where most of 100 nm Al nanoparticles maintained a spherical structure, This may be because the initial melting temperature of 35 nm Al is 435.71°C, while that for 100 nm Al is 523.58°C, higher by 87.87°C. …”
