Biogeophysical Radiative Forcings of Large‐Scale Afforestation in Europe Are Highly Localized and Dominated by Surface Albedo Change by Ryan M. Bright, Luca Caporaso, Gregory Duveiller, Matteo Piccardo, Alessandro Cescatti

“…Forest area change alters not only the surface albedo but also heat, moisture, and momentum fluxes, which in turn modify the atmosphere's radiative, thermodynamical, and dynamical properties. These so‐called radiative forcing “adjustments” have been little examined in re‐/afforestation contexts, and many questions remain surrounding their relevance in relation to the instantaneous forcing from the surface albedo change—and whether they can affect Earth's radiative energy balance in regions remote from where the re‐/afforestation occurs. …”

Mutations to transcription factor MAX allosterically increase DNA selectivity by altering folding and binding pathways by Renee Hastings, Arjun K. Aditham, Nicole DelRosso, Peter H. Suzuki, Polly M. Fordyce

“…Twenty-two of the 240 assayed MAX point mutations enhance selectivity, yet none of these mutations occur at residues that contact nucleotides in published structures. By applying thermodynamic and kinetic models to these results and previous observations for the highly similar yet far more selective TF Pho4 (S. cerevisiae), we find that these mutations enhance selectivity by altering partitioning between or affinity within conformations with different intrinsic selectivity, providing a mechanistic basis for allosteric modulation of ligand selectivity. …”
