Crystal structure of a bacterial photoactivated adenylate cyclase determined at room temperature by serial femtosecond crystallography

The paper determines the crystal structure of a bacterial photoactivated adenylate cyclase at room temperature using serial femtosecond crystallography and compares it with cryo structures to study structural changes upon light exposure.

A possible way to relate the effects of SARS-CoV-2 induced changes in transferrin to severe COVID-19 associated diseases

This study investigates how SARS-CoV-2 affects transferrin thermodynamics, suggesting it may disrupt iron metabolism and contribute to severe COVID-19 complications.

Uncertainties of cell number estimation in cyanobacterial colonies and the potential use of sphere packing

This study evaluates methods for estimating cyanobacterial cell counts and biovolumes, finding that sphere packing provides accurate estimates when colony volumes are measured precisely, while ellipsoid approximations and expert visual estimates have limitations.

The Integrity of the Speciation Core Complex is necessary for centromeric binding and reproductive isolation in Drosophila

This study identifies a six-subunit Speciation Core Complex containing Hmr and Lhr, showing Hmr's role in centromeric binding and hybrid male lethality in Drosophila.

Does rhythmic priming improve grammatical processing in Hungarian-speaking children with and without Developmental Language Disorder?

This study investigates whether rhythmic priming improves grammatical processing in Hungarian-speaking children with and without DLD, finding it enhances grammar performance but not other tasks.

Unraveling the Mechanism of a LOV Domain Optogenetic Sensor: A Glutamine Lever Induces Unfolding of the Jα Helix

This study investigates the structural dynamics of the LOV2 domain in AsLOV2, showing that Q513 and N414 mediate J-helix unfolding linked to optogenetic function.

Intricate structure of the interphase chromocenter revealed by the analysis of a factor involved in species formation

The paper uses microscopy and biotinylation to map HMR and HP1a bound chromatin, revealing an intricate structure of the chromocenter and a role for HMR in separating heterochromatin from centromeric chromatin.
