Salt-dependent self-association of trinucleotide repeat RNA sequences

The paper shows that salt concentration affects RNA self-association rates and yields through changes in free energy gaps, with implications for repeat RNA aggregation.

Odd-even disparity in the population of slipped hairpins in RNA repeat sequences with implications for phase separation

The paper shows that odd-even differences in RNA repeat sequences affect phase separation propensity through free energy gaps between ground and slipped hairpin states.

Salt Induced Transitions in the Conformational Ensembles of Intrinsically Disordered Proteins

The paper studies salt-induced conformational changes in intrinsically disordered proteins using simulations and experimental data, finding salt-specific effects depend on protein class and salt type.

A preliminary ecological profile of Kyasanur Forest disease virus hosts among the mammalian wildlife of the Western Ghats, India

This study identifies ecological traits associated with Kyasanur Forest disease virus hosts in the Western Ghats, finding body mass and forest forage are linked to infection status.

Universal nature of collapsibility in the context of protein folding and evolution

The paper resolves the SAXS-FRET controversy by showing that unfolded protein states are universally compact, with β-sheet-rich proteins being more collapsible, and suggests collapsibility constrains protein evolution.
