Simulations predict preferred Mg2+ coordination in a nonenzymatic primer extension reaction center

The paper uses molecular dynamics simulations to investigate how Mg2+ coordination affects nonenzymatic RNA primer extension, finding that specific coordination patterns enhance reaction efficiency.

Experimental Tests of the Virtual Circular Genome Model for Non-enzymatic RNA Replication

The paper tests a non-enzymatic RNA replication model using a virtual circular genome, finding that environmental fluctuations and pre-activation enhance replication.

An efficient method to generate fluorescent amyloid fibrils

This paper introduces a method to generate fluorescent amyloid fibrils using non-covalent fluorophore incorporation, enabling monitoring of cellular internalization and interfibrillar interactions without altering fibril structure.

Characterization of sub-tropical maize (Zea Mays L.) inbred lines for the variation in kernel row numbers (KRN)

The paper characterizes sub-tropical maize inbred lines to identify genetic regions influencing kernel row numbers (KRN) and finds four genes with high probability of affecting this trait.

Wireless closed-loop smart bandage for chronic wound management and accelerated tissue regeneration

This paper develops a wireless smart bandage that monitors wound conditions and delivers electrical stimulation to accelerate tissue regeneration in chronic wounds.

Reconciling Membrane Protein Simulations with Experimental DEER Spectroscopy Data

This study identifies discrepancies between DEER spectroscopy and MD simulations of membrane proteins, showing that spin label modifications and membrane mimetics affect distance distributions.

Outcomes of the 2019 EMDataResource model challenge: validation of cryo-EM models at near-atomic resolution
