RNA structures and dynamics with A resolution revealed by x-ray free electron lasers

This paper reveals RNA structures and dynamics at near-atomic resolution using x-ray free electron lasers, showing how RNA folds through intermediate states and forms triplexes.

Cooperative Allostery and Structural Dynamics of Streptavidin at Cryogenic- and Ambient-temperature

The paper presents two apo-streptavidin structures at different temperatures and reveals cooperative allostery through water-mediated interactions.

Direct Observation of the Mechanism of Antibiotic Resistance by Mix-and-Inject at the European XFEL

The paper directly observes fast ligand binding in a biomedically relevant enzyme using MHz X-ray pulses at the European XFEL.

Near-Physiological-Temperature Serial Femtosecond X-ray Crystallography Reveals Novel Conformations of SARS-CoV-2 Main Protease Active Site for Improved Drug Repurposing

The paper determines two apo structures of SARS-CoV-2 main protease at near-physiological temperature using SFX and uses molecular simulations to analyze inhibitor binding for drug repurposing.

Automatic segmentation of dentate nuclei for microstructure assessment: example of application to temporal lobe epilepsy patients

This paper develops a CNN for automated dentate nuclei segmentation from DWI data, showing better performance than other methods and revealing microstructural changes in TLE patients.

Enzyme Intermediates Captured "on-the-fly" by Mix-and-Inject Serial Crystallography

This paper demonstrates a method to capture enzyme reactions in real-time using mix-and-inject serial crystallography, revealing antibiotic cleavage and kinetic transitions in Mycobacterium tuberculosis β-lactamase.
