This study uses SAXS and simulations to show that protein hydration shells shrink with increasing temperature, revealing temperature-sensitive structural changes in the hydration shell.

The paper quantifies how amino acid composition and peptide conformation affect hydration shell structure using molecular dynamics and SAXS simulations, showing distinct differences between globular and intrinsically disordered proteins.

The paper shows how multiple RNA binding domains in Unr mediate poly(A) specificity and interact with poly(A) binding protein during translation regulation.

The paper characterizes the quaternary hunchback mRNA repression complex formed by Brat, Pum, and Nanos, revealing its flexibility and independent binding of RNA components.
