Elucidating the functional domain architecture of ArCS1, a biomineralizing myosin chitin synthase: I. The role of lipids

The paper establishes a workflow for expressing and purifying ArCS1_E22TM in nanodiscs, models its structure, and provides insights into chitin polymerization and translocation mechanisms.

Synthetic iminosugar monomers change global metabolic pathways and chitin biosynthesis in Thalassiosira rotula

The paper shows that iminosugar analogues alter chitin biosynthesis and metabolic pathways in Thalassiosira rotula by repressing carbohydrate pathways and inducing ribosome biogenesis.

Feather keratin in Pavo cristatus: A tentative structure

The paper describes the structural arrangement of F-keratin in Pavo cristatus, focusing on the N-block and C-block organization and their role in forming composite fibers.
