Interlaboratory benchmarking of differential scanning fluorimetry reveals sources of variability in protein thermal stability parameters

This study benchmarks DSF across labs, showing variability in thermal stability parameters due to instruments, workflows, and fluorescence readouts, with harmonization and centralized analysis improving consistency.

Superinfection exclusion strategy of siphophage T5: analysis of the FhuA:Llp complex

The paper determines the structure of Llp and analyzes the FhuA:Llp complex to understand superinfection exclusion in bacteriophage T5.

Structural modelling and functional analysis support lipid binding by the dimeric E. coli DedA protein YqjA

The paper identifies a lipid-binding site in the dimeric E. coli DedA protein YqjA through structural modeling and functional assays, showing lipid binding enhances thermal stability and is essential for function.

Assembly of the essential SpoIVA coat protein at the surface of developing bacterial spores

This study reveals that SpoIVA forms track-like polymers during bacterial spore development, with dimerization and ATPase activity playing distinct roles in its assembly and function.

Hydra domain drives SNF2L multimerization and marks ISWI diversification in parasites

The paper identifies Hydra, a novel domain in TgSNF2L that drives multimerization and contributes to ISWI diversification in Toxoplasma gondii.

Analytical Ultracentrifugation as a Tool for Exploring COSAN Assemblies.

This study uses sedimentation velocity analytical ultracentrifugation to investigate COSAN micelle aggregation and its effect on protein assembly, confirming a critical micelle concentration and revealing discrete aggregation states.
