MAS cryoprobe enhances solid-state NMR signals of α-synuclein fibrils

This study demonstrates that a MAS cryoprobe significantly improves signal-to-noise ratio in solid-state NMR experiments on α-synuclein fibrils, enabling faster and higher-resolution spectroscopy.

Anionic lipid catalyzes the generation of cytotoxic insulin oligomers

This study shows that anionic lipids like DMPG influence insulin aggregation pathways and intermediate formation, with soluble intermediates being more cytotoxic than fibrils.

Unveiling Cell Wall Structure and Echinocandin Response in Candida auris and Candida albicans via Solid-State NMR

This study uses solid-state NMR to analyze how echinocandin treatment alters cell wall structures in Candida auris and Candida albicans, revealing structural changes linked to drug resistance.

Molecular Architecture of Chitin and Chitosan-Dominated Cell Walls in Zygomycetous Fungal Pathogens by Solid-State NMR

This study uses solid-state NMR to analyze the molecular structure of cell walls in Mucorales fungi, revealing the composition and organization of chitin, chitosan, and associated polysaccharides.
