Diel remodeling and cellular integration of the nitroplast

The paper investigates the cellular integration and diel remodeling of the nitroplast in Braarudosphaera bigelowii, revealing its structural interactions and dynamic membrane changes.

Separation of halide oxidation and substrate halogenation chemistries rationalizes site-selective vanadium dependent haloperoxidase catalysis

This study solves the structure of a selective bromoperoxidase and identifies mechanisms for site-selective halogenation through distinct pockets and a camera shutter mechanism.

Structural mechanism for recognition of E2F1 by the ubiquitin ligase adaptor Cyclin F

The paper determines the structure of Cyclin F-Skp1 complex bound to E2F1 peptide, revealing differences in substrate-binding site and electrostatic interactions compared to Cyclin A.

Discovery of three novel neutralizing antibody epitopes on the human astrovirus capsid spike and mechanistic insights into virus neutralization

This study identifies three novel neutralizing antibody epitopes on the human astrovirus capsid spike using structural biology techniques and shows their role in blocking virus neutralization.
