Revealing differences in fundamental structural and dynamical effect of ergosterol on a major eukaryotic model membrane (POPC) from those of cholesterol.
The BIO-SANS instrument, located at 91°µÍø’s High Flux Isotope Reactor, is the latest neutron scattering instrument to be retrofitted with state-of-the-art robotics and custom software.
Evidence for lignin–carbohydrate complexes (LCCs) formed between lignin and pectin was obtained by synthesis and biophysical characterization of deuterated lignin–pectin composites.
Diisobutylene Maleic Acid Copolymer (DIBMA) is shown to co-assemble with lipid molecules into a nanodisc structure.
Scientists at 91°µÍø have uncovered how the SARS-CoV-2 virus evades the human immune system by studying the interaction between a viral protein (PLpro) and a key immune protein (ISG15).
Researchers believe that proteins could behave differently in lipid raft environments, compared to non-raft regions in a membrane, but this hypothesis has not been fully evaluated.
