When normal blood circulation is compromised by damage to vessel walls, clots are formed
at the site of injury. These clots prevent bleeding and support wound healing. To sustain …

Ion transport is essential to energy storage, cellular signalling and desalination. Polymers
have been explored for decades as solid-state electrolytes by either adding salt to polar …

Abstract γ-Secretase is an intramembrane aspartyl-protease catalyzing the final step in the
regulated intramembrane proteolysis of a large number of single-span type-1 …

The DNA origami method permits folding of long single-stranded DNA into complex 3D
structures with subnanometer precision. Transmission electron microscopy, atomic force …

Elastic network (EN) models have been widely used in recent years for describing protein
dynamics, based on the premise that the motions naturally accessible to native structures …

High-resolution structural studies are essential for understanding the folding and function of
diverse RNAs. Herein, we present a nanoarchitectural engineering strategy for efficient …

Several experiments have suggested that newly synthesized polypeptide chains can adopt
helical structures deep within the ribosome exit tunnel. We hypothesize that confinement in …

Protein α-helices are ubiquitous secondary structural elements, seldom considered to be
stable without tertiary contacts. However, amino acid sequences in proteins that are based …

Dynamic noncovalent interactions are pivotal to the structure and function of biological
proteins and have been used in bioinspired materials for similar roles. Metal-coordination …
