Article Abstract
Nanobody (Nb) has gained significant attention in immunoassays owing to its numerous advantages, particularly its ease of molecular evolution. However, the limited understanding of how high sensitivity and specificity attained for antihapten Nbs hamper the development of high-performance Nbs. Herein, the antiparathion Nb (Nb9) we prepared previously was chosen as the model, and an approach based on X-ray crystallography, molecular docking, and rational site-directed saturation mutation for constructing a rapid and effective platform for nanobody evolution was described. Based on the structural analysis, two mutants, namely Nb-D5 (IC = 2.4 ± 0.2 ng/mL) and Nb-D12 (IC = 2.7 ± 0.1 ng/mL), were selected out from a six-sites directed saturation mutation library, 3.5-fold and 3.1-fold sensitivity enhancement over Nb9 to parathion, respectively. Besides, Nb-D12 exhibited improved sensitivity for quinalphos, triazophos, and coumaphos (5.4-35.4 ng/mL), indicating its broader detection potential. Overall, our study advances an effective strategy for the future rational evolution of Nbs with desirable performance.

Determination of evolutionary mechanisms underlying innovative traits is crucial for understanding the vast diversity of species and phenotypes. Given their respiratory physiologies, fishes are compelling subjects for evolutionary analysis of the hemoprotein-based oxygen-transport systems. Asian noodlefishes (Osmeriformes: Salangidae) and Antarctic icefishes (Notothenioidei: Channichthyidae) are examples of fish clades that generally do not express myoglobin or hemoglobin.

Arthropod-borne viruses (arboviruses) pose a major threat to global public health, impacting both human and animal health. Genomic characterization is important for arboviruses because it allows for an understanding of their evolution and improves timely outbreak and epidemic response. In this study, we used high-throughput sequencing and computational analyses to characterize the genomes and evolution of 46 previously unsequenced or partially sequenced arbovirus isolates collected across 23 countries between 1954 and 1984.

The interstellar medium (ISM) is a complex and dynamic environment in which molecular collisions play a crucial role. Among these, protonated carbon chains are of great interest due to the presence of a permanent dipole moment and their relevance in describing astrochemical processes, making their detection possible in cold molecular clouds such as TMC-1. C5H+ (1Σg+) is an important molecule for understanding the formation and evolution of carbon-rich environments.
