Article Abstract
The tropomyosin 1 isoform I/C C-terminal domain (Tm1-LC) fibril structure is studied jointly with cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). This study demonstrates the complementary nature of these two structural biology techniques. Chemical shift assignments from solid state NMR are used to determine the secondary structure at the level of individual amino acids, which is faithfully seen in cryo-EM reconstructions. Additionally, solid state NMR demonstrates that the region not observed in the reconstructed cryo-EM density is primarily in a highly mobile random coil conformation rather than adopting multiple rigid conformations. Overall, this study illustrates the benefit of investigations combining cryo-EM and solid state NMR to investigate protein fibril structure.

This article is based on the research background of an early performance of shotcrete under low-temperature environments. Silica fume (SF) (silicon powder) and nano-CSH are used to improve the effect of the low-temperature environment on the performance of alkali-free (AF) liquid accelerators and early strength of shotcrete. The results show that the 10% SF and 3% nano-CSH composite admixture significantly enhances AF accelerators' performance at 5 °C, reducing initial and final setting times to 3.

Rolling circle amplification (RCA) has revolutionized nucleic acid detection owing to its isothermal simplicity. However, over two decades of clinical application have been hampered by off-target amplification and incompatibility with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA). Herein, a strategy, specifically cleavage of rationally designed DNA/RNA chimeric hairpin preprimer by dsDNA-targeted CRISPR/Cas12a to rlease ssRNA for initiating RCA (SCOPE-RCA), is proposed for nucleic acid identification of African swine fever virus (ASFV).

The sliding motion of aqueous droplets on hydrophobic surfaces leads to charge separation at the trailing edge, with implications from triple-line friction to hydrovoltaic energy generation. Charges deposited on the solid surface have been attributed to ions or electrons ripped off from the liquid drop. However, the dynamics and exact physicochemical nature of these surface-trapped charges remains poorly explored.

Wastewater solids management is a key contributor to the operational cost and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). This study proposes a 'waste-to-energy' strategy using a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL)-based system to displace conventional energy- and emission-intensive practices. The proposed system directs HTL-produced biocrude to oil refineries and recovers regionally tailored nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers.

Amyloid materials are formed from the aggregation of single proteins, yet contain polymorphisms where bulk properties are defined by a composition of multiple fibril types. Though desirable as a sustainable material, little is known about how various fibril types survive at high temperatures or in nonpolar solvents due to their highly similar molecular and nanoscale features. Here, we demonstrate that in situ two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy (2DIR), when paired with nanoscale microscopy, can determine the transition temperature of amyloid subpopulations without the use of labels.
