Structural biology is fundamental to understanding the molecular basis of biological processes. While machine learning-based protein structure prediction has advanced considerably, experimentally determined structures remain indispensable for guiding structure-function analyses and for improving predictive modeling. However, experimental studies of protein complexes continue to pose challenges, particularly due to the necessity of high protein concentrations and purity for downstream analyses such as cryogenic electron microscopy.

Phycobilisome (PBS) is a water-soluble light-harvesting supercomplex found in cyanobacteria, glaucophytes, and rhodophytes. PBS interacts with photosynthetic reaction centers, specifically photosystems II and I (PSII and PSI), embedded in the thylakoid membrane. It is widely accepted that PBS predominantly associates with PSII, which functions as the initial complex in the linear electron transport chain.

From Growth to Survival: Aux/IAA Genes in Plant Development and Stress Management.

Plant Sci

Fermentation and Phytofarming Technology Division, CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology, Palampur-176061, Himachal Pradesh, India; Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad-201002, India. Electronic address:

Auxin, one of the earliest recognized and extensively investigated phytohormones, is crucial in plant growth and survival in adverse environmental conditions. Two gene families primarily regulate auxin signaling: auxin response factors (ARFs) and auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA). Aux/IAA family proteins are recognized as essential elements of the nuclear auxin signaling system, inhibiting gene transcription in their presence and facilitating gene activation upon their degradation.

Low-carbon competitiveness of cities in solid waste disposal systems: Spatial and temporal variations in greenhouse gas emissions in the Yangtze River Delta.

Waste Manag

September 2025

Shanghai Engineering Research Center of Solid Waste Treatment and Resource Recovery, School of Environmental Science & Engineering, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China; China Institute for Urban Governance, Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai 200240, China. Electronic address:

As one of the major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, the municipal solid waste (MSW) management system was regarded as a key contributor to the construction of a low-carbon society. Understanding the evolution of waste treatment facilities and the corresponding GHG emissions was essential for assessing the low-carbon competitiveness of local communities. In this study, facility-level data were used to estimate GHG emissions from the waste management system in the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) and analyze their temporal and spatial variations.

Mapping PFAS behavior via meta-analysis of soil dynamics, predictive modeling and policy integration.

Sci Total Environ

September 2025

University Hohenheim, Department of Process Analytics and Cereal Science, Stuttgart, 70599, Germany.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants with increasing prevalence in agricultural soils, primarily introduced through biosolid application, wastewater irrigation, and atmospheric deposition. This review provides a meta-analysis of terminologies across 145 peer-reviewed studies, identifying inconsistency in the classification of PFAS subgroups-such as "long-chain vs. short-chain," "precursors," and "emerging PFAS"-which hinders regulatory harmonization and model calibration.
