StrucGAP: a modular, streamlined and traceable data mining platform for structural and site-specific glycoproteomics
Abstract The rapidly developing search engines for glycopeptide identification and accumulated high-resolution glycoproteomic data underscore the need for robust downstream data mining platforms towards subsequently functional and mechanistic studies. Here, we introduce StrucGAP, a Structural Glycoproteomics Analysis Platform for scalable downstream data mining of site-specific N-glycoproteomics.
A Glycoproteome Data Mining Strategy for Characterizing Structural Features of Altered Glycans with Thymic Involution
1 Introduction Glycosylation, an important co-/post-translational modification of proteins, plays a key role in immune responses and signal transduction.[1] Abnormal glycosylation has been linked to a multitude of diseases, including cancer, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases.[2] Over the past decade, mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomics has witnessed substantial advancements.[3, 4] In particular, many search engines have been established for direct intact glycopeptide analyses,...
How short peptides disassemble tau fibrils in Alzheimer’s disease - Nature
|
Abstract Reducing fibrous aggregates of the protein tau is a possible strategy for halting the progression of Alzheimer’s disease (AD)1. Previously, we found that in vitro, the d-enantiomeric peptide (D-peptide) D-TLKIVWC disassembles ultra-stable tau fibrils extracted from the autopsied brains of individuals with AD (hereafter, these tau fibrils are referred to as AD-tau) into benign segments, with no energy source other than ambient thermal agitation2.

How short peptides can disassemble ultra-stable tau fibrils extracted from Alzheimers disease brain by a strain-relief mechanism
Abstract Reducing fibrous aggregates of protein tau is a possible strategy for halting progression of Alzheimer's dis-ease (AD). Previously we found that in vitro the D-peptide D-TLKIVWC disassembles tau fibrils from AD brains (AD-tau) into benign segments with no energy source present beyond ambient thermal agitation. This disassembly by a short peptide was unexpected, given that AD-tau is sufficiently stable to withstand disas-sembly in boiling SDS detergent.
Low complexity domains of the nucleocapsid protein of SARS-CoV-2 form amyloid fibrils - Nature Communications
Abstract The self-assembly of the Nucleocapsid protein (NCAP) of SARS-CoV-2 is crucial for its function. Computational analysis of the amino acid sequence of NCAP reveals low-complexity domains (LCDs) akin to LCDs in other proteins known to self-assemble as phase separation droplets and amyloid fibrils. Previous reports have described NCAP’s propensity to phase-separate. Here we show that the central LCD of NCAP is capable of both, phase separation and amyloid formation.

Optically Active Inverse Opal Photonic Crystals
Abstract Chiral photonic crystals have been a widely investigated topic in chemistry, physics and biology. Till now, the research about chiral photonic crystals has been conducted on the objects of helical structures, while the chiral photonic crystals made of periodic chiral media remain unexplored experimentally. In this work, we have successfully constructed three-dimensional chiral polymer inverse opal photonic crystals (3D CPIOPCs) by a template-based method.
Self-Assembly of Chiral Au Clusters into Crystalline Nanocubes of Exceptional Optical Activity
Self-assembly of inorganic nanoparticles into ordered structures is of paramount importance in both science and technology because of expected generation of new property through collective behavior; however, such nanoparticle assemblies with characteristics largely distinct from individual building blocks are hardly acquired so far. Here we use atomically precise Au clusters to fabricate ordered assemblies with emerging optical activity.
