The energetic landscape of CH-π interactions in protein-carbohydrate binding

|
By Allison Keys, David W. Kastner, Laura Kiessling, Heather J. Kulik
| Royal Society of Chemistry Verified
The energetic landscape of CH–π interactions in protein–carbohydrate binding† CH–π interactions between carbohydrates and aromatic amino acids play an essential role in biological systems that span all domains of life. Quantifying the strength and importance of these CH–π interactions is challenging because these interactions involve several atoms and can exist in many distinct orientations.

Single-shot 20-fold expansion microscopy - Nature Methods

|
By Shiwei Wang, Ryan McMillan, Peng Yin, Laura Kiessling, Kylie S. Leung
| Nature Verified
Abstract Expansion microscopy (ExM) is in increasingly widespread use throughout biology because its isotropic physical magnification enables nanoimaging on conventional microscopes. To date, ExM methods either expand specimens to a limited range (~4–10× linearly) or achieve larger expansion factors through iterating the expansion process a second time (~15–20× linearly).

Identification of d-arabinan-degrading enzymes in mycobacteria - Nature Communications

|
By Jennifer Ross, Victoria Marando, Alan Cartmell, Bernard Henrissat, José Munoz-Munoz, Laura Kiessling, Andrew L. Lovering, Spencer Williams, Javier Abellon-Ruiz, Robert P. Hirt, Elisabeth C. Lowe
| Nature Verified
Abstract Bacterial cell growth and division require the coordinated action of enzymes that synthesize and degrade cell wall polymers. Here, we identify enzymes that cleave the d-arabinan core of arabinogalactan, an unusual component of the cell wall of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other mycobacteria.
