Semisynthetic Phage Display Library Construction: Design and Synthesis of Diversified Single-Chain Variable Fragments and Generation of Primary Libraries.

Display of antibody fragments on the surface of M13 filamentous bacteriophages is a well-established approach for the identification of antibodies binding to a target of interest. Here, we describe the first of a three-step method to construct Antibody Libraries for Therapeutic Antibody Discovery (ALTHEA) Libraries. The three-step method involves (1) primary library (PL) construction, (2) filtered library construction, and (3) secondary library construction. The first step, described here, entails design, synthesis, and cloning of four PLs. These PLs are designed with specific properties amenable to therapeutic antibody development using one universal variable heavy (VH) scaffold and four distinct variable light (VL) scaffolds. The scaffolds are diversified in positions that bind both protein and peptide targets identified in antibody-antigen complexes of known structure using the amino acid frequencies found in those positions in known human antibody sequences, avoiding residues that may lead to developability liabilities. The diversified scaffolds are combined with 90 synthetic neutral HCDR3 sequences designed with developable human diversity genes (IGHD) and joining heavy genes (IGHJ) in germline configuration, and assembled as single-chain variable fragments (scFvs) in a VL-linker-VH orientation. The four designed PLs are synthesized using trinucleotide phosphoramidites (TRIMs) and cloned independently into a phagemid vector for M13 pIII display. Quality control of the cloning of the four PLs is also described, which involves sequencing scFvs in each library.

Analysis of the Sr2GdTi2Nb3O15 ceramic: Investigation into its structural properties and complex impedance spectroscopy

In this study, we successfully synthesized tetragonal tungsten bronze with the nominal formula Sr2GdTi2Nb3O15 and systematically examined of its structure, dielectric, and electrical properties. The material was synthesized through the solid-state reaction technique at a temperature of 1350 °C. The formation of the tetragonal tungsten bronze in the P4/mbm space group was verified via Rietveld refinement using X-ray diffraction data. The electrical characteristics of the ceramic were examined using non-destructive complex impedance spectroscopy (CIS) across a range of frequencies (10–106 Hz) at various temperatures. The real component of impedance (Z') displayed a decrease with rising frequency, suggesting a negative temperature coefficient of resistance (NTCR) for this sample. The Cole-Cole plot of the compound exhibits two semicircles, with the compound's resistance gradually decreasing as the temperature increased. Moreover, the activation energy (Ea) was found to be approximately 0.9 eV, which confirms that oxygen vacancies are responsible for the observed relaxation behavior. Complex modulus analysis confirmed the presence of non-Debye relaxations. These results contribute to a thorough comprehension of the structural and electrical characteristics of Sr2GdTi2Nb3O15, opening avenues for potential applications in diverse electronic devices.

Cnn-assisted multi-hop graph attention network for hyperspectral image classification

ABSTRACT Recently, the convolutional neural network (CNN) has gained widespread adoption in the hyperspectral image (HSI) classification owing to its remarkable feature extraction capability. However, the fixed acceptance domain of CNN restricts it to Euclidean image data only, making it difficult to capture complex information in hyperspectral data. To overcome this problem, much attention has been paid to the graph attention network (GAT), which can effectively model graph structure and capture complex dependencies between nodes. However, GAT usually acts on superpixel nodes, which may lead to the loss of pixel-level information. To better integrate the advantages of both, we propose a CNN-assisted multi-hop graph attention network (CMGAT) for HSI classification. Specifically, a parallel dual-branch architecture is first constructed to simultaneously capture spectral-spatial features from hyperspectral data at the superpixel and pixel levels using GAT and CNN, respectively. On this basis, the multi-hop and multi-scale mechanisms are further employed to construct a multi-hop GAT module and a multi-scale CNN module to capture diverse feature information. Secondly, an attention module is cascaded before the multi-scale CNN module to improve classification performance. Eventually, the output information from the two branches is weighted and fused to produce the classification result. We performed experiments on four benchmark HSI datasets, including Indian Pines (IP), University of Pavia (UP), Salinas Valley (SV) and WHU-Hi-LongKou (LK). The results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms several deep learning methods, achieving overall accuracies of 95.67%, 99.04%, 99.55% and 99.51%, respectively, even with fewer training samples.

Unique Crystal Structure of a Self-Assembled Dinuclear Cu Peptoid Reveals an Unusually Long Cu···Cu Distance.

Studies on a series of molecular dicopper peptoid complexes showed that the Cu···Cu distances measured in X-ray single-crystal diffraction are typically in the range of 4.2-6.9 Å. Herein, we designed a new peptoid, L1, having 2,2'-bipyridine, propyl, and pyridyl side chains and discovered that although it forms a typical dicopper self-assembled structure (complex 1), the Cu···Cu distance is exceedingly long -8.043 Å. By analyzing its structure and surface properties in comparison to a control Cu-peptoid complex (2), in which the pyridyl side chain is modified by an ethanolic side chain, we suggest that the long Cu···Cu distance is contributed by the hydrophilic-hydrophobic interaction influenced by the pyridyl side chain and the steric hindrance of the propyl side chain. This result may motivate the use of dinuclear Cu peptoid complexes for wider applications, such as cooperative catalysis and luminescence.

What Is the Crystallographic Resolution of Structural Models of Proteins Generated with AlphaFold2?

Recent advancements in AI-driven computational modeling, especially AlphaFold2, have revolutionized the prediction of biological macromolecule structures. AlphaFold2 enabled accurate predictions of structural domains and complex arrangements. However, computational models lack a clear metric for accuracy. This study explores whether computational models can match the crystallographic resolution of crystal structures. By comparing distances between atoms in models and crystal structures using t tests, it was found that AlphaFold2 models are comparable to high-resolution crystal structures (1.1 to 1.5 Å). While these models exhibit exceptional quality, their accuracy is lower than the crystal structure with resolutions better than 1 Å.

Ultra-high volume expansion ratio branched PBT/TPEE three-dimensional reticulated foams of supercritical CO2 melt foaming for efficient oil/water separation

The development of polymer reticulated foams with high expansion ratios (VER) for selective oil-adsorption applications has been hindered by technical challenges. In this article, high VER reticulated foam with outstanding selective oil-adsorption performance was realized through the synergistic effect of molecular topological structure and blending heterostructure. Branched polybutylene terephthalate(B-PBT)/thermoplastic polyester elastomer(TPEE) was prepared by blending reaction. Then, B-PBT/TPEE blends were foamed by supercritical CO2 melting foaming, a solvent-free process. The nano-scale TPEE, acting as the weak point, induced the cell wall to rupture and form reticulated foam after the B-PBT had expanded to a high VER. The branching topological structure endowed PBT high storage modulus(G’) and complex viscosity(η*), which support the expansion of foam and keep foam from collapsing before the melt solidification. As a result, ultra-high VER three-dimensional reticulated foams possessing VER of 46.9 and open-cell content of 97.8 % were prepared, which is higher about 200 % than the previous research. The water contact angle of reticulated foams is 132° and cyclohexane droplets diffuse into reticulated foam showing the contact angle of 0°, indicating the reticulated foam have oleophilicity and hydrophobicity. The adsorption capacity of the reticulated foam for various oils is from 24 to 67 g/g. Moreover, the adsorption rate constant of reticulated foam is 8 times more than that of conventional open-cell foam. These benefits from the unique cell structure and high VER of reticulated foam. The work provides a facile and novel method for the green preparation of high-performance oil/water separation materials.

Analysis of polyclonal and monoclonal antibody to the influenza virus nucleoprotein in different oligomeric states.

Influenza virus nucleoprotein (NP) is one of the most conserved influenza proteins. Both NP antigen and anti-NP antibodies are used as reagents in influenza diagnostic kits, with applications in both clinical practice, and influenza zoonotic surveillance programs. Despite this, studies on the biochemical basis of NP diagnostic serology and NP epitopes are not as developed as for hemagglutinin (HA), the fast-evolving antigen which has been the critical component of current influenza vaccines. Here, we characterized the NP serology of mice, ferret, and human sera and the immunogenic effects of NP antigen presented as different structural complexes. Furthermore, we show that a classical anti-NP mouse mAb HB65 could detect NP in some commercial influenza vaccines. MAb HB65 bound a linear epitope with nanomolar affinity. Our analysis suggests that linear NP epitopes paired with their corresponding characterized detection antibodies could aid in designing and improving diagnostic technologies for influenza virus.

Investigation of Structural Peculiarities of Smooth Muscle Titin Aggregates, Formed under Different In Vitro Conditions, by Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy.

Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy were used to investigate structural peculiarities of two types of amyloid aggregates of smooth muscle titin, which differed in their morphology and ability to disaggregate, and differently bound thioflavin T dye. SAXS showed that the structure/shape of the two titin aggregate types was close to a flat shape. FTIR spectroscopy revealed no differences in the secondary structure of the two types. These data suggest that both types of "flat-shape" titin aggregates are identical in their secondary structure and, as shown previously, have a quaternary cross-β structure. An assumption was made that the most stable supramolecular complexes of a cross-β structure, which do not differ in their secondary structure, formed first during the aggregation of smooth muscle titin. Then, depending on ambient conditions, these supramolecular structures could form titin aggregates of different morphology and properties.

Endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial encounter structure regulates the mitochondrial morphology, DON biosynthesis and toxisome formation in Fusarium graminearum

The endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondrial encounter structure (ERMES) complex is known to play crucial roles in various cellular processes. However, its functional significance in filamentous fungi, particularly its impact on deoxynivalenol (DON) biosynthesis in Fusarium graminearum, remains inadequately understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the regulatory function of the ERMES complex in F. graminearum. Our findings indicate significant changes in mitochondrial morphology of ERMES mutants, accompanied by decreased ATP content and ergosterol production. Notably, the toxisome formation in the ERMES mutant ΔFgMDM10 was defective, resulting in a substantial reduction in DON biosynthesis. This suggests a pivotal role of ERMES in toxisome formation, as evidenced by the pronounced inhibition of toxisome formation when ERMES was disrupted by boscalid. Furthermore, ERMES deficiencies were shown to diminish the virulence of F. graminearum towards host plants significantly. In conclusion, our results suggest ERMES is an important regulator of mitochondrial morphology, DON biosynthesis, and toxisome formation in F. graminearum.

A structural and functional model for alkene dioxygenases

In this article, we report sterically-controlled iron sites based on non-chelating bulky imidazole ligands. Adding 6 equiv. of 1,2-dimethylimidazole (1,2-Me2Im) to Fe(OTf)2⋅2CH3CN affords the first example of a 5-coordinate imidazole‑iron complex ([Fe(1,2-Me2Im)5](OTf)2, 1). The structure is distorted square pyramidal (τ5 = 0.41). When an iPr group is substituted for the methyl group at the 2-position on the imidazole (2-iPr-1-MeIm), the 14-electron complex ([Fe(2-iPr-1-MeIm)4](OTf)2, 2) is obtained. This complex exhibits slightly distorted tetrahedral geometry (τ'4 = 0.93) with four N-donors and serves as a 4-His iron structural model complex for carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCD). The electronic structure of 1 and 2 were characterized by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Reactions of 1 and 2 with model olefin substrates (1-R-4-(1-methoxyprop-1-en-2-yl)benzene; R = Me or Br) in the presence of oxygen result in olefin cleavage yielding ketone and aldehyde products, although 2 yields more products than 1. Support for a proposed reaction mechanism for 2 is offered from Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations.

Review of Wind Field Characteristics of Downbursts and Wind Effects on Structures under Their Action

Downbursts belong to sudden, local, and strong convection weather, which present significant destruction for structures. At any given time, there are approximately 2000 thunderstorms occurring on the Earth. Many studies have investigated the effects of downbursts on different structures. However, the extensive range of varying wind field parameters and the diverse representations of wind speeds render the study of structural wind effects complex and challenging under downbursts. This study firstly reviews the research of wind field properties of downbursts according to four common approaches, and the major findings, advantages, and disadvantages of which are concluded. Then, failure analysis of transmission line systems under stationary and moving downbursts is explored. The article also reviews the wind pressure on the roof of different kinds of low-rise buildings, and some dominant parameters, namely roof slope, distance of building from downburst center, wind direction angle, and so on, are discussed. Moreover, the wind effects caused by downbursts on high-rise buildings and some specialized structures are also considered because more and more wind hazards are related to downbursts. Finally, the limitations of the current study are pointed out, and recommendations for further research are given for the accurate assessment of the effects of wind on buildings, with a view to providing safer and more economical wind-resistant design solutions for structures.

Exploring the synthesis, structure and properties of two phenoxy-bridged polynuclear Cu(II) and Ni(II) complexes containing salamo-based bicompartmental ligand

A salamo-based bicompartmental ligand H4L was successfully prepared, which self-assembled with copper(II) and nickel(II) salts in stoichiometric ratios of 1:2 to construct polynuclear copper(II) and nickel(II) complexes: [Cu2(HL)(NO3)(H2O)] (1) and [Ni4(μ-HL)2(μ-OAc)2]⋅2CH3COCH3 (2). Complex 1 contains one partially deprotonated (HL)3− part, two copper(II) atoms, one coordinated monodentate nitrate ion and one coordinated water molecule. Each copper(II) center is located in the geometric structure of square pyramidal. While complex 2 is composed of four nickel(II) atoms, two ligand (HL)3− parts, and two bridging μ-OAc− anions. The differently structural complexes acquired may be attributed to the different solvents and anions used in the synthesis process. Whether or not 3-hydroxyl group of salicylaldehyde unit in H4L is involved in the coordination further influences the diversification of the structures of the complexes. The reaction sites and intermolecular interactions were further evaluated by MEPs, IRI, Hirshfeld surface and finally the fluorescence properties were explored.

Heightened incidence of adverse events associated with a live attenuated varicella vaccine strain that lacks critical genetic polymorphisms in open reading frame 62

ObjectivesThis study aimed to identify the specific vaccine strain associated with herpes zoster (HZ) in children following a series of diagnosed cases and to explore whether differences in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) among various vaccine strains are linked to an increased incidence of herpes zoster after vaccination. MethodsFrom February 2021 to March 2024, children <12 years old suspected of vaccine-related varicella-like rash or HZ were included. Varicella zoster virus DNA isolated from the patients were sequenced to differentiate vaccine type versus wild-type. 3D protein structures of pORF62 were simulated using open reading frame 62 sequences extracted from whole genome sequencing of vOka, MAV/06, Oka/SK vaccines, and pOka reference. ResultsA total of 27 children with a median age of 2.1 (interquartile range, 1.5–3.4) years old presented with vaccine-related varicella-like rash (n = 4/27, 14.8%) or HZ (n = 23/27, 85.2%). One patient with varicella-like rash and 34.8% (n = 8/23) with HZ had disseminated skin involvement. All were immunized with the Oka/SK strain varicella vaccine. Genotyping showed 88.2% (n = 15/17) had SNPs specific to the Oka/SK strain, and two had SNPs considered pOka type contained within the Oka/SK vaccine. Despite accumulations of SNPs in ORF 62 of Oka/SK, the translated amino acid sequence and 3D protein structure were identical to wild-type pOka's pORF62. In vOKA and MAV/06, changes in amino acids occurred at two positions, S628G and R958G, within pORF62. The predicted 3D protein structure of vOka and MAV/06's pORF62 showed that the α helical structure within region I undergoes conformational change, potentially increasing difficulties in interactions with infection-related proteins and thereby decreasing virulence. pORF62 in pOka and Oka/SK exhibited more stable structure complex of the α helical structure. DiscussionLack of structural alternations in region I of pORF62 due to the absence of critical genetic polymorphisms in open reading frame 62 could be associated with the heightened incidence of adverse events.

P-076 Role of N-DRC complex in male fertility

Abstract Study question There are many causes of human infertility, what’s the role of Nexin-dynein regulatory complex (N-DRC) in male fertility? Summary answer Many gene mutants in N-DRC components have been identified in infertile men, which affect the assembly of N-DRC complex and cause defects of sperm. What is known already human infertility affects 10–15% of couples, asthenozoospermia accounting for 18% of infertile men and is a common male infertility phenotype. Nexin-dynein regulatory complex (N-DRC) is a large protein complex regulating device in the flagellum and connects adjacent doublets of microtubules (DMTs). Some N-DRC components were reported to be associated with human disease, such as Primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD). In recent years, more and more studies reported mutants in subunits of N-DRC are related to male infertility. For example, DRC1, DRC5 and DRC3 mutant were identified in patients displayed multiple morphological abnormalities of the flagella (MMAF) and obstructive azoospermia. Study design, size, duration We searched articles about N-DRC and male infertility in pumped and select research studies and the tidied up the gene mutants, gene knock out mouse modals and IVF outcomes of different N-DRC components in infertile men. Besides, we summarized the parameters of semen and ultrastructure of sperm flagella in these patients. Participants/materials, setting, methods We searched articles about N-DRC and male infertility in pumped and select research studies and the tidied up the gene mutants, gene knock out mouse modals and IVF outcomes of different N-DRC components in infertile men. Main results and the role of chance N-DRC is a highly conserved structural complex located in the axoneme of the flagellum and cilium, containing at least 11 different subunits (DRC1∼DRC11). Patients who were diagnosed as MMAF and male infertility carrying homozygous DRC1 mutants. TEM analyses of the patients’ sperm revealed the flagellar axoneme structure is disordered. A frameshift mutant of DRC5 was identified in an infertile male with asthenozoospermia, but the patient’s problem of infertility could be successfully solved by vitro Fertilization (IVF). A recent study identified two bi-allelic DRC3 frameshift variants in two unrelated patients, one patient displayed MMAF and the other present obstructive azoospermia. The sperm flagella function of DRC5 deletion mice was abrogated but flagellum ultrastructure remained normal and the mice behaved as asthenozoospermia and sterile. DRC3, DRC7 and DRC9 knockout mice exhibit MMAF and male infertility, and in DRC7 KO mice, the axoneme of sperm is disorganized and it was difficult to detect the ‘9 + 2’ microtubule structure. DRC1 mutant mice on the C57BL/6 background died before puberty, KO DRC6 in mice neither has no obvious effects on sperm motility function nor destroy the “9 + 2” arrangement of microtubules in cilia, and male mice was fertile. Limitations, reasons for caution More samples of MMAF and asthenozoospermia men to sequence N-DRC gene, and track their assisted reproductive outcomes. Wider implications of the findings The conclusions in our study uncover certain mechanism of N-DRC deficient in MMAF and asthenozoospermia phenotype, which could provide a new basis for diagnosis of male infertility.

New evidence from high-resolution computed microtomography of Triassic stem-mammal skulls from South America enhances discussions on turbinates before the origin of Mammaliaformes

The nasal cavity of living mammals is a unique structural complex among tetrapods, acquired along a series of major morphological transformations that occurred mainly during the Mesozoic Era, within the Synapsida clade. Particularly, non-mammaliaform cynodonts document several morphological changes in the skull, during the Triassic Period, that represent the first steps of the mammalian bauplan. We here explore the nasal cavity of five cynodont taxa, namely Thrinaxodon, Chiniquodon, Prozostrodon, Riograndia, and Brasilodon, in order to discuss the main changes within this skull region. We did not identify ossified turbinals in the nasal cavity of these taxa and if present, as non-ossified structures, they would not necessarily be associated with temperature control or the development of endothermy. We do, however, notice a complexification of the cartilage anchoring structures that divide the nasal cavity and separate it from the brain region in these forerunners of mammals.

The Geomechanics of the Dangkhar Landslide, Himachal Pradesh, India

The Dangkhar Landslide is an extremely large landslide located in the Spiti Valley of Himachal Pradesh, India. The landslide is situated in a remote high mountain desert within the Tethys Himalaya at elevations between 3400 m and 5600 m. It is amongst the five largest continental landslides on earth, covering an area of approximately 54 km2 and having an estimated volume of 15–20 km3. Geomechanical evaluations based on the block theory indicate that the Dangkhar Landslide formed as a result of unfavorable combinations of structural geological features and complex surface morphology. A massive kinematically removable block is created by a regional synclinal flexure that is crosscut and kinematically liberated by bounding side valleys. Three-dimensional block kinematics are necessary to permit the release of the giant block and its sliding along the synclinal flexure. Pseudostatic slope stability sensitivity analyses incorporating estimates of site seismicity and shear strength parameters suggest that earthquake shaking could have triggered instability if the static factor of safety was less than or in the range of about 1.5–1.9. Considering the glacial history of the region, ice debuttressing represents an additional potential triggering mechanism.

Generalized nonlinear hybrid-norm parallel sparse filtering for bearing fault diagnosis under complex interference

Abstract Considerable attention has been garnered by the bearing fault diagnostic method, founded on sparse feature learning, for its exceptional robustness and adaptability to noise. Being an effective sparse learning method, parallel sparse filtering (PSF) has found successful applications in intelligent fault diagnosis. However, influenced by mechanical structural collisions and complex transmission paths, the obtained bearing signals come with abnormal impacts and noise, resulting in a reduced reliability of the PSF. Additionally, PSF constrains features and samples with l 1 / 2 norm, which is significantly disturbed by noise. To address these issues, generalized nonlinear hybrid-norm PSF (GNHNPSF) is proposed. Firstly, the Sigmoid nonlinear function is examined to suppress the amplitude of the anomalous shock. Subsequently, the hybrid-norm constraints, which involve the application of a l 1 / 2 norm to the column features of the input signal and a l 1 / 3 norm to the row features, can be employed to effectively extract distinctive information from the original data. The GNHNPSF is demonstrated to improve the accuracy of bearing fault diagnosis under complex interference, as evidenced by the results of simulation and experiments.

Genome Sequencing for Diagnosing Rare Diseases

BackgroundGenetic variants that cause rare disorders may remain elusive even after expansive testing, such as exome sequencing. The diagnostic yield of genome sequencing, particularly after a negative evaluation, remains poorly defined.MethodsWe sequenced and analyzed the genomes of families with diverse phenotypes who were suspected to have a rare monogenic disease and for whom genetic testing had not revealed a diagnosis, as well as the genomes of a replication cohort at an independent clinical center.ResultsWe sequenced the genomes of 822 families (744 in the initial cohort and 78 in the replication cohort) and made a molecular diagnosis in 218 of 744 families (29.3%). Of the 218 families, 61 (28.0%) — 8.2% of families in the initial cohort — had variants that required genome sequencing for identification, including coding variants, intronic variants, small structural variants, copy-neutral inversions, complex rearrangements, and tandem repeat expansions. Most families in which a molecular diagnosis was made after previous nondiagnostic exome sequencing (63.5%) had variants that could be detected by reanalysis of the exome-sequence data (53.4%) or by additional analytic methods, such as copy-number variant calling, to exome-sequence data (10.8%). We obtained similar results in the replication cohort: in 33% of the families in which a molecular diagnosis was made, or 8% of the cohort, genome sequencing was required, which showed the applicability of these findings to both research and clinical environments.ConclusionsThe diagnostic yield of genome sequencing in a large, diverse research cohort and in a small clinical cohort of persons who had previously undergone genetic testing was approximately 8% and included several types of pathogenic variation that had not previously been detected by means of exome sequencing or other techniques.

Exploring Differences and Evolution of Coordination Level of the Industrial Structure, Economy and Ecological Environment Complex System in Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei Urban Agglomeration

Industrial structure (IS), economy (EC), and ecological environment (EE) could influence each other and constitute a complex system (IS-EC-EE). This study is to explore the differences and evolution of the coordination level of the IS-EC-EE complex system of 13 cities in the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei (BTH) urban agglomeration by coupling coordination degree model, Markov chain, GM (1,1) model, Dagum Gini coefficient, and Kernel density estimation method to provide a reference for regional sustainable development. The results show that the comprehensive evaluation index of IS, EC, and EE had significant differences among the 13 cities in the BTH region. The IS-EC-EE system of the whole BTH region was in a highly coupled and low-coordinated development state. And the coordination degrees of the 13 cities in the BTH region had spatial differences, which were mainly due to inter-regional differences, and the differences became larger. Furthermore, the coordinated development of the 13 cities had the probability of keeping high, moderate, and low coordination. It was predicted that the coordination degree of the IS-EC-EE system in the whole BTH region in 2020–2030 was roughly similar to the trend in 2009–2019. The coordination levels of Beijing and Tianjin were higher than in Hebei Province, so optimizations need to be considered for regional overall sustainable development.
