Infection with Lassa virus (LASV), an Old-World arenavirus that is endemic to West Africa,
causes Lassa fever, a lethal hemorrhagic fever. Delivery of LASV's genetic material into the …

Peptides with an N-terminal cysteine residue allow site-specific modification of proteins and
peptides and chemical synthesis of proteins. They have been widely used to develop new …

Recombinant protein production has revolutionized healthcare with biopharmaceutical
products dominating the pharmaceutical pipelines today. E. coli remains one of the most …

HIV-1 protease expression in the laboratory is demanding because of its high cytotoxicity,
making it difficult to express in bacterial expression systems such as Escherichia coli. To …

Tobacco etch virus protease (TEVp) is a useful tool for removing fusion tags, but wild-type
TEVp is less stable under oxidized redox state. In this work, we introduced and combined …

WRINKLED1 (WRI1) is an important transcription factor controlling lipid biosynthesis. To
elucidate the function of Dunaliella parva WRI1-like (WRI1-like)(ie, DpWRI1-like), the targets …

The human zinc‐and iron‐regulated transport protein 4 (hZIP4) protein is the major plasma
membrane protein responsible for the uptake of zinc in the body, and as such it plays a key …

Paramagnetic nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods have emerged as powerful tools
for structure determination of large, sparsely protonated proteins. However traditional …

α-Conotoxin LvIA is derived from Conus lividus, native to Hainan, and is the most selective
inhibitor of α3β2 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) known to date. In this study, an …

The RNA synthesis of porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a sophisticated process
performed by a multilingual viral replication complex, together with cellular factors. A key …
