Effects of six pyrimidine analogs on the growth of Tetrahymena thermophila and their implications in pyrimidine metabolism

This study examines the effects of six pyrimidine analogs on Tetrahymena thermophila growth and their mechanisms of action, finding that different analogs inhibit growth through distinct sites and that some effects are reversible with specific nucleobases or nucleosides.

Non-Covalently Associated Streptavidin Multi-Arm Nanohubs Exhibit Mechanical and Thermal Stability in Protein-Network Materials

This study characterizes non-covalently associated streptavidin nanohubs as stable protein-network materials with properties similar to chemically bonded hydrogels.

Serum-mediated cleavage of Bacillus anthracis Protective Antigen is a two-step process that involves a serum carboxypeptidase

The paper shows serum cleaves Bacillus anthracis Protective Antigen in two steps: first by splitting PA83 into PA63 and PA20, then removing terminal residues via carboxypeptidase.
