Angicin, a novel bacteriocin of Streptococcus anginosus

This paper identifies Angicin, a novel bacteriocin from Streptococcus anginosus, which exhibits broad antimicrobial activity and stability under various conditions.

Protease Resistance of ex vivo Amyloid Fibrils implies the proteolytic Selection of disease-associated Fibril Morphologies

The paper shows ex vivo amyloid fibrils are more protease stable than in vitro fibrils, supporting the proteolytic selection hypothesis for disease-associated fibril morphologies.

Negatively charged peptide nanofibrils from immunoglobulin light chain sequester viral particles but lack cell-binding and viral transduction-enhancing properties

The paper shows that negatively charged peptide nanofibrils from immunoglobulin light chain bind viral particles similarly to positively charged ones but do not enhance retroviral infection.

Amyloidogenic core of a human {lambda}-III immunoglobulin light chain fibril and their germline variants probed by MAS solid state NMR

This study uses MAS solid-state NMR to analyze the structure of amyloid fibrils from a human lambda-III immunoglobulin light chain and identifies a key mutation affecting fibril conformation.
