In situ identification of secondary structures in unpurified Bombyx mori silk fibrils using polarized two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy

This study uses polarized 2D infrared spectroscopy to identify secondary structures in Bombyx mori silk fibrils without peak fitting, showing hydration affects random-coil and -helix content but not beta-sheet content.

The giant staphylococcal protein Embp facilitates colonization of surfaces through Velcro-like attachment to fibrillated fibronectin

This paper identifies Embp as a key protein in S. epidermidis that enables surface colonization by specifically binding fibrillated fibronectin through multi-valent interactions.

The Ice Nucleating Protein InaZ is Activated by Low Temperature

This study investigates how the ice-nucleating protein InaZ from Pseudomonas syringae folds and interacts with water at low temperatures, revealing structural changes that enhance ice nucleation.
