Article Synopsis
- Protein structure is crucial for understanding protein function and characterization, with new tools from DeepMind and the Baker lab enabling prediction of the entire human proteome's 3D structures.
- The Sequence Coverage Visualizer (SCV) is introduced to assist researchers in visualizing protein sequence coverage and integrating structural insights into proteomics experiments.
- SCV enhances the utility of proteomics data by allowing for the visualization of post-translational modifications and comparisons of different protein structures, thereby aiding in the accuracy of protein structure predictions.
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex assembly of proteins that constitutes the scaffold organizing cells, tissues, and organs. Over the past decade, mass-spectrometry-based proteomics has become the method of choice to profile the composition of the ECM, or the matrisome, of tissues. To assist non-specialists with the reuse of ECM proteomic datasets, we released MatrisomeDB (https://matrisomedb.

- Understanding electric dipole switching in multiferroic materials, particularly in LiNbO-type polar magnets, requires examining atomic-scale structural changes, which remains poorly defined in high-pressure synthesized samples.
- The discovery of Zn-ion splitting in the ZnFeNbO compound, validated through various diffraction techniques, highlights the presence of a paraelectric-like phase within its lattice and prompts a reevaluation of A-site atomic splitting in other similar compounds.
- The study concludes that A-site splitting is common in LiNbO-type structures with mixed B-site or anionic configurations, with the extent of displacement being influenced by magnetic interactions and bonding dynamics between cations.
Article Synopsis
- Designing exotic perovskites has been difficult due to inadequate geometric descriptors and costly high-pressure synthesis processes, which complicate the understanding of their properties.
- A new data-mining approach is proposed to streamline the discovery of exotic perovskites, focusing on the 'O family, including the polar magnet CoTeO.
- CoTeO shows promising characteristics, such as magnetic transitions and unique spin structures, achieved at high pressure, suggesting the method could speed up the discovery of new materials across different families.
The corundum-related oxides MnScNbO and MnScTaO were synthesized at high pressure and high temperature (6 GPa and 1475 K). Analysis of the synchrotron powder X-ray diffraction shows that MnScNbO and MnScTaO crystallize in NiTeO-type noncentrosymmetric crystal structures with space group 3. The asymmetric crystal structure was confirmed by second harmonic generation measurement.
