Allosteric regulation allows proteins to dynamically respond to environmental cues by modulating activity at sites away from the catalytic center. Despite its importance, the SET-domain protein lysine methyltransferase superfamily has been understudied. Here, we present four crystal structures of SMYD2, a unique family member with a MYND domain.

Article Synopsis
  • The LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment is a significant scientific study using a dual-phase xenon chamber located underground in South Dakota to search for dark matter interactions.
  • The study extends existing theories to include relativistic effects, providing new constraints on the interactions between weakly interacting massive particles and nucleons based on their electric and magnetic dipole moments.
  • Results include 90% confidence level limits on the coupling strength of five different interactions, analyzed over a specific energy range, which advances our understanding in particle physics beyond previous nonrelativistic effective field theories.

Background: Child maltreatment is a global issue in need of intervention. This study investigated whether SafeCare, an evidence-based behavioral parenting program to prevent child neglect and physical violence, is desired and feasible to implement in Haiti birthing centers.

Methods: A total of four focus groups were conducted with 29 birthing center staff and mothers in two birthing centers in Haiti.

Introduction: The response to medical management of young dogs with osteoarthritis (OA) associated pain has not been evaluated. Using an open-label design, the effectiveness, over a 4-month period, of standardized management (grapiprant/fish oil/exercise) for treating OA pain in young dogs was evaluated.

Methods: Included dogs were 9 months-4 years of age; ≥3.

Background: This article presents the culmination of a multiyear research project aimed at creating a comprehensive food literacy framework and corresponding measure. Specifically, this article documents the development and validation of a food literacy measure for young people facing social inequities.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify items to measure 12 attributes of food literacy; test the measure with the identified target groups, considering attribute, face, and content validity, inter-rater reliability and test-retest reliability; and refine the measure.
