A position and wave spectra dataset of Marginal Ice Zone dynamics collected around Svalbard in 2022 and 2023.

Sea ice is a key element of the global Earth system, with a major impact on global climate and regional weather. Unfortunately, accurate sea ice modeling is challenging due to the diversity and complexity of underlying physics happening there, and a relative lack of ground truth observations. This is especially true for the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ), which is the area where sea ice is affected by incoming ocean waves.

Integral Solvent-Induced Protein Precipitation for Target-Engagement Studies in .

The limited understanding of the mechanism of action (MoA) of several antimalarials and the rise of drug resistance toward existing malaria therapies emphasizes the need for new strategies to uncover the molecular target of compounds in . Integral solvent-induced protein precipitation (iSPP) is a quantitative mass spectrometry-based (LC-MS/MS) proteomics technique. The iSPP leverages the change in solvent-induced denaturation of the drug-bound protein relative to its unbound state, allowing identification of the direct drug-protein target without the need to modify the drug.

Studying Target-Engagement of Anti-Infectives by Solvent-Induced Protein Precipitation and Quantitative Mass Spectrometry.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a serious threat to global health. The rapid emergence of resistance contrasts with the slow pace of antimicrobial development, emphasizing the urgent need for innovative drug discovery approaches. This study addresses a critical bottleneck in early drug development by introducing integral solvent-induced protein precipitation (iSPP) to rapidly assess the target-engagement of lead compounds in extracts of pathogenic microorganisms under close-to-physiological conditions.

The role of facial cues in signalling cooperativeness is limited and nuanced.

Humans display a remarkable tendency to cooperate with strangers; however, identifying prospective cooperation partners accurately before entering any new relationship is essential to mitigate the risk of being exploited. Visual appearance, as inferrable, for example, from facial images on job portals and dating sites, may serve as a potential signal of cooperativeness. This experimental study examines whether static images enable the correct detection of an individual's propensity to cooperate.

Targeting IspD in the Methyl-d-erythritol Phosphate Pathway: Urea-Based Compounds with Nanomolar Potency on Target and Low-Micromolar Whole-Cell Activity.

The methyl-d-erythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway has emerged as an interesting target in the fight against antimicrobial resistance. The pathway is essential in many human pathogens, including (), but is absent in human cells. In the present study, we report on the discovery of a new chemical class targeting IspD, the third enzyme in the pathway.
