Alphaviruses are mosquito borne RNA viruses that are a reemerging public health threat. Alphaviruses have a broad host range, and can cause diverse disease outcomes like arthritis, and encephalitis. The host ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS) plays critical roles in regulating cellular processes to control the infections with various viruses, including alphaviruses.

Ir reflecting layers of different thicknesses on various substrates are calculated and fabricated by the ion-beam-sputtering technique. Their reflectance in the 115 nm to 140 nm wavelength region was measured continuously by a reflectometer located at the National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory.

The reflectance of Au films on quartz glass substrates with an approximately 2 nm binding layer of Ti, Cr, and Ir are estimated and fabricated. Their reflectance in the 115-140 nm wavelength region are measured continuously by the reflectometer located in the National Synchroton Radiation Laboratory.
