Emulsion technology has been successfully applied to the fields of next-generation high-throughput sequencing, protein engineering and clinical diagnostics. Here, we extend its scope to proteomics research by developing and characterizing a method, termed iCLIP (in vitro compartmentalized linkage of interacting partners), which enables genes encoding interacting protein pairs to be linked in a single segment of DNA. This will facilitate archiving of the interactomes from library versus library two-hybrid screens as libraries of linked DNAs. We further demonstrate the ability to interrogate a model yeast two-hybrid iCLIP library for interactants by "PCR-pulldown," using a primer specific to a gene of interest along with a universal primer. iCLIP libraries may also be subjected to high-throughput sequencing to generate interactome information. The applicability of the technique is also demonstrated in the related context of the bacterial two-hybrid system.

Protein quality control (PQC) mechanisms including the ubiquitin (Ub)-proteasome system (UPS), autophagy, and chaperone-mediated refolding are essential to maintain protein homeostasis in cells. Recent studies show that these PQC mechanisms are further modulated by biomolecular condensates that sequester PQC components and compartmentalize reactions. Accumulating evidence points towards the PQC machinery playing a pivotal role in regulating the assembly, disassembly, and viscoelastic properties of several condensates.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers developed a method to create circularly polarized luminescence materials with adjustable colors by using charge-transfer complexation in chiral supramolecular polymers.
- By varying the strength of charge transfer between specific molecules, they achieved a wide range of luminescent colors from blue to red, depending on the polymer structure.
- The team also found that mixing different luminescent materials in micelles can produce white-light circularly polarized luminescence, enhancing the potential applications in 3D displays and photonics.
The effects of HIV self-testing on HIV incidence and awareness of status among men who have sex with men in the United States: Insights from a novel compartmental model.

Background: The OraQuick In-Home HIV self-test represents a fast, inexpensive, and convenient method for users to assess their HIV status. If integrated thoughtfully into existing testing practices, accompanied by efficient pathways to formal diagnosis, self-testing could enhance both HIV awareness and reduce HIV incidence. However, currently available self-tests are less sensitive, particularly for recent infection, when compared to gold-standard laboratory tests.

Acid-base disorders are currently analyzed and treated using a bicarbonate-centered approach derived from blood studies prior to the advent of digital computers, which could solve computer models capable of quantifying the complex physicochemical nature governing distribution of water and ions between fluid compartments. An alternative is the Stewart approach, which can predict the pH of a simple mixture of ions and electrically charged proteins; hence, the role of extravascular fluids has been largely ignored. The present study uses a new, comprehensive computer model of four major fluid compartments, based on a recent blood model, which included ion binding to proteins, electroneutrality constraints, and other essential physicochemical laws.

This paper studies containment policies for combating a pandemic in an open-economy context. It does so via quantitative analyses using a model that incorporates a standard epidemiological compartmental model in a general equilibrium multi-country, multi-sector Ricardian model of international trade with input-output linkages. We quantitatively evaluate the long-run welfare and real-income losses due to the short-run pandemic shocks, and we study the role of trade in these effects.
