Investigation of the structure, assembly and function of protein-nucleic acid macromolecular machines requires multidimensional molecular and structural biology approaches. We describe modifications to an Orbitrap mass spectrometer, enabling high-resolution native MS analysis of 0.8- to 2.3-MDa prokaryotic 30S, 50S and 70S ribosome particles and the 9-MDa Flock House virus. The instrument's improved mass range and sensitivity readily exposes unexpected binding of the ribosome-associated protein SRA.

Human long bones exhibit pore size gradients with small pores in the exterior cortical bone and large pores in the interior cancellous bone. However, most current bone tissue engineering (BTE) scaffolds only have homogeneous porous structures that do not resemble the graded architectures of natural bones. Pore-size graded (PSG) scaffolds are attractive for BTE since they can provide biomimicking porous structures that may lead to enhanced bone tissue regeneration.

The preparation of planetary missions as well as the analysis of their data require a wide use of planetary simulants. They are very important for both testing mission operations and payloads, and for interpreting remote sensing data. In this work, a detailed analysis of three commercially available simulants of Martian dust and regolith is presented.

Article Synopsis
- Rapid advancements in mRNA technology require new analytical techniques, leading to the development of a novel method using ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography with high-resolution mass spectrometry (IP-RP-LC-HRMS) to analyze poly(A) and poly(T) tail lengths in mRNA's DNA template.
- The study involved validating the poly(A) tail length via Sanger sequencing, amplifying double-stranded DNA using PCR, and confirming sample quality through gel or capillary electrophoresis before extracting and analyzing the tails with LC-MS for precise length determination.
- The results showed that while LC-MS correlated well with Sanger sequencing, it also detected unexpected minor populations of poly(A) tails of varying lengths, suggesting potential
Deep-learning-based optical image decryption has attracted attention due to its remarkable advantages of keyless managements. Here, a high-fidelity deep learning (DL) decryption strategy is proposed, aiming for the asymmetric DRPE-based CGH cryptosystem, which is combined with phase truncation technique and chaotic iris phase masks. First, a mass of ciphertext and plaintext image pairs are generated to create a dataset.

A common method for optimizing curvilinear mask in optical proximity correction (OPC) flow is moving control points on the edge directly (MCED-based OPC), but it requires storing mass data. This paper uses distance-versus-angle signature (DVAS), a one-dimensional function, to represent a two-dimensional boundary of mask.
