We show that the spin-wave spectrum in an elliptical helix has a band character. The size of the first band gap calculated using the perturbation theory is shown to scale as square root of the eccentricity. Curved magnonic waveguides of the kind considered here could be used as structural elements of future three-dimensional magnonic architectures.

Spectroscopic and calorimetric study of the interaction between Nile blue and double-stranded RNA.

Nile blue has been widely used in histological staining, fluorescence labeling, and DNA probing, with its intercalation behavior into the DNA helix being well documented. Here, we present a comprehensive investigation to address a current knowledge gap regarding the binding properties of Nile blue to two types of double-stranded RNA (dsRNA): poly(A·U) and poly(I·C), using various biophysical techniques. Absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies suggest a significant binding interaction between Nile blue and the two designated dsRNAs, specifically indicating an intercalation binding mode with poly(A·U) and demonstrating a noticeably higher binding affinity compared to poly(I·C).

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) show structural changes stimulated by changes in external conditions. This study aims to reveal the temperature dependence of the structure and the dynamics of the intrinsically disordered region of the helicase-associated endonuclease for fork-structured DNA, one of the typical IDPs, using an integrative approach. Small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and circular dichroism (CD) studies revealed that the radius of gyration and ellipticity at 222 nm remained constant up to 313-323 K, followed by a decline above this temperature range.

Ionic liquids (ILs) have become an alternative green solvent for storage and for stability of DNA. However, an in-depth understanding of binding and molecular interactions between ILs and DNA is needed. In this respect, magnetic ILs (MILs) are promising due to their tunable physicochemical properties.

The B domain of protein A (BdpA), a small three-helix bundle, folds on a time scale of a few microseconds with heterogeneous native and unfolded states. It is widely used as a model for understanding protein folding mechanisms. In this work, we use structure-based models (SBMs) and atomistic simulations to comprehensively investigate how BdpA folding is associated with the formation of its secondary structure.
