is a mold fungus that has gained attention for its positive correlation with soil health, plant growth, and applications as a crop biocontrol agent to suppress the threats of nematode pests. To date, the mechanisms underlying the protective traits of against these plant parasites have remained elusive. Here we report that abundantly produced peptidic biosurfactants, malpinin A-D, exhibit robust inhibitory activity against nematodes.

  • A network analysis revealed a group photo of Rebekka Aleida Biegel and two friends with Albert Einstein at a tea party in Zurich, dated June 30, 1913, using advanced techniques like AI and OSINT.
  • Researchers identified the women and a man in the photo, uncovering their significant roles in contributing to Einstein's work on relativity, highlighting their historical importance.
  • The study also solved long-standing mysteries surrounding the photographs, shedding light on a crucial period in scientific history and emphasizing the contributions of often-overlooked women in physics.

Solving the protein folding problem….

FEBS Lett

The protein folding problem was, to paraphrase Churchill, 'A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma'. The riddle, in this context, was the folding code; what interactions at the amino acid level are driving the folding process? The mystery was the kinetic question (Levinthal's paradox); how does the folding process occur so quickly (typically in timescales ranging from μS to mS)? Finally, the enigma represents the computational problem of developing approaches to predict the final folded sate of a protein given only its amino acid sequence. Herein, I trace the path to solving this riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs), the remnants of ancient germline retroviral integrations, comprise almost 8% of the human genome. The elucidation of their biological roles is hampered by our inability to link HERV mRNA and protein production with specific HERV loci. To solve the riddle of the integration-specific RNA expression of HERVs, several bioinformatics approaches have been proposed; however, no single process seems to yield optimal results due to the repetitiveness of HERV integrations.
