The solution properties of two different glycoforms of IgG1 (IgG1Cri and IgG1Wid) are compared using primarily sedimentation equilibrium analysis with two complementary analysis routines: SEDFIT-MSTAR and MULTISIG. IgGCri bears diantennary complex-type glycans on its Fc domain that are fully core fucosylated and partially sialylated, whilst on IgGWid, they are non-fucosylated, partially galactosylated and non-sialylated. IgGWid is also Fab glycosylated. Despite these differences, SEDFIT-MSTAR analysis shows similar weight average molar masses M of ~ (150 ± 5) kDa for IgGCri and ~ (154 ± 5) kDa for IgGWid and both glycoforms show evidence of the presence of a small fraction of dimer confirmed by MULTISIG analysis and also by sedimentation coefficient distributions from supportive sedimentation velocity measurements. The closeness of the sedimentation equilibrium behaviour and sedimentation coefficient distributions with a main peak sedimentation coefficient of ~ 6.4S for both glycoforms at different concentrations suggest that the different glycosylation profiles do not significantly impact on molar mass (molecular weight) nor conformation in solution.

BG is a novel bioactive peptide derived from bitter gourd (), known for its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. In the present study, our objective is to investigate the functional roles and mechanisms of BG in the context of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) was established by administering complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA).

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is an intracellular process widely used by cells for many key biological functions. It occurs in complex and crowded environments, where amino acids (AAs) are vital components. We have found that AAs render the net interaction between proteins more repulsive.

We present a two-phase field model and a hybrid particle-phase field model to simulate dilute colloidal sedimentation and flotation near a liquid-gas interface (or fluid-fluid interface in general). Both models are coupled to the incompressible Stokes equation, which is solved numerically using a combination of sine and regular Fourier transforms to account for the no-slip boundary conditions at the boundaries. The continuum two-phase field model allows us to analytically solve the equilibrium interfacial profile using a perturbative approach, demonstrating excellent agreement with numerical simulations.

Phosphorus lability across diverse agricultural contexts with legacy sources.

The buffering of phosphorus (P) in the landscape delays management outcomes for water quality. If stored in labile form (readily exchangeable and bioavailable), P may readily pollute waters. We studied labile P and its intensity for >600 soils and sediments across seven study locations in the United States.
