The signal transduction system that mediates bacterial chemotaxis allows cells to modulate their swimming behavior in response to fluctuations in chemical stimuli. Receptors at the cell surface receive information from the surroundings. Signals are then passed from the receptors to cytoplasmic chemotaxis components: CheA, CheW, CheZ, CheR, and CheB. These proteins function to regulate the level of phosphorylation of a response regulator designated CheY that interacts with the flagellar motor switch complex to control swimming behavior. The structure of CheY has been determined. Magnesium ion is essential for activity. The active site contains highly conserved Asp residues that are required for divalent metal ion binding and CheY phosphorylation. Another residue at the active site, Lys109, is important in the phosphorylation-induced conformational change that facilitates communication with the switch complex and another chemotaxis component, CheZ. CheZ facilitates the dephosphorylation of phospho-CheY. Defects in CheY and CheZ can be suppressed by mutations in the flagellar switch complex. CheZ is thought to modulate the switch bias by varying the level of phospho-CheY.

The continuous expansion of wireless communication application scenarios demands the active tuning of electromagnetic (EM) metamaterials, which is essential for their flexible adaptation to complex EM environments. However, EM reconfigurable systems based on intricate designs and smart materials often exhibit limited flexibility and incur high manufacturing costs. Inspired by mechanical metastructures capable of switching between multistable configurations under repeated deformation, we propose a planar kirigami frequency selective surface (FSS) that enables mechanical control of its resonant frequency.

Phosphorescent sensors are essential for rapid visual sensing of volatile acids, due to their profound impact on ecosystems and human health. However, solid phosphorescent materials for acid-base stimulus response are still rare, and it is important to achieve real-time monitoring of volatile acids. In order to obtain an efficient and rapid response to volatile acid stimulation, N-H and -NH substituents are introduced into an auxiliary ligand to synthesize a new cationic Ir(III) complex ().

The high-pressure die-casting process can effectively manufacture aluminium alloy castings with complex shapes and thin wall thicknesses. However, due to the complex flow characteristics of the liquid metal during the mould-filling process, there are significant differences in the mechanical properties of different parts of the casting. This paper analyses the effect of the high-speed ram transition position on porosity and mechanical properties of Al-Si-Mn-Mg aluminium alloys in the high-pressure die-casting (HPDC) process, comparing the 1160 mm and 1200 mm positions.
