Active Site-Induced Evolutionary Constraints Follow Fold Polarity Principles in Soluble Globular Enzymes

Matteo Dal Peraro, Luciano Andres Abriata, Alexander Mayorov

A recent analysis of evolutionary rates in >500 globular soluble enzymes revealed pervasive conservation gradients toward catalytic residues. By looking at amino acid preference profiles rather than evolutionary rates in the same data set, we quantified th ...

Potential-induced nanoclustering of metallic catalysts during electrochemical CO2 reduction

Nicola Marzari, Raffaella Buonsanti, Emad Oveisi, Anna Loiudice, Oliviero Andreussi, Jianfeng Huang, Nicolas Georg Hörmann, Gian Luca De Gregorio

In catalysis science stability is as crucial as activity and selectivity. Understanding the degradation pathways occurring during operation and developing mitigation strategies will eventually improve catalyst design, thus facilitating the translation of b ...

Growth kinetics and morphological analysis of homoepitaxial GaAs fins by theory and experiment

Anna Fontcuberta i Morral, Gözde Tütüncüoglu, Martin George Friedl, Lea Ghisalberti

Nanoscale membranes have emerged as a new class of vertical nanostructures that enable the integration of horizontal networks of III-V nanowires on a chip. To generalize this method to the whole family of III-Vs, progress in the understanding of the membra ...

Catchment drainage network scaling laws found experimentally in overland flow morphologies

David Andrew Barry, Andrea Rinaldo, Paolo Perona, Mohsen Cheraghi

The scaling relation between the drainage area and stream length (Hack’s law), along with exceedance probabilities of drainage area, discharge and upstream flow network length are well known for channelized fluvial regions. We report here on a laboratory e ...

Live observation of the oxidation of coated interconnects with environmental electron microscopy

Jan Van Herle, Cécile Hébert, Stéphane François Jean Poitel

Coatings on SOFC interconnect steels are complex and challenging to investigate due to the high number of chemical elements which are present and interact with each other. In this work, advanced electron microscopy techniques are used to study the steel ox ...

Quantifying the impact of a periodic presence of antimicrobial on resistance evolution in a homogeneous microbial population of fixed size

Anne-Florence Raphaëlle Bitbol, Loïc Marrec

The evolution of antimicrobial resistance generally occurs in an environment where antimicrobial concentration is variable, which has dramatic consequences on the microorganisms' fitness landscape, and thus on the evolution of resistance. We investigate th ...

Compliant universal grippers as adaptive feet in legged robots

Auke Ijspeert, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Simon Lukas Hauser

This work investigates the usage of compliant universal grippers as a novel foot design for legged locomotion. The method of jamming of granular media in the universal grippers is characterized by having two distinct states: a soft, fluid-like state which ...

Viral genetic variation accounts for a third of variability in HIV-1 set-point viral load in Europe

Jacques Fellay

HIV-1 set-point viral load-the approximately stable value of viraemia in the first years of chronic infection-is a strong predictor of clinical outcome and is highly variable across infected individuals. To better understand HIV-1 pathogenesis and the evol ...
