DirectContacts2: a wiring diagram of human physical protein interactions

Erin R. Claussen, Miles D Woodcock-Girard, Susan M. Fischer, Kevin Drew

Abstract Cellular function is driven by the activity of proteins in stable complexes. Protein complex assembly depends on the direct physical association of component proteins. Advances in macromolecular structure prediction with tools like AlphaFold and RoseTTAFold have greatly…Read more

Carbohydrate-active enzymes of soil prophages enhance global carbon cycling potential

Hanpeng Liao, Chaofan Ai, Chen Liu, Hongbo Zhang, Dong Zhang, Pengfa Li, et al.

Recent work suggests that soil-borne viruses play an important role in controlling carbon (C) cycling and stocks. However, the contribution of individual prophage (i.e., temperate phages residing within bacterial hosts during lysogenic cycle) to C degradation remains largely undo…Read more

Universal Planckian dissipation in the strange metal state of the cuprates

Arkady Shekhter, B. J. Ramshaw, M. K. Chan, N. Harrison

A major puzzle in high-Tc superconductivity is the origin of the “Planckian” relaxation rate 1/τ underlying the linear-in-temperature resistivity in the strange-metal state, which persists up to very high temperatures. Implicit in theoretical discussions is the assumption that 1/…Read more

A natural solution from caterpillar cuticles for flexible impact-resistant materials

Fenghou Yuan, Hu S, Zihan Pang, Yuntian Cui, Xuliang Qian, Chaowei Shi, et al.

Flexible impact-resistant materials are essential for defense, transportation, and biomedical engineering due to their ability to combine strength, energy dissipation, and compliance. While nature offers robust solutions like beetle elytra or mantis shrimp hammers, designing mate…Read more

Deployable 3D architectures from wafer-fabricated precursors

Yue Wang, Kelvin Shum, Yuyang Song, Tian Chen

Abstract We demonstrate that standard wafer fabrication can produce free-standing, mechanically stable, doubly-curved 3D structures with prescribed Gaussian curvature — a capability not previously achieved through semiconductor manufacturing. The stability of the deployed structu…Read more
