The efficiency of dynamic nanodevices using surface-immobilized protein molecular motors, which have been proposed for diagnostics, drug discovery, and biocomputation, critically depends on the ability to precisely control the motion of motor-propell...
Bacterial microcompartments (BMCs) are proteinaceous organelles widespread among bacterial phyla. They compartmentalize enzymes within a selectively permeable shell and play important roles in CO2 fixation, pathogenesis, and microbial ecology. Here, ...

Background Many governments have introduced tougher eligibility assessments for out-of-work disability benefits, to reduce rising benefit caseloads. The UK government initiated a programme in 2010 to reassess all existing disability benefit claimants...
The aggregation and fibril deposition of amyloid proteins have been implicated in a range of neurodegenerative and vascular diseases, and yet the underlying molecular mechanisms are poorly understood. Here, we use a combination of cell-based assays, ...
Scholars gain a deeper understand of identity and meaning in Stó:lō history by recognizing the role of ancestral names in Stó:l ō society — at “contact” in the nineteenth century, throughout the twentiethcentury, and in the twenty-first century. Curr...
Between 9 March and 21 March 1931 twelve men and two women, all French citizens from Guyane, were put on trial at an extraordinary session of the cour d’assises in Nantes. All were accused of looting and murder during riots which had taken place on 6...
We report on the results of small-scale excavations at the archaeological site of Kalambo Falls, northern Zambia. The site has long been known for its stratified succession of Stone Age horizons, in particular those representing the late Acheulean (M...
