Cryo-Electron Microscopy Structures of Yeast Alcohol Dehydrogenase

Sai Rohit Guntupalli et al.

Summary: Structures of yeast alcohol dehydrogenase revealed asymmetry in dimer formation, but cryo-electron microscopy studies showed that this asymmetry does not exist in the subunits, indicating their independent activity. Different complexes have distinct subunit states and zinc coordination, with Arg-340 and Glu-67 playing a role in conformational changes. The study provides insights into the catalytic mechanism through both cryo-EM and X-ray crystallography.

CryoDRGN: reconstruction of heterogeneous cryo-EM structures using neural networks

Ellen D. Zhong et al.

Summary: cryoDRGN is an algorithm that uses the representation power of deep neural networks to directly reconstruct continuous distributions of 3D density maps and map per-particle heterogeneity of single-particle cryo-EM datasets. It can uncover residual heterogeneity in high-resolution datasets and visualize large-scale continuous motions of protein complexes, while also offering interactive tools for dataset visualization and analysis.

Fast Molecular Compression by a Hyperthermal Collision Gives Bond-Selective Mechanochemistry

Lukas Krumbein et al.

Summary: Through electrospray ion beam deposition and scanning tunneling microscopy, researchers observed bond-selective reactions between complex molecules and metal surfaces at low, hyperthermal translational energy levels. The collision impulse compresses the molecules and bends specific bonds, driving the system to seek thermally inaccessible reactive pathways, resulting in reaction products that are unobtainable thermally due to the fast compression timescale compared to the thermalization timescale.

Tunable Heteroassembly of a Plant Pseudoenzyme-Enzyme Complex

Irina Novikova et al.

Summary: Pseudoenzymes play key regulatory roles in various kingdoms of life despite their lack of catalytic activity. Research on pseudoenzyme-enzyme pairs has revealed that the similarity between the two subunits can often complicate conventional characterization approaches. Studies have shown that associations between pseudoenzyme-enzyme pairs result in heterocomplexes of variable stoichiometry, providing insight into a new model of pseudoenzyme-enzyme interactions and their native heterogeneity.

Multiplexing of Electrospray Ionization Sources Using Orthogonal Injection into an Electrodynamic Ion Funnel

Pei Su et al.

Summary: In this study, an efficient approach to multiplex electrospray ionization sources for applications in analytical and preparative mass spectrometry is reported. By implementing up to four orthogonal injection inlets on the opposite sides of an electrodynamic ion funnel interface, the total ion current transmitted through the mass spectrometer and the signal-to-noise ratio increase significantly. The results demonstrate the potential for proportional increase in ion current with the number of ESI inlets, presenting exciting opportunities for the development of bright ion sources in mass spectrometry applications.
