Peptide inhibitors of E3 ubiquitin ligase anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome, engineered for enhanced affinity by incorporating unnatural amino acids, are able to block substrate ubiquitination and drive degradation of a fused target.
Environmental chloride ions act as essential counterions that enable coral opsins to respond to visible light, and the polar residue Glu292 plays a critical role in chloride binding.
A novel point assignment method achieves 80% f1-score in single-neuron reconstruction across broad brain regions, enabling high-throughput brain-wide projection mapping.
