chaperones, can result in the accumulation of unfolded or misfolded proteins. This can put considerable stress on a cell. If enough cells experience excessive and prolonged stress this can result in tissue ... techniques employing neutrons. By illuminating samples with an intense beam of neutrons, scientists can interpret the subsequent scattering ...

proteins, KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC assemble to form the KaiABC complex. Cryogenic electron microscopy studies can identify most of the structure of this complex, but the KaiA protomers seem to be a bit too shy when ... This set-up is unique in the world, and it is thanks to the ILL's high-flux of neutrons that the data can be recorded before the ...

single-stranded positive sense RNA viruses named β-coronaviruses. SARS-CoV-2 and other β-coronaviruses can cause severe respiratory disease and are highly contagious. Despite this, a critical understanding ... involved in the fusion process) has not previously been conclusively identified. The Spike protein can mediate cell entry either via direct ...

such as Spike protein, responsible of receptor recognition. The fusion domain of the Spike, which can be divided in four Fusion Peptides (FP), is responsible for triggering the fusion between viral and

and polymers from haircare products with the hair surface. The hair has a complex structure, that can be described as a proteinaceous core covered by a lipid layer. The lipid type and density, though, ... the production of biomimetic surfaces, representative of the hair in the various conditions. This can be done by self-assembly on gold of ...

Single-event effects (SEEs), which are mainly induced by neutron particles, can be responsible for soft errors. SEEs are taken into account during design phase of Avionics Equipment to avoid impact on ... partnership, which has again demonstrated how collaboration between academic and industrial research can bring benefits to both: throughout the ...

measurements, the industry can better predict and control stresses in materials and thus optimize the design of components. It is also sustainable: those who know their materials well can reduce material consumption ... Neutron Center BNC (Budapest). There have always been various ways of working metals.
