The Structural Role of N-Glycosylation in interactions between Antibodies and Receptors Immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) is the most abundant circulating human antibody and also the most common scaffold for therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The destruction of IgG-coated targets by cell-mediated pathways begins with an interaction between the IgG Fc region and multiple varieties of membrane-bound Fc g receptors (FcgRs) on the surface of leucocytes. This interaction requires the presence of an asparagine-linked (N-)glycan on the Fc.

Applications of Molecular Dopants and Interface Modifiers for Electronic and Opto-Electronic Applications Organic, hybrid, and 2D materials have attracted interest for electronic applications due to their potential for use in low-cost, large-area, flexible electronic devices. Here we will report on recent developments pertaining to surface modifiers and dopants that could impact the charge injection/collection/transport processes in organic light emitting diodes, organic field effect transistors, and photovoltaic devices. Type of Event: Organic Seminar Read more about Applications of Molecular Dopants and Interface Modifiers for Electronic and Opto-Electronic Applications
Leveraging structural biology to dissect calcium modification of ion channel function In response to changes in calcium concentration, the intracellular calcium sensing protein calmodulin (CaM) alters the function of many proteins throughout the body. Many of these processes are important for normal physiology. Loss of function, miss-function, or untimely CaM function can cause or contribute to disease; some of which can be life threatening. There is a growing appreciation for the wide range of conformations and binding orientations CaM can utilize for interaction.
