Dynamic allostery in the peptide/MHC complex enables TCR neoantigen selectivity by Jiaqi Ma, Cory M. Ayres, Chad A. Brambley, Smita S. Chandran, Tatiana J. Rosales, W. W. J. Gihan Perera, Bassant Eldaly, William T. Murray, Steven A. Corcelli, Evgenii L. Kovrigin, Christopher A. Klebanoff, Brian M. Baker

“…Here we show that TCR discrimination between an HLA-A*03:01 (HLA-A3)-restricted public neoantigen and its wild-type (WT) counterpart emerges from distinct motions within the HLA-A3 peptide binding groove that vary with the identity of the peptide’s first primary anchor. …”

Fusarium oxysporum & Fusarium solani: Identification, Characterization, and Differentiation the Fungal Phenolic Profiles by HPLC and the Fungal Lipid Profiles by GC-MS by Nashwa M. Shalapy, Wenyi Kang

“…Moreover, lipid criteria of Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani extracts had been displayed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and their fatty acids had been identified to define the prolific species of the most biological and valuable fatty acids. In discrimination between phenols and flavonoids of Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium solani as natural biological constituents analyzed by HPLC, the methanolic extracts of Fusarium species revealed that phenols level was elevated in F. oxysporum than its level in F. solani as well flavonoids level was advanced in F. oxysporum compared to F. solani. …”
