Enhanced ionic conductivity of Ce-doped Na3Zr2Si2PO12 electrolyte for achieving superior performance of solid-state sodium batteries by Jiahui Liu, Zhaoyue Xia, Youli Chen, Daiwen Tao, Qilong Zhang

“…Herein, Ce with a relatively large ionic radius is employed to replace Zr in Na3Zr2Si2PO12 (NZSP), aiming to increase the ionic conductivity of the SSEs. Through structural analysis and theoretical calculations, it is inferred that Ce doping is favorable for stabilizing phases with higher ionic conductivity, increasing the Na+ concentration via the substitution of Zr4+ with Ce3+, and facilitating the generation of a densified microscopic morphology. …”

Effect of high-pressure on protein structure, refolding, and crystallization by Alberto Baldelli, Jiahua Shi, Anika Singh, Yigong Guo, Farahnaz Fathordoobady, Amir Amiri, Anubhav Pratap-Singh

“…In general, Le Chatelier's principle dictates the fate of high molecular weight polymeric compounds like proteins under high pressure, suggesting a tendency to degrade into simpler monomers. From a structural analysis point of view, this generally results in increased tendencies for the protein to denature from its native state and possibly affect its ability to renature. …”

Dynamic fibrillar assembly of αB-crystallin induced by perturbation of the conserved NT-IXI motif resolved by cryo-EM by Russell McFarland, Rozhan Noroozi, Adam P. Miller, Steve L. Reichow

“…Gaining insights into the principles defining their molecular organization and chaperone function have been hindered by intrinsic dynamic properties and limited high-resolution structural analysis. To disentangle the mechanistic underpinnings of these dynamical properties, we ablate a conserved IXI-motif located within the N-terminal (NT) domain of human αB-crystallin implicated in subunit exchange dynamics and client sequestration. …”
