What will it take to make aviation climate neutral?
Although currently left out of international climate agreements, the aviation sector - if left unmitigated - could jeopardize achieving the Paris agreement. We explored what climate neutrality means for the aviation sector and assessed the magnitude of the necessary efforts.
Exploiting the temporal dimension of hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass-spectrometry to localise protein-protein interactions
Our paper describes a method to more accurately extract structural information about protein-protein interactions from hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS).
Can biodiversity reduce the negative effects of the co-occurrence of multiple pressures?
Multiple anthropogenic pressures can occur simultaneously, which is caused for concern because multifaceted pressures could lead to dramatic declines in ecosystem functions. Can biodiversity help to buffer the negative effects of the co-occurrence of multiple pressures? Read this report for details.
An expanded view on the evolution of olfaction
Evolution of olfactory perception is often thought to arise through protein changes in odorant receptors that alter the molecules that they bind. We found that adaptive evolution in olfactory perception also arises through coexpressed receptors that change in copy number and protein sequence.
