	The self-assembly nano dots are disordered and near Gaussian in size distribution and the coverage ratio on Si wafer can achieve to 37%.Moreover,CaCl2nano dots can keep integrity for more than one month in arbitrary relative humidity at room temperature,stable enough for practical use. Evaporation coated CaCl2 can cover uneven surface and make the nanopillars planted at unpolished Si wafer to avoid high polishing ...

	Liu, from Stanford Synchrotron Radiation Lightsource, and his cooperators developed a Fast Discrete Wavelet Transform based algorithm for extending the DOF by analyzing the image stack taken in a sample scan along the optical train. With the extended depth of focus, it is possible to obtain 3D structural information over a large volume. The feasibility of the method is confirmed with experimental data collected us...

	A joint-team from China Agriculture University has gained insight into the mysterious structure and function of MoSub1,the Sub1 homology from rice blast fungus. The structure of the protein shows high structure similarity with the structure of PC4 and has a similar dimer interface and DNA binding region to PC4,indicating that MoSub1 could bind DNA using the same motif as other proteins of the Sub1/PC4 family. The ...

	The Maikun Teng and Liwen Niu groups from University of Science and Technology of China collected a set of 2.5□□ diffraction data of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Cdc73 under the assistance of the staff on beamline 3W1A of the Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility and solved the structure by using the heavy atom iodine anomalous scattering data. Arndt,Andrew P. Article：Hongkai Chen,Nuo Shi,Yongxiang Gao,Xu Li,Maiku...

	RNA-binding properties of NTD and CTD characterized by both gel electrophoresis mobility shift assays and isothermal titration calorimetry showed NTD could bind RNA independently and RNA binding was achieved by NTDaccomplished by coordinating role of CTD. Single wavelength anomalous data(SAD)from seleno-RlmG crystals were collected on the beamline station 3W1A of BSRF and the RlmG-AdoMet comolex structure was dete...

	The fully activated RSK is thus able to phosphorylate downstream substrates to modulate diverse cellular processes. Xiao-Dong Su from Peking University has gained insight into the structure and function of human RSK1 CTKD. (a)Superimposition of ATP binding cleft of RSK1 CTKD(cyan)and PKA(orange。 The missing regions are indicated by dotted lines. The atomic structure of human RSK1 CTKD is of great interest for the...
