topical reviewPreparing research samples for safe arrival at Centers and Facilities: recipes for successful experiments
Shipping of biomacromolecules to synchrotrons, cryoEM and sample-preparation facilities is often overlooked and has the potential to erase months and years of hard work. Here, guidelines and procedures are provided to ensure that samples arrive intact and safely to their destination.
research communications (RC)The impact of exchanging the light and heavy chains on the structures of bovine ultralong antibodies
Complementary-determining region 3 (CDR3) of the light chain interacts with the extended CDR3 of the paired heavy chain in bovine ultralong antibodies. Exchanging light chains between two different ultralong antibodies induced a small axial twist in the CDR3H β-ribbon stalk region; however, comparative crystallographic interface analysis indicates that the ultralong loops have flexibility and their positioning is affected by crystal packing.
