Functional Activity and Binding Specificity of Small Ankyrin Repeat Proteins Called Ankyrons Against SARS-CoV-2 VariantsNARA Subscribed
Effective management of COVID-19 requires clinical tools to treat the disease in addition to preventive vaccines. Several recombinant mAbs and their cocktails have been developed to treat COVID-19 but these have limitations. Here, we evaluate small ankyrin repeat proteins called Ankyrons that were generated to bind with high affinity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Ankyrons are ankyrin repeat proteins comprised of repetitions a struc...
A global reconnaissance of particulates and metals/metalloids in untreated drinking water sourcesNARA Subscribed
Metal and metalloid contamination in drinking water sources is a global concern, particularly in developing countries. This study used hollow membrane water filters and metal-capturing polyurethane foams to sample 71 drinking water sources in 22 different countries. Field sampling was performed with sampling kits prepared in the lab at Hope College in Holland, MI, USA. Filters and foams were sent back to the lab after sampling...
Trends in tuna carbon isotopes suggest global changes in pelagic phytoplankton communitiesNARA Subscribed
Considerable uncertainty remains over how increasing atmospheric CO 2 and anthropogenic climate changes are affecting open‐ocean marine ecosystems from phytoplankton to top predators. Biological time series data are thus urgently needed for the world's oceans. Here, we use the carbon stable isotope composition of tuna to provide a first insight into the existence of global trends in complex ecosystem dynamics and changes in th...
TRY plant trait database – enhanced coverage and open accessNARA Subscribed
Plant traits—the morphological, anatomical, physiological, biochemical and phenological characteristics of plants—determine how plants respond to environmental factors, affect other trophic levels, and influence ecosystem properties and their benefits and detriments to people. Plant trait data thus represent the basis for a vast area of research spanning from evolutionary biology, community and functional ecology, to biodivers...
Soil multifunctionality and drought resistance are determined by plant structural traits in restoring grasslandNARA Subscribed
It is increasingly recognized that belowground responses to vegetation change are closely linked to plant functional traits. However, our understanding is limited concerning the relative importance of different plant traits for soil functions and of the mechanisms by which traits influence soil properties in the real world. Here we test the hypothesis that taller species, or those with complex rooting structures, are associate...
