Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

The vertical-structure heterojunction has been highlighted as a promising candidate for the solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) photodetector (PD) due to the control of its channel length and the strong ...

N-doped carbon materials represent a type of metal-free catalyst for diverse organic synthetic reactions. However, single N-doped carbon materials perform insufficiently in the selective oxidation ...
