A team co-led by Prof. Huaimin Wang at Westlake University has developed Bip-FK9, a clever self-assembling peptide system that traps and destroys superbugs like a bed of needles—with zero resistance observed across 30 generations. 👉 https://go.nature.com/4AiCUde

Modular peptide nanofibres that self-assemble on bacterial membranes overcome antimicrobial resistance - Nature Biomedical Engineering

A modular peptide technology that self-assembles into nanofibres on bacterial surfaces through a membrane-anchoring biphenyl group, a diphenylalanine linker and a cationic peptide enables disruption of drug-resistant pathogens.

🐭 The mouse Y chromosome has numerous tandem repeats. Now Yu Lab at Westlake University has generated a telomere-to-telomere assembly: mT2T-Y, a 95.21-Mbp sequence from a 2-week-old C57BL/6 male mouse. 🐭 More details published in Science: https://bit.ly/3UN0VsK

The complete telomere-to-telomere sequence of a mouse Y chromosome

The mouse Y chromosome is essential for male reproduction, yet the GRCm39 reference contains 25 gaps, particularly in repetitive and complex regions. Here, we assembled a telomere-to-telomere Y chromo...

New research from @zhichangliu.bsky.social group at Westlake University, published in Nature Communications @nature.com , reveals an unexpected strain–reactivity relationship: stretching a cis-C=C bond decelerates ring-opening metathesis. go.nature.com/4qAuQQR

Stretching decelerates ring-opening metathesis at cis-olefins in stressed molecular bows - Nature Communications

Ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of strained cycloalkenes emerged as an approach for synthesizing macromolecular materials but the ROMP of C=C bonds upon stretching remains unexplored. He...
