Polymerization within a molecular-scale stereoregular template
Article Abstract:
The use of macromolecularly porous ultrathin films for the highly efficient stereoregular template polymerization of methacrylates through stereocomplex formation is discussed. The reaction mould results in accurate transfer of its structural properties of stereo-regularity, molecular weight and organization within the template to the new polymer.

The depolymerizing kinesin MCAK uses lattice diffusion to rapidly target microtubule ends
Article Abstract:
A study aims to understand how proteins target microtubule ends at rates exceeding those of standard enzyme-substrate kinetics by developing a single-molecule microscopy assay for MCAK, the founding member of the kinesin-13 family. The depolymerizing kinesin MCAK uses lattice diffusion to rapidly target microtubule ends.

The RickA protein of Rickettsia conorii activates the Arp2/3 complex
Article Abstract:
The Rickettsia conorii surface protein, RickA activates Arp2/3, which nucleates actin and generates a branched array of actin filaments is identified. The RickA-induced actin polymerization generates long actin filaments reminiscent present in filopodia.
