    Abstract A series of calculations has been conducted to study the high-speed interaction of space debris (SD) particles with screens of finite thickness. For the first time, taking into account the fracture effects, a numerical solution has been obtained for the problem of high-velocity interaction between SD particles and a volumetrically reinforced penetrating composite screen. The calculations were performed using the REACTOR 3D software package in a three-dimensional setup. To calibrate the material properties of homogeneous screens made of aluminum alloy A356, stainless steel 316L, and multilayer screens, methodical load calculations were carried out. The properties of materials have been verified based on experimental data through systematic calculations of the load on homogeneous screens made of aluminum alloy A356, stainless steel 316L, and multilayer screens comprising a combination of aluminum and steel plates. Several options for the numerical design of heterogeneous screens based on A356 and 316L were considered, including interpenetrating reinforcement with steel inclusions and a gradient distribution of steel throughout the thickness of an aluminum matrix. The study has revealed that the screens constructed as a two-layer composite of A356/316L, volumetrically reinforced composite screens, and heterogeneous screens with a direct gradient distribution of steel in the aluminum matrix provide protection for devices from both a single SD particle and streams of SD particles moving at speeds of up to 6 km/s. SD particles were modeled as spherical particles with a diameter of 1.9 mm made of the aluminum alloy Al2017-T4 with a mass of 10 mg.

    Abstract In modern mechanical engineering, technical ceramics is finding increasing use. It has unique anti-corrosion properties and resistance to high temperatures. In most cases, the processing modes and characteristics of abrasive (diamond) wheels are selected experimentally, since there is no modeling of processing processes in the public domain. The article presents an experimental study of the surface of dissimilar materials under the influence of heat flow from the friction force of grinding wheel grains. The comparison of calculated indicators and the results of laboratory studies is given. It is concluded that the heat flow from the friction forces of the grains on the material does not cause the destruction of the polished surface. It is also shown that the flow density due to varying modes of grinding

    Abstract Serum albumin is a circulatory transport protein that has a highly conserved sequence and structure across mammalian organisms. Its ligand-binding properties are of importance as albumin regulates the pharmacokinetics of many drugs. Due to the high degree of structural conservation between mammalian albumins, nonhuman albumins such as bovine serum albumin or animal models are often used to understand human albumin-drug interactions. Ketoprofen is a popular nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is transported by albumin. Here, it is revealed that ketoprofen exhibits different binding-site preferences when interacting with human serum albumin compared with other mammalian albumins, despite the conservation of binding sites across species. The reasons for the observed differences were explored, including identifying ketoprofen binding determinants at specific sites and the influence of fatty acids and other ligands on drug binding. The presented results reveal that the drug-binding properties of albumins cannot easily be predicted based only on a complex of albumin from another organism and the conservation of drug sites between species. This work shows that understanding organism-dependent differences is essential for assessing the suitability of particular albumins for structural or biochemical studies.

    Abstract An application of angular X-ray cross-correlation analysis (AXCCA) to the scattered intensity distribution measured in 3D reciprocal space from a single-crystalline sample is proposed in this work. Contrary to the conventional application of AXCCA, when averaging over many 2D diffraction patterns collected from different randomly oriented samples is required, the proposed approach provides an insight into the structure of a single specimen. This is particularly useful in studies of defect-rich samples that are unlikely to have the same structure. The application of the method is shown on an example of a qualitative structure determination of a colloidal crystal from simulated as well as experimentally measured 3D scattered intensity distributions.

    Abstract Refinement of macromolecular X-ray crystal structures involves using complex software with hundreds of different settings. The complexity of underlying concepts and the sheer amount sof instructions may make it difficult for less experienced crystallographers to achieve optimal results in their refinements. This tutorial review offers guidelines for choosing the best settings for the reciprocal-space refinement of macromolecular models and provides practical tips for manual model correction. To help aspiring crystallographers navigate the process, some of the most practically important concepts of protein structure refinement are described. Among the topics covered are the use and purpose of R-free, geometrical restraints, restraints on atomic displacement parameters (ADPs), refinement weights, various parametrizations of ADPs (full anisotropic refinement and TLS), and omit maps. We also give practical tips for manual model correction in Coot, modelling of side-chains with poor or missing density, and ligand identification, fitting, and refinement.

    Abstract Pump-probe experiments at synchrotrons and free-electron lasers to study ultrafast dynamics in materials far from equilibrium have been well established, but techniques to investigate equilibrium dynamics on the nano- and pico-second timescales remain underdeveloped and experimentally challenging. A promising approach relies on a double-probe X-ray speckle visibility spectroscopy setup at split-and-delay beamlines of X-ray free-electron lasers. However, the logistics in consistently producing two collinear, perfectly overlapping pulses necessary to conduct a faithful experiment is difficult to achieve. In this paper, a method is introduced to extract contrast in the case where an angular misalignment and imperfect overlap exists between the two pulses. Numerical simulations of a dynamical system show that contrast can still be extracted for significant angular misalignments accompanied by partial overlap between the two pulses.

    Abstract The appearance at the end of 2019 of the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus led to an unprecedented response by the structural biology community, resulting in the rapid determination of many hundreds of structures of proteins encoded by the virus.
