Supersaturation: The barrier between protein folding and misfolding

The study describes a dynamic link between correct protein folding and amyloid fibril formation, highlighting the threshold of supersaturation that must be overcome. Supersaturation is a fundamental concept that advances the field of protein folding and may contribute to therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases.

Nitrogen saturation in US Midwest lakes

Researchers discovered that 85.8% of lake water samples were supersaturated with nitrogen gas, suggesting a lack of balance between nitrogen inputs and fixation. The findings highlight the need for terrestrial nitrogen sources to mitigate nitrogen loss in the lakes.
