The Secret to Satiety Unveiled by Seoul National University Researchers!
Prof. Hyung Jin Choi
Professor Hyung Jin Choi's research team from the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at Seoul National University has announced that they have identified the mechanism by which 'glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1)' based obesity treatments reduce body weight for the first time in the world.

![Chemical RNA digestion enables robust RNA-binding site mapping at single amino acid resolution](/webdata/boardimages/enhighlight/bbaz9afzbcaz424za7dz2d8z4a6zf89z521z503zd0.jpg)
Chemical RNA digestion enables robust RNA-binding site mapping at single amino acid resolution
School of Biological Sciences V. Narry Kim, Jong-Seo Kim
Abstract RNA-binding sites (RBSs) can be identified by liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry analyses of the protein–RNA conjugates created by crosslinking, but RBS mapping remains highly challenging due to the complexity of the formed RNA adducts. Here, we introduce RBS-ID, a method that uses hydrofluorid...
![Causal mechanism of injection-induced earthquakes through the Mw 5.5 Pohang earthquake case study](/webdata/boardimages/enhighlight/020zb26z6dez720zc11z687z7aaz667zd6az0ccze2.jpg)
Causal mechanism of injection-induced earthquakes through the Mw 5.5 Pohang earthquake case study
Prof. Lee, KangKun, School of Earth and Environmental Sciences
Causal mechanisms for fluid injection-induced earthquakes remain a challenge to identify. Past studies largely established spatiotemporal correlations. Here, we propose a multi-process causal mechanism for injection-induced earthquakes through a case study of the 2017 Mw 5.5 induced earthquake near Pohang Enhanced Geot...
![Modeling and Simulation of a Fully-glycosylated Full-length SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein in a Viral Membrane](/webdata/boardimages/enhighlight/399zae7z79bz835zef7zdf3zff4zb07zc07z7bczf0.jpg)
Modeling and Simulation of a Fully-glycosylated Full-length SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein in a Viral Membrane
Prof. Chaok Seok
This technical study describes all-atom modeling and simulation of a fully-glycosylated fulllength SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein in a viral membrane. First, starting from PDB:6VSB and 6VXX, full-length S protein structures were modeled using template-based modeling, de-novo protein structure prediction, and loop modelin...

Graphene quantum dots as anti-inflammatory therapy for colitis
Prof. Kyung-Sun Kang
Abstract While graphene and its derivatives have been suggested as a potential nanomedicine in several biomimetic models, their specific roles in immunological disorders still remain elusive. Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) may be suitable for treating intestinal bowel diseases (IBDs) because of their low toxicity in vivo...
![The stone-base illusion](/webdata/boardimages/enhighlight/898zcc6z9b0z620zb56z437z05ez880zcddza98z4f.jpg)
The stone-base illusion
Prof. Songjoo Oh
Abstract A popular method used to construct the post structure in traditional Korean buildings is simply placing a stone base on the ground in the natural form and a wooden post on top of the stone base. Interestingly, an illusory visual completion often occurs at the joint where the stone base and the post join. Thus,...
![A discrete core-shell-like micro-light-emitting diode array grown on sapphire nano-membranes](/webdata/boardimages/enhighlight/779z048zbcdzf4ez912z5caz5f5z226z948z151z7f.jpg)
A discrete core-shell-like micro-light-emitting diode array grown on sapphire nano-membranes
Prof. Euijoon Yoon
Abstract A discrete core-shell-like micro-light-emitting diode (micro-LED) array was grown on a 100 nm-thick sapphire nano-membrane array without harmful plasma etching for chip singulation. Due to proper design for the sapphire nano-membrane array, an array of multi-faceted micro-LEDs with size of 4 μm × 16 μm was gro...
![Critical differences in 3D atomic structure of individual ligand-protected nanocrystals in solution](/webdata/boardimages/enhighlight/915z2e7z4ccz5eaz781zf39zaebzce4z619z156z8c.jpg)
Critical differences in 3D atomic structure of individual ligand-protected nanocrystals in solution
Prof. Jungwon Park
Seeing subtle nanoparticle differences A challenge in the fabrication of nanoparticles is that even for particles of uniform size, there will still be a distribution in the atomic arrangements and surface capping ligands from one particle to the next. Using liquid-cell transmission electron microscopy, Kim et al. recon...

Mitochondrial plastid DNA can cause DNA barcoding paradox in plants
Prof. Tae-Jin Yang
The transfer of ancestral plastid genomes into mitochondrial genomes to generate mitochondrial plastid DNA (MTPT) is known to occur in plants, but its impacts on mitochondrial genome complexity and the potential for causing a false-positive DNA barcoding paradox have been underestimated. Here, we assembled the organell...
