The ST Pinch: A Side Chain-to-Side Chain Hydrogen-Bonded Motif
The ST Pinch is a 12-membered hydrogen-bonded motif (Ser/Thr-Xaa-Ser/Thr) involving the side chain oxygen atoms of two Ser/Thr residues. We identified the ST Pinch in 104 proteins in a database containing high-resolution crystal structures.

Bitter to better – how to make Bitcoin a better currency
Abstract Bitcoin is a distributed digital currency which has attracted a substantial number of users. We perform an in-depth investigation to understand what made Bitcoin so successful, while decades of research on cryptographic e-cash has not lead to a large-scale deployment. We ask also how Bitcoin could become a good candidate for a long-lived stable…
