Working in an animal biosafety level 2 facility （ABSL-2）, commonly used for research on infectious diseases, poses various biological hazards. Here, the regulations and standards related to laboratory biosafety in China are introduced, the potential biological hazards present in ABSL-2 facilities are analyzed, and a series of strategies to control the hazards are presented.展开更多

Among the helix-stabilizing strategies, the nucleation strategies are able to maximize recognition specificity of the original sequence without compromising the molecular recognition surface. In this review,current methodologies of helix nucleation are introduced including their constructing strategies, structure features and proof of concept biological applications.展开更多
