These results indicate that amino acid change from Ala to Asp at position 234 led to a functional impairment of Bat1, although homology modeling suggests that Asp234 in the variant Bat1 did not inhibit enzymatic activity directly. KEY POINTS • Yeast cells expressing Bat1A234D exhibited a slower growth phenotype. • The Val and Leu levels were dec…[Read more]

Mexican-hat-like band dispersion is extremely critical to the realization of hole-doping-induced magnetism in monolayer metal monochalcogenides. However, it is absent from transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), i.e., WSe2. Herein, using first-principles calculations, we show that Mexican-hat-like band dispersion can be achieved by applying…[Read more]
