We have grown high quality magnetite microcrystals conserving bulk magnetic properties below 20 nm thickness. The observed domain configurations are dictated purely by shape anisotropy thus demonstrating the possibility of designing spin structures in ultrathin, magnetically soft magnetite at will.

PBP2x is an essential transpeptidase in Streptococcus pneumoniae, critical for septal peptidoglycan synthesis during cell division. Recognition of nascent peptidoglycan at an allosteric site located in the PASTA domains of this enzyme predisposes penetration of peptidoglycan into the active site for turnover events.
