The gentle grip of a helping hand

Using NMR spectroscopy, Zhao and colleagues, in this issue, have modeled the short-lived complex formed between the MT1-MMP hemopexin domain and a synthetic triple-helical collagen mimetic. Their model is consistent with two alternative mechanisms for the breakdown of collagen by the enzyme

New mammutid proboscidean teeth from the Middle Miocene of tropical and southern Africa

The genus Zygolophodon is widespread but rare in Middle Miocene deposits of Eurasia, and until recently it was not reliably reported from sub-Saharan Africa. Most previous records of the genus in the latter continent are based on specimens of another proboscidean Eozygodon morotoensis. In 1985 a tooth from Tunisia was attributed to Zygolophodon and in 2002 four teeth from Egypt were attributed to the same genus, while in 2005 a fragment of lower third molar was found at Daberas Mine, Orange River, Namibia, and two upper molars were found in the Ngorora Formation, Tugen Hills, Kenya. The purpose of this note is to describe and interpret the Ngorora molars. Two newly discovered specimens of Eozygodon morotoensis from Uganda complete the paper
