Microorganisms are essential for life on Earth, performing key roles in numerous biological processes. Their influence extends across a wide spectrum, from human health and ecological balance to advancements in biotechnology and industrial applications. Th ...

Aquatic ecosystems continue to be threatened by chemical pollution. To what extent organisms are able to cope with chemical exposure depends on their ability to display mechanisms of defense across different organs. Among these mechanisms, biotransformatio ...

Assigning or proposing a catalysing enzyme given a chemical or biochemical reaction is of great interest to life sciences and chemistry alike. The exploration and design of metabolic pathways and the challenge of finding more sustainable enzyme-catalysed a ...

One of the main challenges hampering the development of kinetic models is the lack of kinetic parameters for many enzymatic reactions. Here, the authors introduce a framework to explore the catalytically optimal operating conditions of any complex enzyme m ...

This work demonstrated that consolidated bioprocessing is a promising concept for conversion of lignocellulose to ethanol at industrial scale. CBP offers great cost saving potential, is feasible to be operated continuously and may be scaled up due to exten ...

Sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) is a protein lysine deacylase enzyme that regulates diverse biology by hydrolyzing epsilon-N-carboxyacyllysine posttranslational modifications in the cell. Inhibition of SIRT5 has been linked to potential treatment of several cancers but ...

The immobilization of molecular catalysts imposes spatial constraints on their active site. We reveal that in bifunctional catalysis such constraints can also be utilized as an appealing handle to boost intrinsic activity through judicious control of the a ...

Chemical gas dispersion can represent a severe threat to human and animal lives, as well as to the environment. Constructing a map of the distribution of gas in a fast and reliable manner is critical to ensure accurate monitoring of at-risk facilities and ...

Transcription factor binding to a single binding site on DNA and its functional consequence in a promoter context are beginning to be relatively well understood. However, binding to clusters of sites has yet to be characterized in depth, and the functional ...

Organohalide respiration (OHR) is a bacterial anaerobic process that use halogenated compounds, e.g. tetrachloroethene (PCE), as terminal electron acceptors. D. restrictus strain PER-K23, an obligate OHR bacterium (OHRB), and D. hafniense strain TCE1, a ba ...

We present a lightweight goal-based model for multimodal, probabilistic trajectory prediction for urban driving. Previous conditioned-on-goal methods have used map information in order to establish a set of potential goals and then complete the correspondi ...

Lignin has emerged as an attractive alternative in the search for more eco-friendly and less costly materials for enzyme immobilization. In this work, the terephthalic aldehyde-stabilization of lignin is carried out during its extraction to develop a serie ...

In phenylketonuria, absence or malfunction of the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme results in toxic accumulation of phenylalanine in the body. An injectable recombinant enzyme therapy was recently approved and has the potential to improve the quality of li ...

Organohalides are a class of compounds often considered as persistent pollutants and harmful to environmental and human health. Some bacteria, among which are representatives from the Firmicutes phylum, are capable of using these compounds as terminal acce ...

The gut microbiome, often referred to as "super organ", comprises up to a hundred trillion microorganisms, and the species diversity may vary from person to person. They perform a decisive role in diverse biological functions related to metabolism, immunit ...

The detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2)-specific antibodies in the serum of an individual indicates previous infection or vaccination. However, it provides limited insight into the protective nature of this immune resp ...

Stereotyped as a nexus of dNTP synthesis, the dual-subunit enzyme - ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) - is coming into view as a paradigm of oligomerization and moonlighting behavior. In the present issue of `omics', we discuss what makes the larger subunit o ...

Living organisms can catalyze many thousands of biochemical reactions that they use to convert energy and matter, which provides them with the essentials for life. The sum of these chemical reactions happening in an organism is called metabo-lism. Understa ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is characterized by progressive degeneration of motor neurons. Astrocytes from diverse ALS models induce motor neuron death in co-culture. Enhancing NAD(+) availability, or increasing the expression of the NAD(+)-depende ...

New drugs are needed to assure effective therapies for previously untreated diseases, emerging diseases, and personalized medicine, but the process of drug development is complex, costly, and time-consuming. This is especially problematic considering that ...
