Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

pH‐mediated activation of the lysosomal arginine sensor SLC38A9
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cells monitor nutrient levels via the lysosomal transporter SLC38A9 to activate the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). This study reveals that SLC38A9 function is regulated by pH. We identified histidine 544 as a critical pH sensor that undergoes conformational changes to control amino acid efflux from lysosomes; therefore, it ...

Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2016 The title coordination polymer, [Ni(C7H3NO4)(C4H4N2)(C2H6OS)]n, consists of [010] chains composed of NiII ions linked by bis-monodentate-bridging pyrazine molecules. Each of the two crystallographically distinct NiII ions is located on a mirror plane and

Stacking tunable interlayer magnetism in bilayer CrI3
, 2019 Diverse interlayer tunability of physical properties of two-dimensional layers mostly lies in the covalent-like quasi-bonding that is significant in electronic structures but rather weak for energetics.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

(3Z)-3-Benzylidene-1H-benzimidazo[1,2-a]imidazol-2(3H)-one
IUCrData, 2016 In the title compound, C16H11N3O, the molecular conformation is partially determined by an intramolecular C—H...π(ring) interaction. In the crystal, pairwise N—H...N hydrogen bonds form dimers, which associate into stacks through a combination of C—H...O,
