Prokaryotic PfaB is a terminal acyltransferase that determines the final PUFA product

open access: yesProtein Science, Volume 35, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Omega‐3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential for human health due to their numerous beneficial biological properties. These compounds are synthesized in marine bacteria and eukaryotic microalgae by PUFA megasynthases (Pfas), which are evolutionarily related to fatty acid synthases (FAS) and polyketide synthases (PKS). In FAS, PKS,

Making Blank Faces Expressive: Chemical Approaches to the Modification of Chemically Inert Peptides

open access: yesJournal of Peptide Science, Volume 32, Issue 3, March 2026.
As an alternative to the conventional approach, which combines amino acid monomers in a one‐by‐one fashion to peptide derivatives, the chemical modification of existing peptides has attracted significant attention in recent years. However, such approaches generally target the reactive functional groups in cysteine and lysine residues, particularly in ...

Effect of α‐Hydrazino Acids on the Performance of H‐Pro–Pro‐Xaa Catalysts in the Conjugate Addition of Aldehydes to Nitroolefins

open access: yesChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 11, 18 March 2026.
The tripeptide Pro‐Pro‐D‐hVal‐OMe, which lacks an acidic group, catalysed the conjugate addition of aldehydes to nitroolefins and afforded γ‐nitroaldehydes in 79–97% yield and 88:14–93:7 e.r. The proposed reaction mechanism relies on the active role of hydrazide NHβ or NHα protons in hydrogen bonding with the reacting species.

A Programmable Eukaryotic Argonaute Nuclease with Dual DNA and RNA Cleavage Activity from Thermophilic Fungus Thermochaetoides thermophila

open access: yesSmall Science, Volume 6, Issue 3, March 2026.
This work demonstrates a unique eukaryotic Argonaute nuclease, TtpAgo, from Thermochaetoides thermophila DSM 1495 that can be programmed with either DNA or RNA guides and can cleave both DNA and RNA targets at mesophilic temperatures in vitro. TtpAgo binds 12–30 nt long 5′P or 5′OH guide molecules without strict sequence specificity, thus provides a ...
