Allosteric regulation accompanied by oligomeric state changes of Trypanosoma brucei GMP reductase through cystathionine-β-synthase domain

Nature Communications, 2020
Trypanosoma brucei guanosine 5′-monophosphate reductase (TbGMPR) catalyses the conversion of GMP to inosine 5′-monophosphate and contains a cystathionine-β-synthase (CBS) domain. Here the authors combine X-ray crystallography and kinetic measurements and

Quantum‐Level Influences on Enzyme Reactions and Their Ripple Effects on Biological Phenomena

Advanced Physics Research, EarlyView.
Because living organisms are ultimately composed of atoms and molecules, quantum‐mechanical effects are expected to contribute to biological phenomena. Quantum biology seeks to elucidate life processes from a quantum‐mechanical perspective. This review discusses how quantum‐level effects, including quantum tunneling, may propagate from enzymatic proton‐

Translating Blue Light Stimulation From Batch to Perfusion: Process and Intracellular Metabolic Analysis

Biotechnology and Bioengineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Improving cell‐specific productivity remains a central objective in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. In this study, the effect of blue light illumination on IgG1‐producing CHO DP‐12 cells was systematically evaluated across batch, fed‐batch, and perfusion cultivations in controlled 3 L bioreactor systems.

Oocyte–cumulus cell interaction: a key factor in early embryo development

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The evaluation of oocyte competence is a fundamental step in achieving successful outcomes following assisted reproduction techniques (ART). At present, however, conventional oocyte maturation assessment is carried out by morphological observation, which is a subjective method that does not consider molecular features.

RNA‐centric world of retroviruses: unravelling the molecular strategies of genomic RNA packaging

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Retroviruses constitute a unique group of RNA viruses that have profoundly influenced both evolutionary trajectories and biomedical research. Their ability to reverse transcribe and integrate into host genomes has shaped genomic architecture across species and contributed to our understanding of oncogenes, gene regulation, and RNA biology ...

An Electrophilic Uridine Building Block for Post‐Synthetic RNA Modification as Exemplified for Spin Labeling

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
An electrophilic 5‐isothiocyanatomethyl uridine building block enables modular post‐synthetic RNA labeling with primary amine‐containing probes. Positioning the functionality in the major groove minimizes structural perturbation and allows facile conjugation of sensitive tags such as TEMPO spin labels for paramagnetic relaxation enhancement studies ...
