Identifying and characterising a plant GH1 β‐glucosidase that exhibits hydrolytic activity on N‐linked glucopyranoside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...

Experimental analysis of alternative rider postures for low drag motorcycle design

Transportation Research Interdisciplinary Perspectives
The aerodynamic drag of a motorcycle greatly affects its energy efficiency, with the rider’s posture being a key factor in determining overall drag. This study presents a systematic comparative analysis of various rider postures through a multi-phase ...

IMPROVING THE AERODYNAMIC EFFICIENCY OF WIND GENERATORS

 Wind power is one of the fastest-growing renewable energy sectors, but its overall performance depends heavily on aerodynamic design. This paper discusses methods to enhance the aerodynamic efficiency of wind turbines through blade optimization, active flow control, and adaptive pitch regulation systems.

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Heterotropic regulation and negative homotropic cooperativity

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We identified a structural module common to some proteins that couple negative cooperativity with heterotropic regulation, two features that rarely coexist. These proteins are ring‐like and present an ordered asymmetry whereby noncontacting subunits are symmetric, and their tertiary structure differs from that of contacting subunits.

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

Artificial Intelligence and Mental Well‐Being in Adult Education: Implications for Practice and Professional Responsibility

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Mental well‐being is central to adult learner success, yet many adult education institutions lack capacity to provide timely and accessible support. This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) can strengthen mental health–adjacent supports in adult and continuing higher education, with attention to professional practice and ...

Empowering Adult Learning How AI Fuels Progress Across Disciplines and Professions

New Directions for Adult and Continuing Education, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformative cognitive partner across educational and professional fields. It explores how AI shifts attention away from routine technical tasks and toward human‐centered skills such as critical thinking, ethical decision‐making, and professional judgment.
