A luciferase is used as biosensor for aldehydes, produced enzymatically from different monomeric building blocks of plastics like polyurethanes (PUs). The screening platform is used to monitor esterase, amidase, and urethanase activity and to guide the selection of enzyme variants with improved hydrolytic activities toward difficult to hydrolyze ...

Microarray analysis of spring barley cultivars displaying differing sensitivity to physiological leaf spot (PLS) [PDF]
peer-reviewedPhysiological leaf spot (PLS) is a disorder of spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), which has become more pronounced in recent years. The initial symptoms are small chlorotic/brown spots on the upper four leaves, which may develop into ...

Electrochemical Nitrate Reduction Reaction to Ammonia at Industrial‐Level Current Densities
This review starts from the mechanism and theoretical basis of electrochemical nitrate reduction reaction (NO3−RR), and systematically summarizes and discusses the design strategies of industrial‐level current density catalysts. In addition, the progress of industrial‐level NO3−RR‐based electrolyzers, including flow reactor and membrane electrode ...

The Plant Short-Chain Dehydrogenase (SDR) superfamily:genome-wide inventory and diversification patterns [PDF]
Background Short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) form one of the largest and oldest NAD(P)(H) dependent oxidoreductase families. Despite a conserved 'Rossmann-fold' structure, members of the SDR superfamily exhibit low sequence similarities, which

Metabolic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for Enhanced Dihydroartemisinic Acid Production
Direct bioproduction of DHAA (dihydroartemisinic acid) rather than AA (artemisinic acid), as suggested by previous work would decrease the cost of semi-biosynthesis artemisinin by eliminating the step of initial hydrogenation of AA.

Cell cycle specific radiosensitisation by the disulfiram and copper complex [PDF]
The disulfiram and copper complex (DSF:Cu) has emerged as a potent radiosensitising anti-cancer agent. The ability of copper to stabilise DSF in a planar conformation and to inhibit DNA replication enzymes stimulated our investigation of the effect of
