Where do animal α-amylases come from? An interkingdom trip [PDF]
, 2007 Alpha-amylases are widely found in eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Few amino acids are conserved among these organisms, but at an intra-kingdom level, conserved protein domains exist.

Enhancing Cold Adaptation of Bidomain Amylases by High‐Throughput Computational Engineering
Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.This work uncovers molecular determinants of cold adaptation in bidomain amylases by combining MD simulations and biochemical assays, revealing that increased domain separation drives enhanced activity at low temperatures. Guided by this principle, high‐throughput in silico linker screening of mesophilic psA was performed, yielding variant psA121 with ...

β-amylase production by a novel strain Paenibacillus chitinolyticus CKS1 using commercial and waste substrates [PDF]
Journal on Processing and Energy in Agriculture, 2018 Amylases are industrially important enzymes which could convert starch to glucose, maltose and oligosaccharides. A bacterial strain designated as Paenibacillus chitinolyticus CKS1which was isolated from the soil of the coniferous forest, produced β ...

Engineered Tissue Models to Decode Host–Microbiota Interactions
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Host–Microbiota interactions in the human body. Created in BioRender. Ghezzi, C. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ihivskg. Abstract A mutualistic co‐evolution exists between the host and its associated microbiota in the human body. Bacteria establish ecological niches in various tissues of the body, locally influencing their physiology and functions, but ...

Manipulating the Light Systemic Signal HY5 Greatly Improve Fruit Quality in Tomato
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study establishes that HY5, activated by low‐dose light, acts as a systemic signal to enhance tomato fruit quality by directly promoting carotenoid synthesis and sugar metabolism. These findings demonstrate HY5's mobility from leaves to fruits and its application potential through nighttime LED lighting, offering a practical strategy for crop ...
