Fluorescent proteins: A journey from the cell to extreme environments in material science
Applications of proteins and microorganisms as tools or effectors in material science. Abstract This review presents the progression from the use of fluorescent proteins (FPs) and chromoproteins as bioimaging labels and sensors to the strategic engineering of their properties for robust functionality in synthetic and non‐biological environments ...

Peptidase activity of beta-lactamases.
Although beta-lactamases have generally been considered as being devoid of peptidase activity, a low but significant hydrolysis of various N-acylated dipeptides was observed with representatives of each class of beta-lactamases. The kcat/Km values were below 0.1 M(-1).

Novel and emerging antimicrobial strategies in the management of oral infections
Abstract Background Antibiotics marked a pivotal turning point in human civilization, enhancing social interactions and extending human life expectancy. In addition to their success in treating systemic infectious diseases, they have significantly improved periodontal treatment outcomes as an adjunct therapy.

ABSTRACT Background Multidrug‐resistant organism colonization and infections cause significant morbidity and mortality in solid organ transplantation, affecting the perioperative antibiotic management. Yet, international practices for screening and antibiotic prophylaxis in colonized donors and recipients remain poorly defined.
