The water footprint of Irish meat and dairy products [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The water consumption of a range of dairy and beef production systems was estimated for four locations in Ireland using the Cranfield Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) systems model. This included direct water consumption (for drinking, washing, cleaning, etc.)

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Long-term effects of Abay River flow regulation at Lake Tana on the geomorphic and ecological responses of the downstream river channels, Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia

open access: yesHeliyon
Alluvial rivers adjust their geometry in response to environmental and anthropogenic disturbances. Flow regulation results in a new geomorphic condition that affects the aquatic ecosystem and its nature.

Spatiotemporal heterogeneities in water and land appropriations related to food losses and waste in China

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters, 2022
Fast-growing food losses and waste (FLW) have caused major environmental issues, yet little is known about the role of trade in the inefficient resource consumption related to FLW.

Yesterday, today, and tomorrow’s fish consumption: Analysis of present and prospective fish consumption in Ghana by 2030

open access: yesCogent Food & Agriculture, 2023
The wellbeing of millions of Ghanaians hinges on food security. As the country strives to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Agenda 2030, fish consumption must be sustained.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

Towards the Improvement of Blue Water Evapotranspiration Estimates by Combining Remote Sensing and Model Simulation

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2014
The estimation of evapotranspiration of blue water (ETb) from farmlands, due to irrigation, is crucial to improve water management, especially in regions where water resources are scarce.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...
