Molecular dynamics simulations and fluorescence spectroscopy suggest reduced tryptophan‐to‐heme energy transfer facilitates lignin degradation in ClassII peroxidases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
In lignin peroxidase and versatile peroxidase, low FRET from buried Trp to heme promotes long‐range electron transfer (LRET) from substrate to heme. This efficient electron flow is facilitated by reduced FRET competition. This mechanism likely evolved to enable the effective degradation of bulky, high‐redox‐potential lignin that cannot reach the enzyme'

Japanese Women's Attitudes Toward Learning Languages Other Than English in the Era of Global English

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study on female Japanese learners of the Korean language is situated in the centuries‐long anti‐Korean sentiments in Japan, the global popularity of the Korean Wave, particularly among women, and the essentialized image of socially marginalized young Japanese women who study English with romantic desires for Western men.

Association between properdin, DAF, and C3c with hepatic steatosis and inflammation.

, 2014
A) C3c levels in the liver were not different (p = 0.27) between subjects with grade 2 steatosis (N = 5) and subjects with grade 3 steatosis (N = 7). B) Levels of hepatic properdin were not related to the grade of steatosis (p = 0.27).
