The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Dynamics of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural formation in shortbreads during thermal processing
The analysis was carried out of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furfural (HMF) formation during the baking of shortbreads. The investigation was done on three types of shortbread in which sucrose, glucose, or fructose were used as sweeteners.

Cell wall target fragment discovery using a low‐cost, minimal fragment library
LoCoFrag100 is a fragment library made up of 100 different compounds. Similarity between the fragments is minimized and 10 different fragments are mixed into a single cocktail, which is soaked to protein crystals. These crystals are analysed by X‐ray crystallography, revealing the binding modes of the bound fragment ligands.

Analysis of acid-tolerance mechanism based on membrane microdomains in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Background Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been used in the biosynthesis of acid products such as organic acids owing to its acid tolerance. Improving the acid tolerance of S. cerevisiae is beneficial for expanding its application range.

Microalgae cultivation for lipids and carbohydrates production [PDF]
Microalgae are photoautotrophic microorganisms that can produce energy both by using sunlight, water and CO2 (phototrophic metabolism) and by using organic sources such as glucose (heterotrophic metabolism).
