A Simplified Method for Evaluating Chitin-Binding Activity Applied to YKL-40 (HC-gp39, CHI3L1) and Chitotriosidase

Molecules
YKL-40 is structurally similar to chitotriosidase (CHIT1), an active chitinase, but it lacks chitin-degrading activity while retaining chitin-binding capability.

Mandible composition and properties in two selected praying mantises (Insecta, Mantodea)

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Insects process their food with their cuticle‐based mouthparts. These feeding structures reflect their diversity and can, in some cases, showcase adaptations in material composition, mechanical properties, and shape to suit their specific dietary preferences.

A perspective from the Mesozoic: Evolutionary changes of the mammalian skull and their influence on feeding efficiency and high‐frequency hearing

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The complex evolutionary history behind modern mammalian chewing performance and hearing function is a result of several changes in the entire skeletomuscular system of the skull and lower jaw. Lately, exciting multifunctional 3D analytical methods and kinematic simulations of feeding functions in both modern and fossil mammals and their ...

Priming and elongation of chitin chains: Implications for chitin synthase mechanism

The Cell Surface, 2019
Most fungi have multiple chitin synthases (CSs) that may make chitin at different sites on the cell surface, at different times during growth, and in response to cell wall stress.

A novel treatment of biogas digestate waste for biochar production and its adsorption of methylene blue and malachite green in a binary system

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents a novel treatment of biogas digestate to produce biochar at processing temperatures of 500–700 °C. The resulting biochar was applied for the simultaneous removal of methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) in a binary system.
