Engineering antibodies with cancer‐associated binding sites
BMEMat, EarlyView.This review describes antibodies that perform direct/indirect roles in cancer treatment by binding to effective targets and discusses how antibodies kill tumors and modulate tumor microenvironment through these targets. The classification of expression systems for antibody production is summarized to guide appropriate selection based on different ...

Hybridization, polyploidy, and evolutionary transitions between monoecy and dioecy in Bryonia (Cucurbitaceae) [PDF]
, 2008 Correns’s 1903 (Berichte der Deutschen Botanischen Gesellschaft 21: 133 – 147) crosses between a monoecious and a dioecious species of Bryonia revealed the simple Mendelian inheritance of dioecy and provided the first instance of an XY sex determination ...

5‐thiohistidine N‐acetyltransferase from Proteiniphilum saccharofermentans
ChemBioChem, Accepted Article.Ovothiol A is a 5‐thiohistidine derivative biosynthesized by a broad range of prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Its redox‐active mercaptoimidazole side chain is believed to protect cells from oxidative stress. The three enzymes that produce ovothiol A from histidine, cysteine, and S‐adenosyl methionine have been identified and characterized.
