Building Molecules by a Self‐Replicator That Catalyzes Acyl Hydrazone Formation
A self‐replicator efficiently catalyzes the formation of acyl hydrazone bonds between a set of different substrates. In addition to previously reported (bond‐breaking) catalytic activity, this renders the self‐replicator highly promiscuous, which is a good starting point for Darwinian experiments en route to de‐novo life.

This study is pioneering in constructing the shortest known synthetic pathway for L‐theanine production from xylose within E coli. Through comprehensive metabolic engineering strategies, our engineered strain achieved the highest reported L‐theanine titer from xylose, with a titer of 95.42 g/L, and a yield of 0.55 g/g.

Growth, Dissolution and Segregation of Genetically Encoded RNA Droplets by Ribozyme Catalysis
Ribozymes enable sequence‐encoded turnover of RNA droplet material, resulting in transiently active droplets that selectively segregate based on their genotype. This establishes a direct link between genetic information and droplet behavior, marking a step toward programmable, evolvable RNA‐based compartments with life‐like properties.

Genetic and Phenotypic Features of the Five Known Polyaminopathies: A Critical Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Polyaminopathies are a recently described family of rare genetic neurodevelopmental disorders. Polyaminopathies disrupt the biosynthesis of the primary polyamines: putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. Snyder–Robinson syndrome results from hemizygous loss‐of‐function variants in the spermine synthase (SMS) gene, resulting in decreased or ...

Biocatalytic Regioselective C‐Formylation of Resorcinol Derivatives
An acyltransferase from Chromobacterium sphagni (CsATase) was identified that catalyzes the regioselective formylation of resorcinol substrates. The formylation of substituted resorcinol derivatives yielded mono‐formylated products with up to 99% conversion and up to 74% isolated yield.
