Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Unparticle effects in supernovae cooling

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2007
Recently H. Georgi suggested that a scale invariant unparticle ${\mathcal{U}}$ sector with an infrared fixed point at high energy can couple with the SM matter via a higher-dimensional operator suppressed by a high cut-off scale. Intense phenomenological search of this unparticle sector in the collider and flavour physics context has already been made.

Active cool roof effect: impact of cool roofs on cooling system efficiency

open access: yesAdvances in Building Energy Research, 2013
Cool roofs represent an acknowledged, relatively simple, and low-cost strategy to reduce cooling energy demand of buildings and mitigate urban heat island phenomena. The purpose of this paper is to study the coupled passive–active effect produced by such a technology, where the active effect consists of the cool roof capability to decrease the suction ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Infrared laser sampling of low volumes combined with shotgun lipidomics reveals lipid markers in palatine tonsil carcinoma

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Nanosecond infrared laser (NIRL) low‐volume sampling combined with shotgun lipidomics uncovers distinct lipidome alterations in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) of the palatine tonsil. Several lipid species consistently differentiate tumor from healthy tissue, highlighting their potential as diagnostic markers.

Different urban heat mitigation strategies are optimal day versus night and for distinct synoptic weather types

open access: yesEnvironmental Research: Climate
Extreme heat is projected to increase in frequency and intensity. Commonly applied infrastructure-based urban heat mitigation strategies, including greenery and reflective materials, have the potential to reduce heat exposure.
