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

Nickel-catalysed retro-hydroamidocarbonylation of aliphatic amides to olefins
Nature Communications, 2017 Converting the normally highly stable amide bond into different functionalities is a challenging task. Here the authors report a nickel-catalysed retro-hydroamidocarbonylation procedure, allowing the conversion of aliphatic amides into alkenes across a ...

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Tunably strained metallacycles enable modular differentiation of aza-arene C–H bonds
Nature Communications, 2023 The precise activation of C–H bonds will eventually provide chemists with transformative methods to access complex molecular architectures. Current approaches to selective C–H activation relying on directing groups are effective for the generation of ...
