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.

Energy-Based Prediction of the Peak and Cumulative Response of a Reinforced Concrete Building with Steel Damper Columns

Buildings, 2023
A steel damper column is an energy-dissipating member that is suitable for reinforced concrete (RC) buildings and multistory housing. To assess the seismic performance of buildings with steel damper columns, the peak displacement of the whole building ...

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Comparison of the cumulative energy demand of BEV and FCEV in their long-term operation

Combustion Engines, 2023
The paper presents a method of using the theory of cumulative energy demand to assess this demand in long-term operation of vehicles with a mileage forecast of up to 350,000 km. Based on the results of operational "consumption" of energy and taking into account the energy "costs" of obtaining it, a comparison of the currently popular BEV’s (Battery ...

Cumulative energy and cost demand analysis in the synthesis of antistatic bionanocomposites compared with the synthesis of polypropylene

IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 2022
Abstract This study aims to find the cumulative energy demand (CED) and the cumulative cost demand (CCD) in the synthesis of antistatic bionanocomposites (AS BNC) compared with the synthesis of polypropylene (PP). The CED was identified using SimaPro 9.1.1 software, and the CCD was identified using the material and energy flow analysis ...

Određivanje energetskih potreba u stočarskim objektima [PDF]

, 2015
The cumulative energy demand in dairy farming is strongly determined by feed supply and replacement. More than the half of the total cumulative energy demand is required for feed supply, about one quarter for replacement. The investigations aim at the

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Energy analysis in fish aquaculture: Cumulative energy demand of different farming systems

Aquacultural Engineering
Energy consumption is one of the critical challenges for the continued growth of the aquaculture sector. In addition to the substantial feed consumption common to all types of systems, the high direct energy demand is driven by electricity use for water extraction, pumping, and aeration in land-based farms, and by fuel consumption in coastal farms. The
