Evolution‐guided yeast complementation reveals functional differences in human PSPH variants

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Ancient genomes can help guide which human genetic variants are tested experimentally. This study applies that idea to PSPH, a gene involved in serine biosynthesis, and uses high‐throughput yeast complementation to compare variant function. The findings reveal measurable differences among selected alleles and illustrate the value of evolution‐guided ...

In silico and in vitro exploration of a tyrosinase for biocatalytic production of catechols

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Tyrosinase from Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum is a promising biocatalyst for producing valuable catechols from monophenol substrates. This tyrosinase is uniquely suited to this due to its high monophenolase : diphenolase ratio. We combined in silico docking and in vivo kinetic characterisation of this tyrosinase with 11 industrially relevant monophenols,

Purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 for phase separation studies

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

Protocol for quantifying miRNA trafficking across the endosomal membrane

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
An in vitro protocol measures miRNA uptake into endosomes isolated from mammalian cell extracts, which are free of subcellular contaminants. Performed at 37 °C in the presence of ATP, it ensures the import of single‐stranded miRNA into the endosomal lumen.

Descriptive Norms and Norm Innovations

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2015
Morris and Liu’s (2015) article about norm innovation in the special issue of the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology (JCCP) about descriptive norms adds theoretical substance (Leung, 1989; Peterson & Barreto, 2014; Triandis & Suh, 2002) to studies that statistically compare measures at different levels of analysis(e.g., Fischer, Vauclair, Fontaine,
Peterson, Mark F., Barreto, Tais S.

The Normative and the Descriptive

2021
Abstract This chapter introduces some of the basic themes of Causation with a Human Face. Accounts of causal reasoning can either be normative (concerned with how we ought to reason) or descriptive (concerned with how we in fact reason).

Conformity to descriptive norms

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2022
Descriptive norms, which measure the prevalence of prosocial behavior (prosocial “contribution”, in our context), powerfully influence individual prosocial choice. We investigate the relative importance of three channels through which this may occur: (1) Individuals directly prefer to conform to common behavior, (2) individuals reciprocally contribute ...

Norms and Descriptions

Decision Analysis, 2008
This article addresses the problem of identifying conditions according to which it is possible to distinguish between a descriptive theory and a normative theory. What makes a descriptive theory descriptive and a normative theory normative? The focus is on subjective expected utility theories where it seems open to debate whether the appropriate use is

Descriptions, Prescriptions and Norms

2022
In his Scope and Method of Economics (1890), John Neville Keynes applied a tripartite distinction to the tasks of economists, dividing these into descriptions, norms and prescriptions. Keynes’s book both recapitulated debates revolving around the goals and limits of Classical political economy and opened a path towards debates between contemporary ...
