Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Augmenting Energy Flexibility in the Factory Environment

Procedia CIRP, 2017
Abstract The increasing share of renewable energies in modern energy systems requires effective solutions to help harmonizing energy supply and demand. Fluctuating energy prices have been incentivizing customers, including manufacturing companies, to identify and build up technical solutions and abilities to profit financially from fluctuating energy

Salmonella lipopolysaccharide‐containing supported lipid bilayers as platforms to study bacteriophage interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We present robust protocols for the preparation of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) incorporating either Salmonella smooth LPS or outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). We use a combination of quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM‐D) and fluorescence microscopy to both characterize the SLBs of various compositions and to probe their interactions ...

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Flexibility of Distributed Energy Resources in Islanded Multi-Energy Systems

, 2022
In the European Union, 15 million people live on 2,400 inhabited islands that to the largest part rely on relatively small and isolated energy systems. Many of these energy systems are expensive, inefficient, have a high carbon intensity, and depend on ...

Role of flexibility in achieving a decarbonized Nordic energy system by 2050 [PDF]

, 2022
Carbon neutrality targets are driving demand for new renewable energy generation, which in turn increases demand for flexibility resources. This paper studies the demand for and role of flexibility in two decarbonization pathways for Finland.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
