The (Glg)ABCs of cyanobacteria: modelling of glycogen synthesis and functional divergence of glycogen synthases in Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We reconstituted Synechocystis glycogen synthesis in vitro from purified enzymes and showed that two GlgA isoenzymes produce glycogen with different architectures: GlgA1 yields denser, highly branched glycogen, whereas GlgA2 synthesizes longer, less‐branched chains.

Assessment of the possibilities of determining the correct environmental flow based on the environmental requirements of ichtiofauna and macrozoobentos

open access: yesActa Scientiarum Polonorum. Formatio Circumiectus, 2020
Aim of the study: The purpose of the article is to present the effects of work on developing a method for determining environmental trough flows that could be implemented as a tool for assessing the degree of possible use of water resources by humans ...

Improving Environmental Interventions by Understanding Information Flows [PDF]

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2019
Conservationists are increasingly interested in changing human behaviour. One understudied aspect of such interventions is information flow. Different patterns of interpersonal communication and social structures within communities influence the adoption of behavioural changes through social influence and social reinforcement.

Evolution and concept of environmental flows (e–flows): Meta–analysis

open access: yesWater Supply, 2023
The idea of e-flows emerged as a result of the efforts to lessen the effects of river flow alterations. The role of e-flows in ecosystem protection and water resources management isn’t yet fully understood and practiced. This review summarizes the historical evolution of the concept and recaps the assessment methods; analyze impacts of river flow ...

Universality in active chaos

open access: yes, 2004
Many examples of chemical and biological processes take place in large-scale environmental flows. Such flows generate filamental patterns which are often fractal due to the presence of chaos in the underlying advection dynamics.

Structural biology of ferritin nanocages

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Ferritin is a conserved iron‐storage protein that sequesters iron as a ferric mineral core within a nanocage, protecting cells from oxidative damage and maintaining iron homeostasis. This review discusses ferritin biology, structure, and function, and highlights recent cryo‐EM studies revealing mechanisms of ferritinophagy, cellular iron uptake, and ...

Organ‐specific redox imbalances in spinal muscular atrophy mice are partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotides

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We identified a systemic, progressive loss of protein S‐glutathionylation—detected by nonreducing western blotting—alongside dysregulation of glutathione‐cycle enzymes in both neuronal and peripheral tissues of Taiwanese SMA mice. These alterations were partially rescued by SMN antisense oligonucleotide therapy, revealing persistent redox imbalance as ...

Governing Environmental Flows [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Globalization and the changing role of the nation-state calls for new approaches to environmental governance and new ways to conceptualize it. Recent developments in sociology—seen in the work of John Urry, Manuel Castells, and others—shows how social theory can be made less static, more fluid, and more directed toward flow and networks in order to ...

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.

An environmental flow to an ephemeral creek increases the input of carbon and nutrients to a downstream receiving river

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science
Although intermittent and ephemeral rivers lack surface flow for part of the year, they provide vital refuges for biota in otherwise dry semi-arid and arid landscapes. The hydrology of many such rivers has been altered due to river regulation and climate
