Structural and biochemical analysis of a B12 superbinder
BtuG proteins are vitamin B12 scavengers in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, a dominant human gut bacterium. We present crystal structures of three BtuG homologs bound to cobalamin and its precursor cobinamide, revealing picomolar binding affinities, among the highest known for any natural protein.

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Experimental test for a co-evolutionary hotspot in a host–parasite interaction
Observation: Two independent experiments have shown that freshwater snails (Potamopyrgus antipodarum) collected from the shallow-water margins of a lake are more susceptible to infection by a trematode worm (Microphallus sp.) than snails collected from ...

RNA‐related functions of BRCA2 in transcription, replication, and genome stability
Beyond its role in homologous recombination, BRCA2 regulates R‐loop homeostasis, DNA–RNA hybrid resolution, RNA polymerase II dynamics, and transcriptional activation. Disruption of any of these functions can contribute to genome instability, inflammatory signaling, and tumorigenesis. BRCA2 is a central tumor suppressor protein best known for its roles

Membrane composition and thermodynamic identity as boundaries of life for synthetic cell research
What makes a cell a cell? The boundary of a living cell is not just a wall. Read as a Markov blanket, the membrane separates internal from external states, generating identity and non‐equilibrium order. Can this identity be rebuilt from scratch in a synthetic cell?

An evolutionary algorithm for bilevel optimisation of men's team pursuit track cycling
Evolutionary Computation is useful in a broad range of practical applications, however currently generalized algorithms tend to be focused upon solving problems in a theoretical domain. We aim to develop a range of generalised algorithms more suited than

Evolutionary Computation: Theories, Techniques, and Applications
Evolutionary computation is now nearly 50 years old, originating with the seminal work of John Holland at the University of Michigan in 1975 which introduced the genetic algorithm [...]

La evolución de técnicas y fenómenos: hacia una explicación de la "confección" del mundo
In recent articles some authors (e.g. Pickering 1989, Hacking 1992) have pointed out a process of gradual adjustment or tailoring between phenomena, models and experimental techniques.
