PolyProline Predictor: A web server for empirical sequence‐based prediction of polyproline II helices

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Polyproline II (PPII) helices are extended left‐handed secondary structures increasingly recognized for their roles in molecular recognition, signaling and within intrinsically disordered regions of proteins. Despite their functional importance, predicting regions with propensity to form PPII helices from sequence alone remains challenging due

Substrate scope of ancestral versus modern family‐1 glycosidases

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Experimental studies support that protein engineering based on ancestral sequence reconstruction often leads to variants with biotechnologically useful biomolecular properties. These may include high stability, enhanced conformational flexibility and a modified catalysis range.

Soft Colloidal Robots: Magnetically Guided Liquid Crystal Torons for Targeted Micro‐Cargo Delivery

Small, Volume 22, Issue 37, 2 July 2026.
Torons, topological quasiparticles in liquid crystals, can be propelled using electric fields and precisely steered with magnetic alignment, enabling programmable motion without fluid flow. In microfluidic channels, they transport colloidal cargo and exhibit novel dynamic behavior. Their uniformity, softness, and reconfigurability make torons ideal for

A Talc- and Kaolin-Enriched Acetylated Starch Biocoating: An Alternative to Single-Use Plastic for the Food Industry

Polysaccharides
The increasing production of plastics, driven by modern societal development, has resulted in a significant rise in plastic waste, which poses serious environmental concerns due to its lengthy degradation times.

Whole genome sequencing of historical specimens from the world's largest fungal collection yields high‐quality assemblies

New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 2, Page 752-767, July 2026.
Summary High‐throughput molecular studies of museum specimens (museomics) have great potential in biodiversity research, but fungal historical collections have scarcely been examined, leading to no comprehensive methodological assessments. Here we present a whole genome sequencing (WGS) project conducted at the Fungarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens ...

3D‐Printed Platforms for Enzyme Immobilisation Screening and Direct Translation into Continuous‐Flow Biocatalysis

ChemSusChem, Volume 19, Issue 12, 26 June 2026.
A 3D‐printed screening‐to‐reactor platform enabled rapid optimisation of ADH‐200 immobilisation using imidazolium‐based supported ionic liquid phases. High‐throughput evaluation in 96‐well plates identified methyl‐imidazolium formulations as the best‐performing supports, which were directly translated into honeycomb continuous‐flow reactors.

Ground‐ and Excited‐State Mixed Valency in a 4,4′‐Bipyridine‐Bridged Bimetallic Di‐Ruthenium Complex

European Journal of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 16, 4 June 2026.
Photoinduced mixed‐valence interactions across a 4,4′‐bpy bridge were studied. MLCT excited states in the bimetallic complex are longer‐lived than in the monometallic reference, thanks to metal–metal electronic coupling and hole delocalization, but are still shorter than the nanosecond timescale relevant for diffusional reactivity.

Enzymes of glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway as targets of oxidants: Role of redox reactions on the carbohydrate catabolism

Redox Biochemistry and Chemistry
Redox reactions can modulate metabolic and signaling pathways with consequences on cellular adaptation to different stimuli. The abundance and structural features of some metabolic enzymes make these targets of oxidants, including one- and two-electron ...
