Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS 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.

On the power of (even a little) resource pooling
Stochastic Systems, 2012 We propose and analyze a multi-server model that captures a performance trade-off between centralized and distributed processing. In our model,a fraction p of an available resource is deployed in a centralized manner (e.g., to serve a most-loaded station)

Assessment of fluid neutral models for a detached ITER case
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2017 We compare the plasma sources (particle, parallel momentum and ion energy) due to plasma-neutral interactions computed with different fluid neutral models with the sources from a Monte Carlo simulation of the kinetic neutral equation.

Transient generalized Taylor-Couette flow: a semi-analytical approach
Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2020 Semi-analytical solution of transient generalized Taylor-Couette flow of a viscous, incompressible fluid between the gaps of concentric rotating cylinders under applied azimuthal pressure gradient ispresented.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study reveals that the small GTPase Rab14 is necessary for human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and plays an essential role in the transport of virions to the trans‐Golgi network (TGN). HPV in the early endosome (EE), which harbors GTP‐bound Rab14, is transported to the TGN through the switch of Rab14 from its GTP‐bound to GDP‐bound form.

Propulsion and Power Research, 2014 In this paper, we study the flow of a micropolar fluid in a porous channel with expanding or contracting walls. First, we use spectral collocation method on the governing equations to obtain an initial approximation for the solution of equations.

Degradation mechanism of the von Willebrand factor A2 domain by nattokinase
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Nattokinase, a natto‐derived protease, exhibits potent antithrombotic effects. This study demonstrates that nattokinase directly cleaves the von Willebrand factor (vWF) A2 domain in vitro. Unlike the native regulator ADAMTS13, nattokinase degrades folded vWF independently of shear stress.

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 ...
