Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS 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 ...

Development of a multiaxial force sensor for docking systems characterization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
openThis thesis presents the development of a multi-axial force sensor (MAFS) designed specifically for docking systems. Docking between two satellites occurs when the probe of the chaser satellite connects with the drogue of the target satellite.

Conserved binding mode but diverse interfaces of MreC‐PBP2 interactions

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The crystal structure of abMreC reveals a conserved two β‐barrel architecture and provides structural insights into its role within the bacterial elongasome. The abMreC–abPBP2 complex model identifies the molecular basis of MreC‐mediated PBP2 recognition, contributing to the regulation of peptidoglycan synthesis.

Measurement of the Switching Force without Force Sensor

open access: yesAdvances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2004
At the railways, some parts of the a high speed corridor are being finished at present. In these corridors, trains can reach the speed of up to 160 km per hour. Consequently, the demand on switch point machine computer diagnostics has arisen.

Engineering peptides into antibodies—opportunities and strategies for therapeutic innovation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Peptides and antibodies occupy complementary therapeutic niches. Peptides recognize difficult targets in a compact format, while antibodies add specificity, long half‐life, and effector functions. This review examines strategies that merge both modalities—peptide grafting into loops, terminal and Fc fusions, and bioconjugation—highlighting how ...

Spatio-Temporal Human Grip Force Analysis via Sensor Arrays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
This study describes a technique for measuring human grip forces exerted on a cylindrical object via a sensor array. Standardised resistor-based pressure sensor arrays for industrial and medical applications have been available for some time.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Base Force/Torque Sensing for Position based artesian Impedance Control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
In this paper, a position based impedance controller (i.e. admittance controller) is designed by utilizing measurements of a force/torque sensor, which is mounted at the robot’s base.

Autophagy and mitophagy in pancreatic β‐cell homeostasis and their involvement in diabetes pathophysiology

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This review focuses on the role of autophagy and mitophagy in maintaining pancreatic β‐cell function and homeostasis. We discuss how genetic defects affecting these pathways contribute to the development of type 1, type 2, monogenic, and gestational diabetes. We further explore their potential as therapeutic targets. Created in BioRender.

A dynamic tactile sensor on photoelastic effect

open access: yes, 2006
Certain photoelastic materials exhibit birefringent characteristics at a very low level of strain. This property of material may be suitable for dynamic or wave propagation studies, which can be exploited for designing tactile sensors.
