This study reports the total synthesis of α‐galacto‐oligosaccharides (α‐GOSs) 1‐6 with different galactose chain lengths was achieved by the boron‐mediated aglycon delivery , and their immune‐enhancing activities in macrophage J774.1 cells. The results indicate that α‐GOS 2 exhibits the highest promotion of macrophage phagocytosis and increasing ...

Targeted genome mining identified thermostable enzymes (PETases) that hydrolyze the commonly used plastic polymer polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Thermostable enzymes are identified from thermophilic microbial sources. Experimental results reveal enzymatic activity on authentic PET films, highlighting potential for industrial application.

An affitin derived from the Sac7d scaffold enables the light‐controlled affinity purification of antibodies under physiological conditions, thus overcoming limitations of protein A chromatography. X‐ray crystallographic analysis and affinity measurements reveal complex formation with Fc at the CH2/CH3 junction, similar to protein A/G and FnRn. Combined

SAAP‐148 Oligomerizes into a Hexamer Forming a Hydrophobic Inner Core
The highly cationic and hydrophobic antimicrobial peptide SAP‐148 effectively eradicates multidrug‐resistant bacteria, persistent cells, and biofilms without inducing resistance. Its efficiency is likely due to its ability to disrupt bacterial membranes as an oligomer, forming a stable alpha‐helical hexameric bundle with three parallel dimers that ...

Organocatalytic Switches of DNA Glycosylase OGG1 Catalyze a Highly Efficient AP‐Lyase Function
Organocatalytic switches are small molecules that combine active site affinity and a nitrogen‐centered base for catalysis, effectively removing the rate‐determining step of the OGG1 biochemical cascade. Here, we identify a minimal structure and modulate the active nitrogen pKa, enabling the catalysis of ultrafast AP site incisions in a range of pH ...

A ketol‐acid reductoisomerase inhibitor that has antituberculosis and herbicidal activity.
Ketol‐acid reductoisomerase (KARI) is a target for the development of new biocidal agents. This is based on its essential role in branched chain amino acid biosynthesis in plants and microorganisms, and its absence in animals. The lack of success in developing KARI inhibitors as biocides may be because the inhibitors assessed to date compete directly ...

Corn cob pyrolysis: A systematic literature review of methods and applications
Mapping the research landscape of corn cob pyrolysis. Abstractas The agricultural sector is experiencing a surge in waste generation due to population growth, creating an urgent need to convert byproducts into value‐added products. Maize (Zea mays L.), a leading global crop, produces significant byproducts, such as corn cob, which are often undervalued.

Cocktail soaking using single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction allows high‐throughput crystallographic ligand screening against protein targets. However, protein microcrystals are not amenable to this approach. Herein, a workflow integrating cocktail soaking with automated microcrystal electron diffraction to allow rapid ligand screening, structure ...
