Structural and functional characterization of chitinase from carnivorous plant Drosera adelae

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A class I chitinase from the carnivorous plant Drosera adelae was expressed and purified using a yeast system, revealing high enzymatic activity. Structural analyses of the catalytic and chitin‐binding domains identified key tyrosine residues involved in substrate binding, offering insights into the enzyme's adaptation for insect digestion.

The Effect of Thickness, Build Orientation, and Loading Rate on the Tensile and Compressive Properties of Selective Laser Sintering Polyamide 12 Specimens

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article examines how build orientation, thickness, and loading rate affect the tensile and compressive properties of LS‐manufactured polyamide 12 12 parts. Through over 120 experiments, it reveals strong ductility anisotropy in tension, minimal compressive sensitivity, and significant thickness and strain rate dependencies.

Removing Homocoupling Defects in Alkoxy/Alkyl‐PBTTT Enhances Polymer:Fullerene Co‐Crystal Formation and Stability

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
PBTTT‐OR‐R, a C14‐alkoxy/alkyl‐PBTTT polymer derivative, is of substantial interest for optoelectronics due to its specific fullerene intercalation behavior and enhanced charge‐transfer absorption. Comparing this polymer with (S) and without (O) homocoupling defects reveals that PBTTT‐OR‐R(O) forms stable co‐crystals with PC61BM, while PBTTT‐OR‐R(S ...
