Bioinspired Strong and Tough Layered Bulk Composites via Mycelial Interface Anchoring Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An interface anchoring strategy, which fixes the interface between the soft and hard phases to immobilize 2D materials, by leveraging the growth of biological living mycelium is proposed. This approach results in the formation of a lightweight and strong composite material (the LBCs) with a layered structure composed of soft and hard phases.

Actinorhodin Biosynthesis Terminates with an Unprecedented Biaryl Coupling Reaction

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 5, January 26, 2023., 2023
The last dimerization step of actinorhodin (ACT) biosynthesis was established through biochemical studies. ActVA‐ORF4 is a unique NAD(P)H‐dependent enzyme that catalyzes the biaryl‐coupling reaction using 8‐hydroxydihydrokalafungin (DHK‐OH) as the sole substrate. ActVA‐ORF3 is a quinone‐forming enzyme that forms DHK‐OH and ACT.

Potential for spread of the white-nose fungus (Pseudogymnoascus destructans) in the Americas: use of Maxent and NicheA to assure strict model transference.

open access: yesGeospatial Health, 2014
Emerging infectious diseases can present serious threats to wildlife, even to the point of causing extinction. Whitenose fungus (Pseudogymnoascus destructans) is causing an epizootic in bats that is expanding rapidly, both geographically and ...

Confinement by Liquid‐Liquid Interface Replicates In Vivo Neutrophil Deformations and Elicits Bleb‐Based Migration

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Leukocytes sense mechanical cues provided by surrounding cells to regulate motility. Replicating the confining pressures applied by soft, elastic tissues in vitro is challenging. Here, the use of liquid‐liquid interfaces is introduced to model forces exerted by surrounding cells. Confining pressures are tunable by controlling interfacial curvature, and

Preparative‐Scale Biocatalytic Oxygenation of N‐Heterocycles with a Lyophilized Peroxygenase Catalyst

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, Volume 135, Issue 5, January 26, 2023., 2023
A lyophilized preparation of an unspecific peroxygenase variant from Agrocybe aegerita (rAaeUPO‐PaDa‐I‐H) is a highly effective catalyst for the oxygenation of a diverse range of N‐heterocyclic compounds. Scalable, high yielding and enantioselective biocatalytic oxygenations have been developed, including 27 preparative examples (ca.

Stress adaptation in a pathogenic fungus

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Biology, 2014
Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen of humans. This yeast is carried by many individuals as a harmless commensal, but when immune defences are perturbed it causes mucosal infections (thrush).
