Presentation: How We Learn and How We Don't [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Why do some students learn while some fall behind? What happens in the brain when we learn? Research over the past two decades has deepened our understanding of the fundamental principles of human learning, yet much of what we do in the classroom seems ...

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 ...

The utilization of mangrove forests in ESD-oriented science learning to improve environmental literacy and science literacy: A meta-analysis

open access: yesJPBI (Jurnal Pendidikan Biologi Indonesia)
The lack of utilization of the local environment in science learning causes low environmental and science literacy among students. In fact, integrating the surrounding environment, such as mangrove forests in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD ...

Biodiversity citizen science: Outcomes for the participating citizens

open access: yesPeople and Nature, 2021
Citizen science (CS) is regarded as a promising format in environmental and sustainability education as well as in science education. CS projects often assume that participation in the project influences, for example, participants' knowledge or behaviour.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...
