Pan-Cellulosomics of Mesophilic Clostridia: Variations on a Theme
The bacterial cellulosome is an extracellular, multi-enzyme machinery, which efficiently depolymerizes plant biomass by degrading plant cell wall polysaccharides.

RNA sampling and crystallographic refinement using Rappertk [PDF]
Background. Dramatic increases in RNA structural data have made it possible to recognize its conformational preferences much better than a decade ago. This has created an opportunity to use discrete restraint-based conformational sampling for modelling RNA and automating its crystallographic refinement. Results.

Comparison of lipases and glycoside hydrolases as catalysts in synthesis reactions
Lipases and glycoside hydrolases have large similarities concerning reaction mechanisms. Acyl-enzyme intermediates are formed during lipase-catalyzed reactions and in an analogous way, retaining glycoside hydrolases form glycosyl-enzyme intermediates ...

Computational prediction of the bioactivity potential of proteomes based on expert knowledge [PDF]
Advances in the field of genome sequencing have enabled a comprehensive analysis and annotation of the dynamics of the protein inventory of cells. This has been proven particularly rewarding for microbial cells, for which the majority of proteins are ...

Distinct lineages of the grasshopper Chorthippus parallelus (Orthoptera: Acrididae) form a well‐known hybrid zone (HZ) in the Pyrenees mountain range; the Iberian endemism C. p. erythropus (Cpe) and the subspecies C. p. parallelus, (Cpp) widely distributed throughout the rest of Europe. Both subspecies differ in diverse traits, including the strains of

Mammalian sperm acrosome contains several glycohydrolases thought to aid in the dispersion and digestion of vestments surrounding the egg. In this study, we have used multiple approaches to examine the origin of acrosome-associated glycohdyrdolases ...

Therapeutic enzyme treatment disrupts Pseudomonas biofilms, potentiating antibiotics and ameliorating the innate immune system. Bacterial biofilms present a significant medical challenge because they are recalcitrant to current therapeutic regimes. A key

Probing of Carbohydrate-Protein Interactions Using Galactonoamidine Inhibitors [PDF]
Glycoside hydrolases are ubiquitous and one of the most catalytically proficient enzymes known, and thus understanding their mechanisms are crucial. Most research has focused on the interaction of the glycon of substrates and their inhibitors within the ...

The molecular basis of lactase persistence: Linking genetics and epigenetics
Abstract Lactase persistence (LP) — the genetic trait that determines the continued expression of the enzyme lactase into adulthood — has undergone recent, rapid positive selection since the advent of animal domestication and dairying in some human populations.
