Potassium binding by carbonyl clusters, halophilic adaptation and catalysis of Haloferax mediterranei D-2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenase [PDF]

Communications Biology
Enzymes from salt-in halophiles are stable in conditions of low water activity with applications in chiral synthesis requiring organic solvents, yet the origins of such stability remains poorly understood.

Small RNAs of Haloferax mediterranei: Identification and Potential Involvement in Nitrogen Metabolism. [PDF]

Genes (Basel), 2018
Small RNAs have been studied in detail in domains Bacteria and Eukarya but, in the case of the domain Archaea, the knowledge is scarce and the physiological function of these small RNAs (sRNAs) is still uncertain. To extend the knowledge of sRNAs in the domain Archaea and their possible role in the regulation of the nitrogen assimilation metabolism in ...
