α/β Hydrolases: Toward Unraveling Entangled Classification
Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, Volume 93, Issue 4, Page 855-870, April 2025.ABSTRACT α/β Hydrolase‐like enzymes form a large and functionally diverse superfamily of proteins. Despite retaining a conserved structural core consisting of an eight‐stranded, central β‐sheet flanked with six α‐helices, they display a modular architecture allowing them to perform a variety of functions, like esterases, lipases, peptidases, epoxidases,

Does Variation of the Inter-Domain Linker Sequence Modulate the Metal Binding Behaviour of Helix pomatia Cd-Metallothionein? [PDF]
, 2016 Snail metallothioneins (MTs) constitute an ideal model to study structure/function relationships in these metal-binding polypeptides. Helix pomatia harbours three MT isoforms: the highly specific CdMT and CuMT, and an unspecific Cd/CuMT, which represent ...

Morphology of the unique egg cases of hornsharks (Heterodontiformes: Heterodontidae)
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 106, Issue 2, Page 389-402, February 2025.Abstract Many of the egg cases of oviparous chondrichthyans remain unknown and undescribed in the literature. Egg cases can be a useful taxonomic character for species distinction and can be a valuable indicator of a species distribution in the field.

Eocene gastropods of the New Forest, UK
Geology Today, Volume 41, Issue 1, Page 26-37, January/February 2025.Gastropods expanded into niches vacated by both terrestrial and marine organisms following the end‐Cretaceous mass extinction, to become one of the dominant mollusc groups of the Cenozoic. The Selsey Formation of Eocene age was deposited within a shallow marine embayment across the Hampshire Basin (southern England) and contains a particularly diverse ...
