Advanced Materials, Volume 36, Issue 31, August 1, 2024.A palladium hydride (PdHx) film, fabricated on titanium implants, exhibits a lattice capable of capturing protons within the bacterial microenvironment, consequently inducing bacterial death. Furthermore, it mimics human antioxidant systems, reshaping the osteogenic immune microenvironment and promoting osteogenesis.

De‐nitrosylation Coordinates Appressorium Function for Infection of the Rice Blast Fungus
Advanced Science, Volume 11, Issue 26, July 10, 2024.Nitric oxide (NO) is essential for Magnaporthe oryzae development and stress response. This research reveals that GSNOR‐mediated de‐nitrosylation is vital for appressorium formation and crucial for fungal infection. Proteomic analysis identifies a broad S‐nitrosylation network, with GSNOR regulating key proteins for infection.

Catalysis of Peroxide Reduction by Fast Reacting Protein Thiols [PDF]
, 2019 Life on Earth evolved in the presence of hydrogen peroxide, and other peroxides also emerged before and with the rise of aerobic metabolism. They were considered only as toxic byproducts for many years.

Catalytic promiscuity of ancestral esterases and hydroxynitrile lyases
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2016 Catalytic promiscuity is a useful, but accidental, enzyme property, so finding catalytically promiscuous enzymes in nature is inefficient. Some ancestral enzymes were branch points in the evolution of new enzymes and are hypothesized to have been ...

New Family of Ulvan Lyases Identified in Three Isolates from the Alteromonadales Order*
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2016 Ulvan is the main polysaccharide component of the Ulvales (green seaweed) cell wall. It is composed of disaccharide building blocks comprising 3-sulfated rhamnose linked to d-glucuronic acid (GlcUA), l-iduronic acid (IdoUA), or d-xylose (Xyl).

Effect of mitochondrially targeted vitamin E on oxidative stress and obesity development in C57BL/6 mice [PDF]
, 2009 It was reported that mitochondrial aconitase was particularly susceptible to oxidative damage among those mitochondrial proteins because the electrophilicity of the fourth labile iron atom in its labile iron–sulfur cluster renders it especially sensitive

Mechanisms of iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis in eukaryotes [PDF]
, 2023 Many essential cellular proteins use iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters as cofactors. These proteins often serve as enzymes, components of the electron-transport chain or as intracellular sensors.
