Remarkable Hydrogen Storage on Beryllium Oxide Clusters: First Principles Calculations

, 2016
Since the current transportation sector is the largest consumer of oil, and subsequently responsible for major air pollutants, it is inevitable to use alternative renewable sources of energies for vehicular applications. The hydrogen energy seems to be a

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Post-synthetic modification of UiO-66 analogue metal-organic framework as potential solid sorbent for direct air capture

Journal of CO2 Utilization
Direct air capture (DAC) offers a powerful strategy to counteract climate change by reducing the carbon dioxide levels in the air. Developing sorbent materials capable of sucking carbon dioxide gas continuously emitted into our atmosphere is critical. In

Hydrogen Energy Storage

, 2019
The dominating trend of variable renewable energy sources (RES) continues to underpin the early retirement of baseload power generating sources such as coal, nuclear, and natural gas steam generators; however, the need to maintain system reliability remains the challenge.

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

Surface oxygen vacancy defects induced CoTiO3-x perovskite nanostructures for highly efficient catalytic activity from acidic and seawater electrolysis

Results in Physics, 2023
Efficient electrocatalysts have great demand for improved hydrogen evolution (HE) from natural seawater splitting. In this work, a new type of oxygen (O2) vacancies and Ti3+ defective perovskite nanostructures (DPNSs) of D-CoTiO3-x were prepared by using

Enhancement of bisphenol a removal from wastewater via the covalent functionalization of graphene oxide with short amine molecules

Case Studies in Chemical and Environmental Engineering, 2022
Water pollution is a serious environmental problem worldwide. This problem is augmented by the shortages in fresh water supplies in several parts of the world. Thus, the effective treatment and reuse of polluted water is an inevitable necessity.
