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

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Impact loading of ductile rectangular plates [PDF]

open access: yesWIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2010
Abstract In many industries, rigid-plastic methods of analysis are a useful design aid for safety calculations, hazard assessments, security studies and forensic investigations of ductile structures, which are subjected to large dynamic loads producing an inelastic response.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Strain Energy Method for Determining Dynamic Yield Stress in Taylor’s Test

open access: yesEngineering Transactions, 2017
This paper presents a theoretical method for determining dynamic yield stress of metals. The method is based on conversion of the part initial kinetic energy of a metal rod striking a rigid target into the energy of elastic and plastic-strain deformation

The role of embryo movement in the development of the furcula [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The pectoral girdle is a complex structure which varies in its morphology between species. A major component in birds is the furcula, which can be considered equivalent to a fusion of the paired clavicles found in many mammals, and the single ...

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
