Unprecedented Nitrite‐Dependent Aromatic Amination to Synthesize 2,4‐Diamino‐3‐Hydroxybenzoic Acid
By comparing the biosynthetic gene clusters for natural products with 2,4‐diamino‐3‐hydroxybenzoic acid (2,4,3‐DAHBA) moiety and heterologous expression in Streptomyces albus, we identified nine genes required for the biosynthesis of 2,4,3‐DAHBA, including nitrite biosynthesis genes.

Improvement of catalytic performance of lignin peroxidase for the enhanced degradation of lignocellulose biomass based on the imbedded electron-relay in long-range electron transfer route [PDF]
Background: Although lignin peroxidase is claimed as a key enzyme in enzyme-catalyzed lignin degradation, in vitro enzymatic degradation of lignin was not easily observed in lab-scale experiments.

The Morchella mycelium polysaccharide (MP), a homogeneous α‐glucan (96.555% glucose, 5.7 kDa), protects against alcohol‐induced liver injury in mice. It reduces serum ALT/AST, improves lipid metabolism, and enhances antioxidants and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. Mechanistically, the MP suppresses Nlrp3 inflammasome‐mediated inflammation/pyroptosis and

Oxidative protein biogenesis and redox regulation in the mitochondrial intermembrane space [PDF]
Mitochondria are organelles that play a central role in cellular metabolism, as they are responsible for processes such as iron/sulfur cluster biogenesis, respiration and apoptosis.

Structural and functional specialization of Bordetella pertussis DsbA for pertussis toxin folding
Abstract Disulphide bonds (Dsbs) are essential for the folding, stability, and function of many secreted and membrane‐associated proteins in bacteria. In Gram‐negative species, these bonds are introduced by the Dsb enzyme family, with DsbA acting as the primary thiol oxidase.

Enzyme-catalyzed protein crosslinking [PDF]
The process of protein crosslinking comprises the chemical, enzymatic, or chemoenzymatic formation of new covalent bonds between polypeptides. This allows (1) the site-directed coupling of proteins with distinct properties and (2) the de novo assembly of

Improving kinetic or thermodynamic stability of an azoreductase by directed evolution [PDF]
Protein stability arises from a combination of factors which are often difficult to rationalise. Therefore its improvement is better addressed through directed evolution than by rational design approaches.

Surface Immobilized His-tagged Azurin as a Model Interface for the Investigation of Vectorial Electron Transfer in Biological Systems [PDF]
A model system for the electrochemical investigation of vectorial electron transfer in biological systems was designed, assembled and characterized. Gold electrodes, functionalized with a -OCH3 terminated, aromatic self-assembled monolayer, were used as ...
