Yersiniabactin reduces the respiratory oxidative stress response of innate immune cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
Enterobacteriaceae that contain the High Pathogenicity Island (HPI), which encodes the siderophore yersiniabactin, display increased virulence. This increased virulence may be explained by the increased iron scavenging of the bacteria, which would both ...

An unexpected alternative viologen electron mediator site in tungsten‐containing formate dehydrogenase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
An unexpected alternative interaction site for ethyl viologen was identified in formate dehydrogenase 1 from Methylorubrum extorquens. Combined mutagenesis, kinetic analysis, and docking revealed that aromatic residues near an iron–sulfur cluster enable flavin mononucleotide‐independent electron transfer, offering a framework for engineering improved ...

Optimization of sponge iron (direct reduced iron) production with Box-Wilson experimental design by using iron pellets and lignite as reductant

open access: yesRevista de Metalurgia, 2023
Turkey’s iron ores may be used to manufacture sponge iron, and the country’s coal resources, which are plentiful despite being of poor quality, can be used as a reducing agent. With such a production, Electric Arc Furnace based on scrap imports, will be

Cell geometry and membrane protein crowding constrain Escherichia coli growth rate, overflow metabolism, respiration, and maintenance energy

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The physical dimensions and shape of bacterial cells define the surface area available to acquire nutrients and the volume available for synthesizing proteins and DNA. Here, we use computational systems biology to decode the importance of cell geometry as a major determinant of prokaryotic phenotype, including growth rate and metabolic efficiency. This

Production Decision Optimization for Iron and Steel Scrap Remanufacturing considering Carbon Emission and Delivery Time

open access: yesComplexity, 2021
Under the requirements of the national carbon reduction target, the recycling and remanufacturing of scrap iron and steel are taken by major iron and steel enterprises as requirements for implementing industrial carbon emission reduction and are ...

Integrated regulation of stress responses, autophagy and survival by altered intracellular iron stores

open access: yesRedox Biology, 2022
Iron is a mineral essential for blood production and a variety of critical cellular functions. Altered iron metabolism has been increasingly observed in many diseases and disorders, but a comprehensive and mechanistic understanding of the cellular impact

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Toward Decarbonization of the Titanium Industry via Hydrogen Plasma Smelting Reduction

open access: yesAdvanced Science
Surging global demand for titanium, driven by its essential role in aerospace, transportation, chemical industries, and as a white pigment, is intensifying pressure on scarce high‐grade ores, like rutile, leading to their rapid depletion.

Life Cycle Assessment of the Sponge Iron Production Process Using OpenLCA Software: A Case Study of Khuzestan Steel Plant, Iran [PDF]

open access: yesتحقیقات نظام سلامت, 2023
Background: Since sponge iron is the main feed of steel furnaces for the production of crude steel, especially in electric arc furnaces, the production of quality sponge iron is one of the concerns of the steel industry.

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
