The tetrasaccharide linkage region of proteoglycans is synthesized through a series of well‐controlled enzymatic reactions in nature. The expression, activity, and substrate profile of these biosynthetic enzymes and the latest development of chemoenzymatic synthesis of linkage region‐bearing glycopeptides are summarized in this review.

An affitin derived from the Sac7d scaffold enables the light‐controlled affinity purification of antibodies under physiological conditions, thus overcoming limitations of protein A chromatography. X‐ray crystallographic analysis and affinity measurements reveal complex formation with Fc at the CH2/CH3 junction, similar to protein A/G and FnRn. Combined

Engineering of Cyclodextrin Product Specificity and pH Optima of the Thermostable Cyclodextrin Glycosyltransferase from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 [PDF]
The product specificity and pH optimum of the thermostable cyclodextrin glycosyltransferase (CGTase) from Thermoanaerobacterium thermosulfurigenes EM1 was engineered using a combination of x-ray crystallography and site-directed mutagenesis.

Molecular Tweezers for Biomimetic Recognition of Carbohydrates
Molecular tweezers have emerged as effective binders for biomolecules such as lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, eliciting biological activities. Tweezer molecules, which exploit an open and adaptive binding cavity, can target relatively large guests, such as oligosaccharides and glycans, and often provide some advantages over corresponding ...

Merkel cell polyomavirus large T antigen disrupts lysosome clustering by translocating human Vam6p from the cytoplasm to the nucleus [PDF]
Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCV) has been recently described as the cause for most human Merkel cell carcinomas. MCV is similar to simian virus 40 (SV40) and encodes a nuclear large T (LT) oncoprotein that is usually mutated to eliminate viral replication ...

This paper reviews the electrocatalytic activity and selectivity of non‐noble metal‐based catalysts in alternative anode reactions, particularly the glycerol oxidation reaction. It explores mechanistic factors influencing catalytic activity, including metal ions and oxygen species, emphasizing the importance of M─O motifs.

Develop machine learning based predictive models for engineering protein solubility [PDF]
Protein activity is a significant characteristic for recombinant proteins which can be used as biocatalysts. High activity of proteins reduces the cost of biocatalysts. A model that can predict protein activity from amino acid sequence is highly desired, as it aids experimental improvement of proteins.
