FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.The crystal structure of Borrelia burgdorferi nicotinamidase (PncA/BBE22) reveals the correct full‐length protein initiated from a non‐canonical AUU start codon. The structure validates previous biochemical findings and resolves a long‐standing annotation error, demonstrating that the truncated database sequence is structurally incompatible with the ...

Directed evolution of enzymes at the crossroads of tradition and innovation
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.An iterative cycle of data‐driven enzyme optimization comprising four stages: genetic diversification of a template enzyme, expression of protein variants, high‐throughput evaluation, and machine‐learning‐guided redesign of the next variant library.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Magnesium production by carbothermic reduction in vacuum
Journal of Magnesium and Alloys, 2015 In present work, we investigate production of magnesium by carbothermic reduction under vacuum conditions. The process was divided into two parts, one is reduction process, and the other one is condensation process. The experimental results revealed that

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.We describe detailed protocols for the purification and preparation of Marchantia polymorpha Auxin Response Factor 2 (MpARF2). This protein is fused to an MBP solubility tag and an mNG fluorescent tag and is purified from Escherichia coli. The presented procedures make it possible to study MpARF2 assemblies, which could arise from phase separation ...

Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

Microwave-assisted and regular leaching of germanium from the germanium-rich lignite ash
Green Processing and Synthesis, 2018 Demand for germanium (Ge) is rapidly growing in recent years in various fields including semiconductors, aerospace, and solar cells. However, the Ge resources are very limited in the world.

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...
