Investigating enzyme function by geometric matching of catalytic motifs

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract The rapidly growing universe of predicted protein structures offers opportunities for data driven exploration but requires computationally scalable and interpretable tools. We developed a method to detect catalytic features in protein structures, providing insights into enzyme function and mechanism.

Metagenomics Reveals Microbial Community Shifts Associated With Contrasting Anthropogenic Impacts in Freshwater Sources of A Coastal Protected Area in Southeastern Brazil

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 9, September 2026.
Metagenomics revealed distinct anthropogenic signatures in the microbiome of freshwater sources on Marambaia Island, supported by the Anthropogenic Impact Index (AII). Impacted sites showed lower microbial diversity, enrichment of fecal‐associated taxa, and 14 antimicrobial resistance genes, whereas conductivity, salinity, and turbidity explained 88.1%

Combination of Oral Doxycycline and Rifampin for Pan‐Drug Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae Infection: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Pan‐drug resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae is a major therapeutic challenge, particularly when standard last‐line agents are unavailable or contraindicated. We report a 45‐year‐old man with multifocal osteomyelitis and persistent purulent wound discharge despite broad‐spectrum antibiotics, repeated debridement, and two sequential amputations ...
