Mechanical control of molecular machines at an air–water interface: manipulation of molecular pliers, paddles

open access: yesScience and Technology of Advanced Materials
Many artificial molecular machines have been synthesized, and various functions have been expressed by changing their molecular conformations. However, their structures are still simple compared with those of biomolecular machines, and more energy is ...

Tau acetylation at K331 has limited impact on tau pathology in vivo

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
We mapped tau post‐translational modifications in humanized MAPT knock‐in mice and in amyloid‐bearing double knock‐in mice. Acetylation within the repeat domain, particularly around K331, showed modest increases under amyloid pathology. To test functional relevance, we generated MAPTK331Q knock‐in mice.

For a Correct Application of the CD Exciton Chirality Method: The Case of Laucysteinamide A

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2018
The circular dichroism (CD) exciton chirality method (ECM) is a very popular approach for assigning the absolute configuration (AC) of natural products, thanks to its immediacy and ease of application.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Crystal structure and conformational analysis of 2-hydroxy-3-(2-methylprop-1-en-1-yl)naphthalene-1,4-dione

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2016
In the structure of the title compound, C14H12O3, the substituent side chain, in which the H atoms of both methyl groups are disordered over six equivalent sites, lies outside of the plane of the naphthalenedione ring.

Crystal structures of the recreational drug N-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (MeOPP) and three of its salts

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications, 2020
Crystal structures are reported for N-(4-methoxyphenyl)piperazine (MeOPP), (I), and for its 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, 2,4,6-trinitrophenolate (picrate) and 4-aminobenzoate salts, (II)–(IV), the last of which crystallizes as a monohydrate. In MeOPP, C11H16N2O,

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.
