Thermal stability of Cpl-7 endolysin from the streptococcus pneumoniae bacteriophage Cp-7; cell wall-targeting of its CW_7 motifs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Endolysins comprise a novel class of selective antibacterials refractory to develop resistances. The Cpl-7 endolysin, encoded by the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteriophage Cp-7, consists of a catalytic module (CM) with muramidase activity and a cell wall-

An Engineered PfAgo with Wide Catalytic Temperature Range and Substrate Spectrum
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work presents a strategy for engineering thermophilic Ago proteins to obtain wide catalytic temperature range and broad substrate spectrum. This strategy is applied to engineer PfAgo and TtdAgo, and the biochemical properties of the engineered PfAgo are systematically characterized. The study further elucidates the structural differences involved.

Engineered Tissue Models to Decode Host–Microbiota Interactions
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Host–Microbiota interactions in the human body. Created in BioRender. Ghezzi, C. (2025) https://BioRender.com/ihivskg. Abstract A mutualistic co‐evolution exists between the host and its associated microbiota in the human body. Bacteria establish ecological niches in various tissues of the body, locally influencing their physiology and functions, but ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.In the tripartite‐species model, Drosophila larvae stimulate lactate production through excreting digestion enzymes. S. marcescens population senses a cue of lactate and tends to diverge into virulent and reduced virulence subclusters with remarkable heterogeneity to metabolize carbon metabolism and counter colonization resistance, giving a fitness ...

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.A consecutive, controllable, and revertible new‐to‐nature ligation and cleavage strategy has been rationally devised to selectively visualize and manipulate biomolecules of interest. The photoclick cycloaddition between allenyl phenyl ether motifs and 9,10‐phenanthrenequinone analogues installed a terminal allyl handle at the exocyclic site, thereby ...

Electrochemical‐Genetic Programming of Protein‐Based Magnetic Soft Robots for Active Drug Delivery
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This manuscript presents a protein‐based soft robot for active drug delivery. Stimuli‐responsive protein is rationally designed and processed into the substrate of robots. Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles are patterned on the substrate using an electrochemical method, enabling the robot to respond to external physical fields.
