Insights into the catalytic mechanism of formate dehydrogenases from different microbial sources
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.This integrated study combines experimental enzyme kinetics with QM/MM simulations to map the catalytic mechanisms of four formate dehydrogenases at the atomic level. This approach reveals the key determinants of catalytic efficiency and guides the rational design of biocatalysts for effective CO2 reduction—a crucial step towards sustainable ...

Crystal Packing of Protomers Provides a Valuable Structural Insight into Protein Structure
CrystalsThe crystal structure of proteins is generally considered static due to the constraints imposed by crystal packing. We determined the crystal structure of rice NADP-malic enzyme 2 (OsNADP-ME2), an oxidative decarboxylase that converts malic acid to ...

Photoenzymatic Hydroalkylation Enables Streamlined Access to Aryl Glutarimide Precursors. [PDF]
Angew Chem Int Ed EnglWe report a photoenzymatic hydroalkylation that enables streamlined, stereocontrolled access to aryl glutarimide precursors relevant to targeted protein degradation. Engineered flavin‐dependent “ene”‐reductases provide broad scope and high enantioselectivity through a distinct electron transfer–enantioselective proton transfer pathway.

Fast & fuelious: the malate–aspartate shuttle in brown adipocyte lipid metabolism
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Brown adipose tissue (BAT) produces heat in response to cold exposure, for which it relies on the coordination of aerobic and anaerobic metabolism. However, how reaction intermediates connect these two essential pathways is unclear. In this issue of The FEBS Journal, Veliova et al., report that the malate–aspartate shuttle (MAS) supports norepinephrine‐

The multidimensional regulation roles and mechanisms of calcium in fruit quality
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review explores how calcium signaling molecule integrates plant hormones, environmental cues, and developmental signals to influence external fruit traits, internal nutritional properties, and physiological disorders. ABSTRACT Calcium (Ca2+), a dual‐functional mineral that serves both as an essential structural factor and a signaling molecule ...

Genomic variation drives plant flavor diversification
Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.This review explains how genomic variation shapes plant flavor by altering the biosynthetic and regulatory pathways of key attributes like sweetness, acidity, bitterness, piquancy, astringency, and aroma. It also discusses how multi‐omics, AI‐assisted breeding, and gene editing can translate this knowledge into plants with improved flavor, nutrition ...
