Identifying and characterising a plant GH1 β‐glucosidase that exhibits hydrolytic activity on N‐linked glucopyranoside

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We report the first β‐glucosidase with demonstrated hydrolytic activity on an N‐linked glycopyranoside. The enzyme, native to maize, was biochemically characterised for this novel reaction, and structural modelling of the enzyme–substrate complex revealed several clues to the underlying reduced catalytic rate relative to its native O‐glycopyranoside ...

Design and Fabrication of Biomimetic Gradient Bone Tissue Engineering Scaffolds: Evolution from Single-Gradient to Multi-Gradient

open access: yesGels
The regeneration of bone and the repair of large segmental bone defects represent critical challenges in regenerative medicine. Natural bone tissue is an anisotropic material characterized by an intricate gradient distribution in structure, mechanical ...

Avidin is evolutionarily conserved in fish but dispensable for development and resistance against Streptococcus agalactiae in zebrafish

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The presence of biotin‐binding avidin proteins in fish and their biological significance are poorly characterized. We cataloged fish avidins and demonstrate that they are widely present and evolutionarily conserved. We created avd knockout zebrafish and show that zebavidin is dispensable for development and that resistance of avd knockout embryos in ...

GelMA‐based 3D spheroids recapitulate transcriptomic and functional hallmarks of myeloid sarcoma

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
GelMA 5% hydrogels support the formation of myeloid leukemia spheroids that recapitulate MS‐specific features, including G1 arrest, apoptosis, and ECM‐driven transcriptomic reprogramming. The 3D model mimicked soft‐tissue‐like stiffness and oxygen conditions, and transcriptomic convergence with primary MS samples confirmed its utility as a preclinical ...

On 'spot' evolution under an adverse pressure gradient [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
The unsteady travelling 'spots' or spot-like disturbances are produced, in an otherwise planar boundary layer, by an initial impulse/blip, from wall forcing or from nearby external forcing. Theory and computations are described for the evolving spot-like

Rprop Using the Natural Gradient

open access: yes, 2005
Gradient-based optimization algorithms are the standard methods for adapting the weights of neural networks. The natural gradient gives the steepest descent direction based on a non-Euclidean, from a theoretical point of view more appropriate metric in ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Natural gradient algorithm for cyclostationary sources

open access: yes, 2002
A new approach to blind source separation of cyclostationary sources is introduced which incorporates a cyclic pre-whitening operation within the learning rule, and thereby provides a new member of the family of natural gradient algorithms. The technique

A continuous/discontinuous Galerkin formulation for a strain gradient-dependent damage model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The numerical solution of strain gradient-dependent continuum problems has been hindered by continuity demands on the basis functions. The presence of terms in constitutive models that involve gradients of the strain field means that the $C^0$ continuity
