Inactivation of the Burkholderia Toxin Malleicyprol by Enzymatic Cyclopropanol Ring Opening

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Burkholderia pseudomallei and Burkholderia mallei are dangerous pathogens that cause severe diseases with high mortality rates. Their virulence relies in part on malleicyprols, potent toxins containing a highly reactive cyclopropanol group. In this study, we identify BurK, a heme‐dependent oxidoreductase that neutralizes malleicyprols by enzymatically ...

Grain Boundary Space Charge Engineering of Solid Oxide Electrolytes: Model Thin Film Study

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates unprecedented control of grain boundary electrical properties in solid electrolytes. Selective diffusion of cations through grain boundaries in thin films enables 12 orders of magnitude variation in ionic resistance, proving that systematic chemical modification of grain boundary electrical properties is feasible.
