Ribonucleotide reductases (RNRs) are valuable biocatalysts for the biosynthesis of non‐natural deoxyribonucleotide, relevant in fields like medical science and synthetic biology. In this study, we explore the substrate spectrum of two thermostable RNRs and discuss their implications for nucleotide metabolism and biocatalytical applications ...

A Constellation of Fluorescent Biosensors to Illuminate the Galaxy of Protein Kinases
Protein kinases (PKs) are enzymes that catalyze phosphorylation of protein substrates involved in a wide variety of biological signalling pathways. This review describes the different families and mechanisms of action and regulation of protein kinases, together with the different classes of fluorescent biosensors that have been engineered and ...

This review surveys nanoparticle‐based strategies to enhance adoptive cell therapy, particularly CAR‐T cell approaches, in solid tumor treatment. It describes how nanoparticles can improve tumor immunogenicity and T‐cell infiltration while reducing toxicity, and how they enable in vivo CAR‐T cell generation.

Researcher highlight: Extending beyond the recently reported compound heterozygous case, we report the same TYMP c.131G>C variant in a homozygous configuration, delivering key genetic evidence for its standalone pathogenicity in MNGIE. ABSTRACT Background Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is an autosomal recessive disorder ...

Boron‐10 carriers and their applications in boron neutron capture therapy
Summary of different types of boron drugs. Abstract Boron neutron capture therapy (BNCT) has emerged as a promising therapeutic modality in cancer treatment, demonstrating the ability to selectively eliminate cancer cells through the 10B(n,α)7Li nuclear reaction with minimal side effects on normal tissues.

Structural insights into urocanate reductase using room‐temperature X‐ray crystallography
The active‐site dynamics of the microbial enzyme urocanate reductase were revealed by room‐temperature X‐ray crystallography.Urocanate reductase (UrdA) is a bacterial enzyme that converts urocanic acid to imidazole propionate. Its catalytic residue Arg411 undergoes a large conformational change in the substrate‐bound versus product‐bound states.

Proteomics reveal Chaetoceros simplex‐evolved populations adopt a conservative, resource‐recycling strategy when exposed to above‐optimal temperatures. This involves downregulating biosynthesis, which helps the organism withstand heat stress. However, this strategy may limit their ability to adapt to high temperatures in environments with low nitrate ...

Gene Expression and Structural Differences Underpinning Black and White Colouration in Spiders
ABSTRACT The presence of multiple color variants within a single population, known as color polymorphism, is a striking example of intraspecific phenotypic variation and a model for studying evolutionary processes. These processes depend on the underlying mechanisms such as the genes and pigments involved; but we currently lack such information for non‐

Purine Nucleoside Phosphorylase Deficiency [PDF]
AbstractThe biochemical features of two families with purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency are compared. Laboratory studies and an evaluation of kinetic and physical properties of erythrocyte purine nucleoside phosphorylase give evidence that a) the degree of abnormality in uric acid and nucleoside concentrations in plasma and urine reflect the ...
