Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This study reveals a unique active site enriched in methionine residues and demonstrates that these residues play a critical role by stabilizing carbocation intermediates through novel sulfur–cation interactions. Structure‐guided mutagenesis further revealed variants with significantly altered product profiles, enhancing pseudopterosin formation. These

A note on hyperbolic relaxation of the Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard system for incompressible two-phase flows [PDF]
ESAIM: Proceedings and SurveysWe consider the two-phase dynamics of two incompressible and immiscible fluids. As a mathematical model we rely on the Navier-Stokes-Cahn-Hilliard system that belongs to the class of diffuse-interface models.

Investigation of hidden-charm pentaquarks with strangeness $$S=-1$$ S = - 1
European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2022 Recently, a new hidden-charm pentaquark state $$P_{cs}(4459)$$ P cs ( 4459 ) was reported by the LHCb Collaboration. Stimulated by the fact that all hidden-charm pentaquark states in $$S=0$$ S = 0 systems were successfully studied by the chiral quark ...

Peroxidasin enables melanoma immune escape by inhibiting natural killer cell cytotoxicity
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Peroxidasin (PXDN) is secreted by melanoma cells and binds the NK cell receptor NKG2D, thereby suppressing NK cell activation and cytotoxicity. PXDN depletion restores NKG2D signaling and enables effective NK cell–mediated melanoma killing. These findings identify PXDN as a previously unrecognized immune evasion factor and a potential target to improve
