Structural studies and functional engineering of NanX: an anhydro‐sialic acid transporter from Escherichia coli

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biophysical characterisation shows that NanX, a membrane transport protein from the major facilitator superfamily (MFS), forms both monomers and dimers after purification. AlphaFold modelling and substrate docking provide information on residues likely involved in substrate recognition for NanX and another MFS member, NanT.

Integrative analysis of endogenous phytohormones and transcriptomics reveals mechanism of light-induced callus formation in tea (Camellia sinensis) cuttings

BMC Plant Biology
Backgroud Cutting is the mainly asexual propagation method for tea plant, and moreover, callus formation is a key point for the survival rate of tea cuttings. As reported, light is crucial for callus formation of tea cuttings via influencing phytohormone

From patient advocacy to patient‐driven research: Building active partnerships beginning at the bench to reach the bedside

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Research is strongest when conducted alongside patients, not just about them. Patient research organizations help integrate patient perspectives into research priorities, study design, and scientific meetings, leading to meaningful patient outcomes and development of relevant therapies.

Exploring the Use of High-Resolution Satellite Images to Estimate Corn Silage Yield Within Field

Remote Sensing
Corn (Zea mays L.) silage yield monitor data offer crucial insights into spatial and temporal yield variability. However, equipment’s sensor malfunctioning can result in data loss, and yield sensor systems are expensive to purchase and maintain.

Alteration of soil carbon and nitrogen pools and enzyme activities as affected by increased soil coarseness [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2017
Soil coarseness decreases ecosystem productivity, ecosystem carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) stocks, and soil nutrient contents in sandy grasslands subjected to desertification. To gain insight into changes in soil C and N pools, microbial biomass, and enzyme

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

FEBS 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 ...

A note on the estimation of nutrient value of cattle slurry using easily determined physical and chemical parameters [PDF]

, 2010
peer-reviewedThe composition of cattle slurries can vary greatly due to factors such as farm management, meteorology, animal diet and housing system. Thus, when spread on land, the precise fertiliser value is usually unknown. In this study, 41 samples of
