Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

open access: yesFEBS 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.

Revisit of 77 Clusters Candidates with Multiple Main Sequences using Gaia DR3

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Gaia DR3 data provide the latest and full astrometric data for more than 1.5 billion sources, and these allow us to revisit the 77 special open cluster candidates collected from LISC star cluster catalog.

Not an open cluster after all: the NGC 6863 asterism in Aquila

open access: yes, 2009
Shortly after birth, open clusters start dissolving; gradually losing stars into the surrounding star field. The time scale for complete disintegration depends both on their initial membership and location within the Galaxy.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

PSR J1922+37: a 1.9 s Pulsar Discovered in the Direction of the Old Open Cluster NGC 6791

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Letters
More than 300 pulsars have been discovered in Galactic globular clusters; however, none have been found in open clusters. Here we present results from a 20 hr survey of seven open clusters with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope ...

Flare Stars as Age Indicators in Open Clusters [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1990
A new set of isochrones derived from overshooting evolutionary models, allows one to give a homogeneous age determination for open clusters with solar chemical composition and in a range of age 4 107 ÷ 1.5 109 yr. In this context is derived an empirical new age calibration - absolute magnitude of the supposed brightest flare star in a cluster versus ...

A methionine‐lined active site governs carbocation stabilization and product specificity in a bacterial terpene synthase

open access: yesFEBS 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

Revisiting Open Clusters within 200 pc in the Solar Neighborhood with Gaia DR3

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
In this study, we develop a membership identification method and apply it for 30 open clusters (OCs) within 200 pc of the Sun using astrometric data of Gaia DR3.

Search for and investigation of new stellar clusters using the data from huge stellar catalogues

open access: yes, 2005
We present new automatic methods of search for star clusters using the data available in new huge stellar catalogues. Using 2MASS catalogue we have discovered over ten new open clusters in the region of Galaxy anticenter and determined their physical ...
