A smart peptide hydrogel integrated with light‐responsive silver nanoclusters establishes a localized anaerobic niche, enabling hydrogenase function in oxygen‐rich biological environments. The system achieves sustained visible‐light‐driven H2 production, effectively scavenges reactive oxygen species, modulates immune responses, and significantly ...

Abstract Structural predictions have reached unprecedented accuracy. They leverage sequence‐specific data to capture all potential interactions a sequence has evolved to fulfill. AlphaFold derives information from three sources: learned parameters capturing intrinsic amino acid secondary structure and environment propensity; models of related proteins ...

ABSTRACT The sodium‐pumping ubiquinone oxidoreductase sodium pumping quinone reductase (NQR) is an important enzyme in the respiratory chain of multiple pathogenic gram‐negative bacteria. NQR has been proposed as a viable antibiotic target due to its importance in supporting energy‐consuming reactions and its absence in human cells.

The oleic acid and azide inhibited the cytochrome c oxidase activity in Pseudomonas aeruginosa MCC 5300, shifting the electron flux towards bd‐oxidase. This resulted in more NADH consumption to maintain the proton gradient for energy generation. The rapid depletion of NADH triggered high mcl‐PHA accumulation.

Protein quality control in the bacterial periplasm
The proper functioning of extracytoplasmic proteins requires their export to, and productive folding in, the correct cellular compartment. All proteins in Escherichia coli are initially synthesized in the cytoplasm, then follow a pathway that depends ...

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Flavin Biosynthesis Enhances Extracellular Electron Transfer in Bioengineered Escherichia coli
Microbial electronics are promising for energy, sensing, environmental, and synthesis applications. E. coli are engineered with extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathways from a microbe that naturally produces current to enable bioelectronics based on E. coli.

Laccases from lactic acid bacteria show cuprous oxidase activity and capture Cu(II) and Ag(I) ions
Abstract Several laccases derived from lactic acid bacteria (LAB) display specific structural features, such as two methionine residues at the entrance of the T1Cu center, and an extended C‐terminal end enriched in methionine and histidine. To investigate their functional roles, we engineered mutant variants of the laccase Pp4816 from Pediococcus ...

Structural and functional specialization of Bordetella pertussis DsbA for pertussis toxin folding
Abstract Disulphide bonds (Dsbs) are essential for the folding, stability, and function of many secreted and membrane‐associated proteins in bacteria. In Gram‐negative species, these bonds are introduced by the Dsb enzyme family, with DsbA acting as the primary thiol oxidase.
