Structures of mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase reveal carrier‐domain translocation between catalytic sites

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mycobacterial 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA carboxylase uses a mobile biotin‐carrying domain to shuttle a carboxyl group between two catalytic sites, enabling carboxylation of 3‐methylcrotonyl‐CoA during leucine breakdown. Cryo‐electron microscopy captures the carrier at both sites and reveals an inward loop movement that may prevent futile rebinding to the ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

Effect of graphite nanoparticles on CO2 hydrate phase equilibrium

open access: yes, 2016
Stepwise heating method was used to determine the hydrate phase equilibrium in the water containing graphite nanoparticles. The results show that, compared with deionized water at a given temperature, a significant upward shift of the formation pressure ...

Physicochemical foundations for soil mechanics

open access: yesYantu gongcheng xuebao
Soil's matrix-water interactions play an unprecedented role in controlling the physicochemical behaviors and mechanical properties of soils. Such physicochemical processes, however, have long been ignored or inadequately expressed in the classical soil ...

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Liquid-solid phase equilibrium study of tetradecane and hexadecane binary mixtures as phase change materials (PCMs) for comfort cooling storage

open access: yes, 2003
Phase diagrams (equilibrium diagrams) are a convenient way of depicting the concentration-temperature-pressure relationships of a chemical system at equilibrium. They are invaluable to PCMs thermal storage researches and developers. In the present paper,

Influence of Gas Composition on Gas Hydrate Stability Zones in the Northern South China Sea

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering
Evaluation of gas hydrate stability in marine sediments is commonly conducted assuming pure methane systems, although increasing drilling and logging evidence indicates that natural gas hydrates frequently contain minor amounts of heavier hydrocarbons ...

Leucine‐rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) is a ganglioside‐binding protein

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neuronal hyperexcitability associated with a decrease/absence of the extracellular protein LGI1 has been suggested to be primarily due to the downregulation of Kv1 channel expression. The molecular mechanisms underlying this decrease have not yet been elucidated.

Tables of phase functions, opacities, albedos, equilibrium temperatures, and radiative accelerations of dust grains in exoplanets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
There has been growing observational evidence for the presence of condensates in the atmospheres and/or comet-like tails of extrasolar planets. As a result, systematic and homogeneous tables of dust properties are useful in order to facilitate further ...
