Structural insights and therapeutic targets in Acinetobacter baumannii capsule biosynthesis

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Hypervirulent KL49 A. baumannii's capsular polysaccharide contains the nonulosonic acid 8‐epi‐Leg5,7Ac2, synthesized by epimerization via ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC. Crystal structures of ElaA, ElaB, and ElaC reveal their role in CMP‐Leg5,7Ac2 synthesis and regioselective C8 epimerization.

Non-Monotonic Stability Evolution of In Situ Tunnel Expansion: Insights from Physical Model Tests and Numerical Simulation

open access: yesBuildings
In situ tunnel expansion provides a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative to new tunnel construction. However, staged widening disturbs the lining–rock system, triggering complex, non-monotonic stability responses.

The Standard Model of Particle Physics: Status and Low-Energy Tests [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Precision measurements of low-energy observables provide stringent tests of the Standard Model structure and accurate determinations of its parameters. An overview of the present experimental status is presented. The main topics discussed are the muon anomalous magnetic moment, the asymptotic freedom of strong interactions, the lepton universality of ...

Design and analysis strategies for robust microbiome ageing research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The gut microbiome changes with age and associates with age‐related morbidity and mortality, establishing it as a potential biomarker and intervention target for ageing. Realising this potential requires methodological rigour, yet distinguishing biological signals from methodological artefacts remains challenging across cohorts. This review provides an

Flow-like Movement and Failure Mechanism of Landslides Induced by Concentrated Rear Runoff: Insights from Physical Model Tests

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Concentrated rear runoff is an important hydraulic factor that promotes slope instability and flow-like transport characteristics in mountainous landslides; however, the deformation–failure process of slopes and their response relationships under ...

Reconstructing enzyme evolution by protein engineering

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Natural enzyme evolution can be retraced by protein engineering methods such as directed evolution, rational design, and ancestral sequence reconstruction. These approaches reveal how enzymes emerged from ligand‐binding scaffolds, developed varying substrate preferences, formed oligomeric complexes, adapted to environmental changes, and evolved novel ...
