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 ...

Corona triode poling of P(VDF-TrFE) nanofibers: Mechanisms and optimization strategies
Journal of Science: Advanced Materials and DevicesThe effectiveness of the poling process of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) nanofibers is essential for their use in engineering applications (i.e., artificial piezoelectric skins, self-sensing composite materials).

The diverse diaspora of CAM: a pole-to-pole sketch
Annals of Botany, 2023 Abstract Background Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis is a successful adaptation that has evolved often in angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns and lycophytes. Present in ~5 % of vascular plants, the CAM diaspora includes all continents apart from Antarctica. Species with CAM inhabit

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

The C‐terminal domain of yeast Arginyltransferase1 is essential for its catalytic activity
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Arginyltransferase 1 (Ate1), a eukaryotic enzyme, catalyses arginylation, transferring arginine from tRNA‐Arg to the amino terminus of the target protein. Overexpression of Ate1 in yeast is lethal and is dependent on arginylation. This study elucidates how mutations in the cofactor‐binding and active site of Ate1 and truncation of its structural ...

Who needs contacts? Optical fiber poling by induction
Conventional thermal poling methods require direct physical contact to internal fibers electrodes. Here, we report a novel indirect method in which external fields are used to charge floating internal electrodes to generate depletion regions for ...

The British Journal of Radiology, 1988 An 81-year-old Polish gentleman underwent emergency repair of a leaking abdominal aortic aneurysm with a straight-woven Dacron graft. A large left-sided retroperitoneal hacmatoma was noted at that time. Eight days post-operatively, he developed a pyrexia and left-sided abdominal tenderness.
