Bacteriophage-encoded depolymerases: their diversity and biotechnological applications [PDF]

, 2016
Bacteriophages (phages), natural enemies of bacteria, can encode enzymes able to degrade polymeric substances. These substances can be found in the bacterial cell surface, such as polysaccharides, or are produced by bacteria when they are living in ...

Protein glycosylation in lung cancer from a mass spectrometry perspective

Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 455-475, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Lung cancer is a severe disease for which better diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are urgently needed. Increasing evidence implies that aberrant protein glycosylation plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis and progression of lung cancer.

Unraveling the molecular mechanism of polysaccharide lyases for efficient alginate degradation

Nature Communications
Alginate lyases (ALs) are essential for breaking down brown macroalgae alginates, widely used naturally-occurring polysaccharides. Their molecular mechanisms remain challenging due to the lack of catalytically competent Michaelis-Menten complex structures.

Characterisation of High Alkaline-Tolerant Novel Ulvan Lyase from Pseudoalteromonas agarivorans: Potential Applications of Enzyme Derived Oligo-Ulvan as Anti-Diabetic Agent

Marine Drugs
Green algae, particularly Ulva species, are rich in complex polysaccharides, such as ulvan, which have significant potential for biotechnological applications. However, the biochemical properties of ulvan depolymerised products remain underexplored.

Liver Fibrosis: Molecular Pathogenesis and Therapeutic Interventions

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 5, May 2026.
We systematically summarized the etiologies, diagnostic approaches, and pathogenic mechanisms of liver fibrosis. Also, the therapeutic interventions for liver fibrosis were systematically classified into two main categories: etiological treatment and mechanism‐based antifibrotic therapies.

Novel GH115 xylan α‐1,2‐glucuronidases with distinct preferences for xylan‐derived oligomers and polymers

Protein Science, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Natural polymers are promising sustainable materials for diverse applications. Xylans, major components of hemicellulose, exhibit origin‐dependent substitution patterns that determine their physicochemical properties. Targeted enzymatic modification of these substituents offers a mild and precise approach for tailoring the polymer's ...

A nanostructural view of the cell wall disassembly process during fruit ripening and postharvest storage by atomic force microscopy [PDF]

, 2018
Background: The mechanical properties of parenchyma cell walls and the strength and extension of adhesion areas between adjacent cells, jointly with cell turgor, are main determinants of firmness of fleshy fruits.
