Some Like It Hot –Structural Changes in Extremophile Rubredoxin at 120 °C
Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 5, 28 January 2026.We reveal the high temperature crystal structure of a hyperthermophilic (Pyrococcus furiosus) rubredoxin at 393 K (120 °C), together with multiple complementary structures down to 100 K. The results are compared with molecular dynamics calculations. Significant changes in H‐bonding are observed.

Disappearing Kilimanjaro snow—Are we the last generation to explore equatorial glacier biodiversity?
Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Glaciation accompanied our human ancestors in Africa throughout the Pleistocene. Regrettably, equatorial glaciers and snow are disappearing rapidly, and we are likely the last generation who will get to know these peculiar places. Despite the permanently
