Helping proteins come in from the cold: 5 burning questions about cold-active enzymes
Enzymes from psychrophilic (cold-loving) organisms have attracted considerable interest over the past decades for their potential in various low-temperature industrial processes.

ABSTRACT Orthogonal translation systems (OTSs) enable site‐specific incorporation of non‐canonical amino acids (ncAAs) and are central to genetic code expansion. Current engineering strategies typically rely on hyperstable aminoacyl tRNA synthetase (aaRS) scaffolds to tolerate destabilizing mutations required for substrate diversification.

Mechanozyme: An Artificial Enzyme With a Mechanophore Framework
Mechanical destabilization of a G‐quadruplex mechanophore in a DNAzyme markedly boosts its catalytic activity, demonstrating “mechanozymes” as artificial enzymes whose functions are modulated by mechanical stress exerted by ultrasonication. This mechanozyme principle is broadly applicable to control biomolecular activities.

Nature inspired engineering: bioprospecting for novel psychrophilic enzymes from the Antarctic tunicate, Salpa thompsoni [PDF]
Nature-inspired engineering offers an alternative approach to solving key sustainability challenges in bioprocessing by looking to fundamental mechanisms that occur in nature for inspiration on solutions to key bioprocessing obstacles. The degradation of

Discovery of a cryptic aminoacidic triad involved in the temperature adaptation of GH1 enzymes
Cold‐active enzymes retain high catalytic activity at low temperatures but are characterized by thermal instability, a behavior not fully understood. Comparison between a cold‐active GH1 and its mesophilic counterparts highlights the role of a three‐residue motif (W‐M‐F) in conferring structural stability to a mesophilic GH1.

This graphical abstract illustrates the superior preservative effects of essential oil‐enriched beeswax coatings on rainbow trout fillets compared to conventional methods. The application of these natural active coatings, particularly with 4% laurel essential oil, significantly slowed biochemical spoilage, improved textural attributes, and preserved ...

Study on the potential of cold-active lipases from psychrotrophic fungi for detergent formulation
Lipases from psychrotrophic fungal isolates BPF4 and BPF6 identified as Penicilium canesense and Pseudogymnoascus roseus respectively were characterized for their compatibility towards laundry detergent.

Combined plasma‐activated water and ultrasound‐treated water under modified atmosphere packaging improved microbial safety and quality retention of fresh‐cut kiwifruit. Optimized treatments reduced microbial growth and preserved physicochemical and sensory attributes, demonstrating a promising nonthermal strategy for fresh produce preservation ...
