Fighting Pseudomonas aeruginosa Infections: Antibacterial and Antibiofilm Activity of D-Q53 CecB, a Synthetic Analog of a Silkworm Natural Cecropin B Variant. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci, 2023
Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic Gram-negative bacterium responsible for severe nosocomial infections and is considered a critical pulmonary pathogen for both immunocompromised and cystic fibrosis patients. Planktonic cells of P. aeruginosa possess intrinsic and acquired resistances, inactivating several classes of conventional antibiotics ...

Whole-Genome Sequence of Burkholderia ambifaria Strain Q53, a Potential Plant Growth Promoter Isolated from the Rhizosphere of Peanut. [PDF]

Microbiol Resour Announc, 2023
We report the complete genome sequence of Burkholderia ambifaria strain Q53, an environmental rhizobacterium isolated from the rhizosphere of peanut plants. The genome consists of 7.4 Mbp distributed into three circular chromosomes and was determined using a hybrid long- and short-read assembly approach.

Assignment of the murine ankyrin-repeated protein gene <i>(Ankrd2)</i> to mouse chromosome 19C3→D1 and rat chromosome 1q51→q53 by fluorescence in situ hybridization [PDF]

Cytogenetic and Genome Research, 2004
The human ANKRD2 gene was isolated from a cDNA library of human esophageal carcinoma cell line by immunoscreening (Moriyama et al., 2001), and independently cloned from two other laboratories in relation to skeletal muscle development and stretch-induced hypertrophy (Kemp et al., 2000; Pallavicini et al., 2001).

Machine-Learning-Aided Engineering Hemoglobin as Carbene Transferase for Catalyzing Enantioselective Olefin Cyclopropanation. [PDF]

JACS Au
In this study, we developed a machine-learning-aided protein design strategy for engineering Vitreoscilla hemoglobin (VHb) as carbene transferase. A Natural Language Processing (NLP) model was used for the first time to construct an algorithm (EESP ...

Specific Substrate Activity of Lotus Root Polyphenol Oxidase: Insights from Gaussian-Accelerated Molecular Dynamics and Markov State Models. [PDF]

Int J Mol Sci
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) plays a key role in the enzymatic browning process, and this study employed Gaussian-accelerated molecular dynamics (GaMD) simulations to investigate the catalytic efficiency mechanisms of lotus root PPO with different substrates,

Can Technology Solve the Principal-Agent Problem? Evidence from China's War on Air Pollution

Social Science Research Network, 2020
We examine the introduction of automatic air pollution monitoring to counter suspected tampering at the local level, a central feature of China’s “war on pollution.” Exploiting 654 regression discontinuity designs based on city-level variation in the day

The Effect of Pollution on Worker Productivity: Evidence from Call-Center Workers in China

American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2016
We investigate the effect of pollution on worker productivity in the service sector by focusing on two call centers in China. Using precise measures of each worker’s daily output linked to daily measures of pollution and meteorology, we find that higher ...

Why is Pollution from U.S. Manufacturing Declining? The Roles of Environmental Regulation, Productivity, and Trade

The American Economic Review, 2015
Between 1990 and 2008, air pollution emissions from US manufacturing fell by 60 percent despite a substantial increase in manufacturing output. We show that these emissions reductions are primarily driven by within-product changes in emissions intensity ...

Severe Air Pollution and Labor Productivity: Evidence from Industrial Towns in China

American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2018
We examine day-to-day fluctuations in worker-level output at two manufacturing sites in China. Ambient fine-particle (PM2.5) pollution is severe but significantly variable, largely due to exogenous atmospheric ventilation.
