The tryptophan prenyltransferase ComQ from Bacillus subtilis 168 can prenylate daptomycin at Trp1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
ComQ168 from Bacillus subtilis 168 catalyzes C‐terminal tryptophan farnesylation of ComX to generate a competence‐inducing pheromone. Recombinant ComQ168 also modifies cyclic peptides, including Daptomycin, likely at the N‐terminal tryptophan. Structural modeling highlights a C‐terminal binding region, supporting substrate promiscuity and establishing ...

Potential of organogel‐based colloidal hydrogels for new cosmetic formulations

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Colloidal hydrogels are formed by combining anionic, cationic, or nonionic surfactants with two oils of cosmetic interest: sweet almond oil and phytosqualane. These systems are obtained through hot emulsification followed by cooling, which leads to the aggregation of gel‐like particles.

From Virtual Modelling to Smarter Endodontic Innovation: In Silico Research for Translational Decision Making

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim To discuss how in silico research may function as an early translational decision layer in endodontics by supporting the prioritisation of hypotheses, technologies and experimental conditions before biological and clinical validation. Summary Endodontic outcomes emerge from interacting anatomical, mechanical, chemical, microbial and host ...

Maintaining Legitimacy in Global Labor Governance: Legitimation Politics at the International Labour Organization (ILO)

Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article analyzes how industrial relations actors maintain legitimacy in global labor governance by investigating the legitimation politics at the International Labour Organization (ILO). Drawing on the concept of legitimacy tests, we identify three strategies that the workers' and employers' groups at the ILO have deployed to maintain ...

The Agencies of the European Union: A Glimmer of Hope for Enlargement?

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years, the process of EU enlargement has become increasingly difficult. The longer the process drags on and the less likely accession appears, the more the candidate states are discouraged and the less influential the EU becomes. A different approach to integration must therefore be used.
