Insights into the catalytic mechanism of formate dehydrogenases from different microbial sources
This integrated study combines experimental enzyme kinetics with QM/MM simulations to map the catalytic mechanisms of four formate dehydrogenases at the atomic level. This approach reveals the key determinants of catalytic efficiency and guides the rational design of biocatalysts for effective CO2 reduction—a crucial step towards sustainable ...

Polyesterase activity and thermostability of carboxylesterases from Thermoleophilum album YS‐3
Three novel α/β‐hydrolases from thermophilic bacterium Thermoleophilum album display carboxylesterase and polyesterase activity. These enzymes hydrolyse PET, PLA and PCL both at high and moderate temperatures. TA21 shows superior activity, efficiently converting MHET to terephthalic acid. Structural features underlying substrate binding highlight their

Investigated mutations in transthyretin (TTR) disrupt the F87‐centered hydrophobic core that stabilizes its tetrameric structure. The mild I107V mutation weakens inter‐chain packing, while H88R fully abolishes tetramer formation, yielding a monomeric, aggregation‐prone form. Structural, biophysical, and computational analyses reveal that both mutations

The Structure of Vertebrate Antigen Receptor Repertoires: An Evolutionary Perspective
ABSTRACT In vertebrate adaptive immune systems, somatically diversified antigen receptors assume a central role in self/nonself discrimination. Attesting to the presence of a unique but unknown selective environment at early stages of vertebrate evolution, this facility emerged twice, in the ancestors of jawless and jawed vertebrates.

Abstract The long‐term suitability of defatted Tenebrio molitor larvae meal (TM) as a substitute for fish meal (FM) protein was evaluated in Chindongo socolofi over a 170‐day feeding period. Six isonitrogenous (38% crude protein) and isoenergetic (4396 kcal kg−1) diets were formulated, in which TM protein replaced FM protein at 0% (control), 20%, 40 ...
