HaloTag Fusion Enables Dynamic Analysis of Prion Protein Biosynthesis, Turnover, and Misfolding
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.Prion protein (PrP) misfolding underlies fatal neurodegenerative diseases. We developed a HaloTag‐based PrP fusion enabling spatiotemporal labeling of distinct PrP populations in living cells. This system recapitulates native PrP biology, reveals early misfolding events in disease‐associated mutants, and allows mechanistic interrogation of PrP‐lowering

Selective enrichment yields robust ethene-producing dechlorinating cultures from microcosms stalled at cis-dichloroethene. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Dehalococcoides mccartyi strains are of particular importance for bioremediation due to their unique capability of transforming perchloroethene (PCE) and trichloroethene (TCE) to non-toxic ethene, through the intermediates cis-dichloroethene (cis-DCE ...

Engineering Stealth Properties of Fluorescent Polymeric Nanoparticles by Short‐Chain Polysarcosine
Aggregate, Volume 7, Issue 6, June 2026.To define the minimal polysarcosine chain length required for nanoparticle stealth properties, we engineered dye‐loaded polymeric nanoparticles functionalized with 5‐, 11‐, or 19‐mer peptoids. Only nanoparticles with 19‐mer polysarcosine achieved near‐neutral zeta potential, suppressed nonspecific interactions with glass surface and live cells ...

PFAS properties and destruction methods: A focus on enzymatic degradation
Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 1126-1152, June 2026.Abstract Per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are known as ‘forever’ chemicals and have lasting detrimental impact on the environment and living organisms. To understand PFAS molecules better, this review begins with an overview of PFAS definition, classifications and applications, and then provides a comprehensive summary and critical analysis ...

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) is a redox cofactor derived from prokaryotes that participates in various biological processes involving dehydrogenase enzymes. Previous field trials identified a PQQ‐producing endophyte, Burkholderia seminalis 869T2, which enhances banana growth and reduces Fusarium wilt incidence from 24.5% to 3.4%.

Detection of Organohalide-Respiring Enzyme Biomarkers at a Bioaugmented TCE-Contaminated Field Site
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 RNA-based biomarkers have been successfully detected at field sites undergoing in situ bioremediation, but the detection of expressed enzymes is a more direct way to prove activity for a particular biocatalytic process of interest since they provide ...
