Crystal structure of the plant GABA aminotransferase AtGABA‐T from Arabidopsis thaliana
Acta Crystallographica Section F, EarlyView.The crystal structure of A. thaliana γ‐aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA‐T) reveals that plant GABA‐T belongs to the class III aminotransferase family and employs a C‐terminal arginine residue for γ‐aminobutyric acid recognition, in contrast to the N‐terminal arginine used by class II enzymes.γ‐Aminobutyric acid aminotransferase (GABA‐T) is a ...

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type I (CDA‐I) arises from mutations in Codanin1 and CDIN1. Using quantitative biophysical approaches, we show that disease‐associated mutations disrupt the CDIN1‐Codanin1 complex. Our findings provide critical insights into the molecular mechanism that links protein dysfunction to disturbing chromatin arrangement ...

Water, water, every where—the advent of hydrated pili structure
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.Protein structure is defined by its surrounding water. Naturally, this is also true for the gigantic protein filaments that pathogenic bacteria use to attach to and colonize their host cells. Structures of these filaments for which water can be identified with high confidence have stayed elusive for the longest time.

Unraveling the active site cover of coproheme decarboxylase from Listeria monocytogenes
The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.During heme biosynthesis in Gram‐positive bacteria, coproheme decarboxylase (ChdC) catalyzes the conversion of four‐propionate substrate coproheme to the two propionate product heme b. Its active site is universally covered by a flexible linking loop. This study identifies an important histidine residue, which stabilizes the loop in a ChdC homolog.

In situ serial crystallography facilitates 96-well plate structural analysis at low symmetry
IUCrJThe advent of serial crystallography has rejuvenated and popularized room-temperature X-ray crystal structure determination. Structures determined at physiological temperature reveal protein flexibility and dynamics. In addition, challenging samples (e.g.

When biology meets materials science – Interdisciplinary applications of electron microscopy
Journal of Microscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Research at the interface between biology and materials science creates challenges for electron microscopists. Everything from the sample preparation to the choice of imaging and analytical techniques and the interpretation of the resulting data refuses to sit comfortably within the domain of one discipline or the other.

Characterizing gas flow from aerosol particle injectors
, 2017 A novel methodology for measuring gas flow from small orifices or nozzles into vacuum is presented. It utilizes a high-intensity femtosecond laser pulse to create a plasma within the gas plume produced by the nozzle, which is imaged by a microscope ...
