Comparative assessment of crystallographic and cryo‐EM models in the Protein Data Bank

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Raw data obtained by X‐ray crystallography or cryo‐EM result in experimental maps, ultimately fitted by atomic models. Although the physical principles are different, the final results can be viewed, compared, and evaluated in the same way. With cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM) on track to surpass X‐ray crystallography as the preferred method ...

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Fluoride Ionic Liquids in Salts of Ethylmethylimidazolium and Substituted Cyclopropenium Cation Families

Frontiers in Chemistry, 2018
A series of solvent-stabilized ionic liquid fluorides were prepared, [EMIM]F.nCH3COOH n = 1. 0, 1.6, 2.1, 2.4, and 3.2, either via exchange from the chloride salt using KF or AgF, or by neutralization of the hydroxide salt using HF.

Recent insights into the molecular mechanism of ubiquinol oxidation by cytochrome bc1

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The review reflects on the mechanism of the catalytic reaction in cytochrome bc1: the electron bifurcation that involves the separation of two electrons derived from the quinol oxidation to opposite sides of the enzyme across the membrane. This review summarizes the long‐standing effort to understand the mechanism of quinol oxidation catalyzed by ...

Entropy‐Driven Design of Low‐Melting‐Point Alloys via Compositionally Complex Strategy

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Conventional low‐melting‐point alloys (LMPAs) are limited by a narrow compositional space and inherent property trade‐offs. This review presents an entropy‐driven design strategy that overcomes these limitations, ushering in a new class of low‐melting‐point compositionally complex alloys (LMCCAs).

3D‐Printed Titanium Gyroid Scaffold Structure Integrated With Tough Hybrid Materials for Cartilage Replacement

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study proposes a potential device design for joint cartilage replacement. Silica‐polytetrahydrofuran (SiO2‐PolyTHF) hybrids with customizable mechanical properties were developed to mimic the characteristics of a natural meniscus. These were synthesized through a two‐pot sol–gel hybrid process.

The Role of Ultra‐Thin Passive Films and Organic Adsorbates on Aluminum Chips for a Friction‐Induced Solid‐State Recycling Process

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Despite benefits to storage stability and handleability of aluminum scrap, octadecyl phosphonic acid (ODPA) SAMs reduce the tensile strength of wires produced using friction‐induced recycling. Etching and methyl diphosphonic acid (MDPA) coatings, however, have little effect.

Digital Light Processing of Thermoplastic Poly(methyl methacrylate) Photoresin Combined With Solvent Vapor Smoothing

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A thermoplastic PMMA‐based photoresin enables high‐resolution DLP printing followed by solvent‐vapor smoothing. The treatment reduces staircase‐induced surface roughness from 2.33 µm to 129 nm and increases visible‐light transmittance from approximately 30% to 80%, providing a route toward transparent PMMA components for rapid prototyping and non ...

Influence of Particle Shape and Size in Copper‐Based Low‐Temperature Metallization Paste for Solar Cells

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Particle morphology controls the balance between printability and electrical connectivity in low‐temperature AgCu/Ag metallization pastes. Flake‐shaped AgCu particles form extended low‐resistance contacts, whereas spherical particles favor processability at high metal loading. Fine Ag particles further tune void filling and conductive‐network formation
