Functional variation among LPMOs revealed by the inhibitory effects of cyanide and buffer ions
FEBS Letters, Volume 599, Issue 9, Page 1317-1336, May 2025.This study addresses the inhibition of lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) by cyanide and explains how and why the magnitude of observed inhibitory effects depends on the way LPMO reactions are setup and on the type of LPMO. Enzymes known as lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) are mono‐copper polysaccharide‐degrading peroxygenases that ...

Multiple evolutionary pressures shape identical consonant avoidance in the world's languages [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Languages disfavor word forms containing sequences of similar or identical consonants, due to the biomechanical and cognitive difficulties posed by patterns of this sort. However, the specific evolutionary processes responsible for this phenomenon are not fully understood.
