Identification, characterization and classification of prokaryotic nucleoid‐associated proteins
Nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) structure DNA by either bending, wrapping, bridging, or forming protein filaments on the DNA. We review newly identified NAPs and provide a list of simple biochemical assays to study the DNA‐structuring properties of novel NAPs. Abstract Common throughout life is the need to compact and organize the genome.

Chromatin and gene regulation in archaea
Recent data from diverse archaea with different repertoires of nucleoid‐associated proteins show a common genome‐wide chromatin organisation where chromatin maintains access to gene promoters independently of transcription activity. Abstract The chromatinisation of DNA by nucleoid‐associated proteins (NAPs) in archaea ‘formats’ the genome structure in ...

Differential active site loop conformations mediate promiscuous activities in the lactonase SsoPox.
Enzymes are proficient catalysts that enable fast rates of Michaelis-complex formation, the chemical step and products release. These different steps may require different conformational states of the active site that have distinct binding properties ...

Analysis of the crystal structure of an active MCM hexamer
In a previous Research article (Froelich et al., 2014), we suggested an MCM helicase activation mechanism, but were limited in discussing the ATPase domain because it was absent from the crystal structure.
