Biased amino acid composition in warm-blooded animals [PDF]
Among eubacteria and archeabacteria, amino acid composition is correlated with habitat temperatures. In particular, species living at high temperatures have proteins enriched in the amino acids E-R-K and depleted in D-N-Q-T-S-H-A. Here, we show that this

Biodegradation of high-concentration isopropanol by a solvent-tolerant thermophile, Bacillus pallidus [PDF]
The aerobic biodegradation of high-concentration, to 24 g l –1 , 2-propanol (IPA) by a thermophilic isolate ST3, identified as Bacillus pallidus , was successfully carried out for the first time. This solvent-tolerant B.

The multidomain glycosidase MDG from the hyperthermophilic euryarchaeon Thermococcus sp. contains five protein domains: three catalytic domains (GH5, GH12‐1, and GH12‐2) and two cellulose‐binding modules (CBM2). In this study, the GH12‐1 and GH12‐2 domains were individually purified and biochemically characterized.

Thermophilic lignocellulose deconstruction [PDF]
Thermophilic microorganisms are attractive candidates for conversion of lignocellulose to biofuels because they produce robust, effective, carbohydrate-degrading enzymes and survive under harsh bioprocessing conditions that reflect their natural biotopes.

A Statistical Analysis of the Sequence and Structure of Thermophilic and Non-Thermophilic Proteins
Thermophilic proteins have various practical applications in theoretical research and in industry. In recent years, the demand for thermophilic proteins on an industrial scale has been increasing; therefore, the engineering of thermophilic proteins has become a hot direction in the field of protein engineering.

Allosteric regulation in phosphofructokinase from the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus.
An investigation into the kinetics and regulatory properties of the type-1 phosphofructokinase (PFK) from the extreme thermophile Thermus thermophilus (TtPFK) reveals an enzyme that is inhibited by PEP and activated by ADP by modifying the affinity ...

Regulatory Factors for tRNA Modifications in Extreme- Thermophilic Bacterium Thermus thermophilus
Thermus thermophilus is an extreme-thermophilic bacterium that can grow at a wide range of temperatures (50–83°C). To enable T. thermophilus to grow at high temperatures, several biomolecules including tRNA and tRNA modification enzymes show extreme heat-

Adaptive Enrichment of a Thermophilic Bacterial Isolate for Enhanced Enzymatic Activity
The mimicking of evolution on a laboratory timescale to enhance biocatalyst specificity, substrate utilization activity, and/or product formation, is an effective and well-established approach that does not involve genetic engineering or regulatory ...
