Solid‐Phase Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Peptides ADP‐Ribosylated at Histidine
We report the preparation of ribofuranosylated Fmoc‐histidine building blocks via a Mukaiyama‐type glycosylation. These building blocks were used in solid‐phase peptide synthesis, followed by on‐resin pyrophosphate construction and deprotection to access peptides containing N(τ)‐ and N(π)‐ADP‐ribosylated histidine.

For certain applications of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR), it may be necessary to consider the accuracy of replication. The breakthrough that made PCR user friendly was the commercialization of Thermus aquaticus (Taq) DNA polymerase, an enzyme that

The taxonomist - an endangered race : a practical proposal for its survival [PDF]
Background: Taxonomy or biological systematics is the basic scientific discipline of biology, postulating hypotheses of identity and relationships, on which all other natural sciences dealing with organisms relies.

From Metagenomics to Pure Culture: Isolation and Characterization of the Moderately Halophilic Bacterium Spiribacter salinus gen. nov., sp. nov. [PDF]
Recent metagenomic studies on saltern ponds with intermediate salinities have determined that their microbial communities are dominated by both Euryarchaeota and halophilic bacteria, with a gammaproteobacterium closely related to the genera ...

Extremophilic Microorganisms as a Source of Emerging Enzymes for the Food Industry: A Review
Enzymes such as amylases, lipases, proteases, xylanases, laccases, pullulanase, chitinases, pectinases, esterases, isomerases, and dehydrogenases could be derived from extremophilic organisms like thermophiles, psychrophiles, acidophiles, alkaliphiles, and halophiles. These enzymes or extremozymes are applicable in the production of safe foods (such as

Contribution of vesicle-protected extracellular DNA to horizontal gene transfer in Thermus spp. [PDF]
Highly efficient apparatus for natural competence and conjugation have been shown as the major contributors to horizontal gene transfer (HGT) in Thermus thermophilus.

Entwicklung einer DNA‐Polymerase aus Thermus aquaticus, die methylierte von unmethylierter DNA durch einen erhöhten Fehleinbau gegenüber 5‐Methylcytosin (5 mC) während der DNA‐Synthese unterscheidet. Durch die Erzeugung von 5 mC‐abhängigen Mutationssignaturen im PCR‐Produkt ist das Enzym in der Lage, methylierte Stellen zu erkennen und ermöglicht den ...

DNA methyltransferases (MTases) catalyze the transfer of the activated methyl group of the cofactor S-adenosyl-l-methionine (AdoMet or SAM) to the exocyclic amino groups of adenine or cytosine or the C5 ring atom of cytosine within specific DNA sequences.

A DNA Polymerase Variant Senses the Epigenetic Marker 5‐Methylcytosine by Increased Misincorporation
Engineering of a Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase that distinguishes methylated from unmethylated DNA by increased misincorporation opposite 5‐methylcytosine (5 mC) during DNA synthesis. By generating 5 mC‐dependent mutation signatures in the PCR product, the enzyme is able to sense methylated sites and allows direct detection by reading elevated error
