Fossil fuel reserves are rapidly depleting, while global energy demands continue to rise, prompting researchers to seek sustainable alternatives. Among these, biofuels, particularly biodiesel, stand out as a biocompatible and friendly option. However, biodiesel production via transesterification generates large quantities of glycerol (GOL) as a by ...

Invasive plants optimize leaf nitrogen allocation in photosynthesis
Summary Invasive plants often outcompete co‐occurring native species by expressing acquisitive functional traits that promote high photosynthetic capacity. However, it remains unclear whether these traits are newly evolved in the introduced (‘away’) range or if invaders arrived preadapted with superior traits from their native (‘home’) range.

How Plants May Maintain Protein Homeostasis Under Rising Atmospheric CO2
ABSTRACT Vascular plants may employ several physiological mechanisms to stabilize their protein contents as atmospheric CO2 concentrations change over a day, year, decade, or century. One mechanism is that plants may rely more on soil ammonium as their nitrogen source when CO2 increases.

PHR1 mediates rapid high light responses and acclimation to high photosynthetic activity
SUMMARY Changing light intensity requires immediate metabolic adjustment which involves reprogramming of both plastidial and nuclear gene expression, but the signaling pathways behind such responses are not fully understood. Here we report that an increase in light intensity causes fluctuations of Pi levels in the chloroplasts of Arabidopsis thaliana ...

Complex Chemical Reaction Networks from Heuristics-Aided Quantum Chemistry [PDF]
While structures and reactivities of many small molecules can be computed efficiently and accurately using quantum chemical methods, heuristic approaches remain essential for modeling complex structures and large-scale chemical systems.

This study presents the highly efficient heterologous production of the human blood group glycosyltransferases GTA/R176A and GTB, along with their comprehensive biochemical and kinetic characterization. Tailored enzyme cascades, involving the bacterial fucosyltransferase FutC and GTA or GTB, generate milligram quantities of various blood group ABH ...

Natural and Synthetic Metabolic Architectures
Metabolism yields function through architecture, not through isolated parts. This Perspective article discusses how design can move from components to connectivity and then to architectural regimes that account for space, time, and routing. The framework links understanding to engineering and helps explain why microbial engineering meets challenges ...
