Impacts of coal smoke on infant mortality: Evidence from industrializing Japan

Using fixed‐effects models and a prefecture‐level panel dataset on actual coal consumption and infant mortality from 1899 to 1910, this study finds that higher coal consumption was positively associated with infant mortality.

Catalysis and allostery in bacterial ATP phosphoribosyltransferases
ATP phosphoribosyltransferase (ATPPRT) catalyses the first reaction of L‐histidine biosynthesis. L‐Histidine allosterically inhibits ATPPRT to regulate this energy‐intensive pathway in histidine‐synthesising organisms, such as bacteria, archaea and plants.
