Structural and evolutionary dissection of NADPH‐binding motifs in NADPH‐preferring ene‐reductases
Abstract Ene‐reductases (ERs) catalyze nicotinamide‐dependent, stereoselective reductions of activated CC bonds. While their catalytic chemistry and applications are well‐explored, cosubstrate (NAD(P)H) binding remains poorly understood. Most ERs strongly prefer NADPH despite lacking canonical dinucleotide‐binding folds and instead employ flexible ...

Abstract Oligomeric assemblies of amyloidogenic proteins, such as Aβ, tau, α‐synuclein, amylin, transthyretin, and TDP‐43, are increasingly recognized as key drivers of cellular dysfunction across a range of neurodegenerative and systemic disorders.

Supramolecular Assemblies of Self‐Immolative Janus Dendrimers With Rapid Photodegradation Response
Self‐immolative Janus dendrimers assemble into spherical nanoparticles with solid cores. Upon irradiation, rapid end‐to‐end depolymerization triggers a unique degradation pathway from spheres to crescents within minutes, enabling on‐demand release of encapsulated cargo.

Structures of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins
A number of crystal, cryo‐EM and solution structures of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins have been solved, revealing details of how they interact with single‐stranded RNA and other proteins, as well as their conformational repertoire.Pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins constitute the largest family of RNA‐binding proteins in land plants, playing ...

Macromolecular Condensates as Tunable Scaffolds for Bio‐Inspired Silica Hybrids
Dense bio‐inspired silica formation is achieved by coupling polyamine liquid–liquid phase separation with pH‐dependent silica polymerization. Silicification within polyamine condensates, enables precise control over particle size, density, and morphology.

A Bayesian perspective on orientation estimation in cryo‐EM is presented, with the minimum mean‐square error estimator outperforming standard cross‐correlation‐based approaches, particularly under challenging low signal‐to‐noise conditions. We demonstrate that improved orientation estimation has a decisive impact on 3D reconstruction quality and ...

In vitro culture, cryopreservation, and field reintroduction of the endangered Mingan thistle
Abstract Current plant conservation efforts are hindered by, for example, poor seed germination, low viability, and insufficient propagation and preservation technologies. To address these problems, we devised an approach to plant conservation that integrates conservation, preservation, and restoration (CPR), which uses advanced in vitro techniques. We
