Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Hours of Work: A Demand Perspective [PDF]
In Australia, and in other countries, we observe at any one time a wide distribution of hours worked per week. We develop a cost-minimising model to explain employer choices over the number of employees and their hours of work.

Electron work function–a promising guiding parameter for material design
Scientific Reports, 2016 Using nickel added X70 steel as a sample material, we demonstrate that electron work function (EWF), which largely reflects the electron behavior of materials, could be used as a guide parameter for material modification or design.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Thickness dependent of phase shift between surface energy and work function in Pb ultrathin films
New Journal of Physics, 2015 Through first-principles calculations within density functional theory, the phase shift between surface energy and work function in FCC (111) and HCP (0001) Pb and Pb _1–x Bi _x alloy films has been investigated. Deviating from the previously described $\

Effect of the back contact work function on the performance of Al0.1Ga0.9N/CdS/Si solar cell [PDF]
مجلة جامعة الانبار للعلوم الصرفةIn the first phase of this study, a layer of cadmium sulphide (CdS) and a layer of aluminium gallium nitride (Al0.1GaN0.9) was deposited on a silicon substrate (10% AlN with 70% GaN) was deposited on a silicon substrate by using a pulse laser deposition ...

The archaellum is the simplest known molecular propeller. An analogue of bacterial flagella, archaella are long helical tails found in Archaea that are rotated by cell-envelope-embedded rotary motors to exert thrust for cell motility.

, 2018 Firefighting is regarded as possibly carcinogenic, although there are few mechanistic studies on genotoxicity in humans. We investigated exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), lung function, systemic inflammation and genotoxicity in ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.
