Protein Structuromics Reveals a Loop‐Controlled Half‐Open Active Pocket Conformation Throughout Fe(II)/α‐ketoglutarate‐Dependent Dioxygenase Catalytic Cycle

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 47, 24 August 2026.
This study reveals a conserved half‐open active pocket in Fe(II)/α‐ketoglutarate‐dependent dioxygenases through protein structuromics, distinguished by structural features comprising highly flexible loop elements. Enhanced sampling simulations‐guided mutagenesis experiments elucidated how this flexible loop regulates pocket open/closed conformations ...

Studia Linguistica, Volume 80, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Word‐final position is widely recognized as a structurally weak and restricted domain, yet languages differ strikingly in how they regulate segments and clusters at the right edge. While some systems categorically prohibit final consonants, others allow only a subset of segments, and still others impose process‐based adjustments such as final ...
