Abstract: Two decades of structural and functional studies have revealed functions, structures and diversity of bacterial microcompartments. The protein-based organelles encapsulate diverse metabolic pathways in semipermeable, icosahedral or pseudo-icosahedral shells. One of the first discovered and… read more here.

Abstract: Enzymatic breakdown is an attractive cellulose utilisation method with a low environmental load. Its high temperature operation could promote saccharification and lower contamination risk. Here we report a hyper-thermostable cellobiohydrolase (CBH), named HmCel6A and its… read more here.

Abstract: Vitamin A (retinol) is an important nutrient for embryonic development and adult health. Early studies identified retinoic acid (RA) as a metabolite of retinol, however its importance was not apparent. Later, it was observed that… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/ijms24043429
Abstract: T-type calcium (CaV3) channels are involved in cardiac automaticity, development, and excitation–contraction coupling in normal cardiac myocytes. Their functional role becomes more pronounced in the process of pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Currently, no… read more here.
