DOI: 10.1371/journal.pbio.3001569
Abstract: The sequence space accessible to evolving proteins can be enhanced by cellular chaperones that assist biophysically defective clients in navigating complex folding landscapes. It is also possible, at least in theory, for proteostasis mechanisms that… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/molecules27103353
Abstract: The accumulation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) seriously harms the environment because of its high resistance to degradation. The recent discovery of the bacteria-secreted biodegradation enzyme, PETase, sheds light on PET recycling; however, the degradation efficiency… read more here.
