Sustainable valorization of green coconut mesocarp for extraction of peroxidase enzyme

Green coconut mesocarp is a substantial agro‐industrial waste, and its valorization can be achieved by extracting the industrially valuable enzyme peroxidase (POD). Proximate analysis of the mesocarp revealed a protein content of approximately 2.5% (wet basis). The extraction was conducted using 0.5 M sodium phosphat...

Crystal structures of the N-terminal and C-terminal domains of the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein

Crystal structures provided a framework for further investigation of NTD–RNA recognition, the possible role of the CTD positively charged groove in nucleic acid interactions and N-protein assembly and suggest that RNA binding may be accommodated by local side-chain rearrangements within a pre-existing positively charge...

Extreme conservation and rare evolutionary deviations in mammalian NOTCH3 inform the interpretation of CADASIL pathogenicity

These findings provide a comparative molecular-pathology framework for interpreting NOTCH3 variation beyond cysteine number alone and support a context-dependent model in which residue position, disulfide architecture, surrounding sequence, domain organization, aggregation propensity, and proteolytic regulation jointly...

Single-cell study of human ovarian response to phthalate exposure reveals glial cell susceptibility and disruption of adhesion and mitochondrial pathways.

The sensitivity of ovarian nervous system cells to MEHP offers new mechanistic insights into reported links between phthalates, altered ovarian sensitivity index, and polyendocrine metabolic ovarian syndrome, and the need for a holistic assessment of ovarian toxicity that considers all ovarian cell types, not only foll...

Over-expression, purification, and characterisation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis MPT64 from inclusion bodies.

Tuberculosis remains among the top ten deadliest infectious diseases worldwide, primarily due to delayed diagnosis, co-infection with HIV, and multidrug resistance. Targeting early secreted mycobacterial antigens, including MPT64, ESAT6, and CFP10, may be a viable strategy for detecting the onset of tuberculosis. Altho...

Reflectin Proteins Form Net Charge Density-Tuned Multiphase Condensates That May Facilitate Spatial Organization in Squid Skin Bragg Lamellae.

It is demonstrated with confocal microscopy that reflectins A1, A2, B and C individually undergo LLPS to form protein dense liquid condensates, while physiological mixtures of these proteins exhibit coordinated phase transitions to form multiphase condensates whose internal spatial organization is tuned by the proporti...

RSV prefusion F vaccine effectiveness in older adults with immunosuppression: a prespecified analysis of the DAN-RSV trial.

In adults aged 60 years or older, RSVpreF vaccination reduced hospitalisations for RSV-related respiratory tract disease with no statistical evidence of effect modification by immunosuppression status; however, the study was not powered to exclude subgroup differences.

De novo design of monoclonal and bispecific antibodies with OFAntibody

The results extend de novo antibody design from binary antigen-antibody complexes to programmable multi-component complexes, providing a foundation for designing single molecules that combine recognition of distinct targets and their associated biological functions.

A Shortcut to Structure in AlphaFold 3

AlphaFold 3 predicts protein structures with remarkable accuracy, yet how structural information emerges within the model remains poorly understood. Here, through causal interventions on internal representations and direct probing of every Pairformer block, we trace the formation of global protein geometry and identify...

Bioreactor cultures of brain endothelial cells produce extracellular vesicles with comparable characteristics as that of batch cultures

Our prior works have demonstrated the therapeutic potential extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from batch cultures of brain endothelial cells (BECs) owing to their ability to transfer mitochondria to injured recipient cells. However, conventional batch/flask cultures limit scalable and reproducible production of EVs....

Cryo-EM reveals the quaternary architecture of TenpIN type III toxin-antitoxin RNP complex common to pathogenic bacteria.

Type III toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems are anti-phage defense systems in bacteria that comprises a protein toxin and a cognate non-coding RNA antitoxin. Under normal conditions, the antitoxin binds and inhibits the toxin. Upon phage infection, antitoxin is neutralized, releasing the active toxin, which cleaves the bacte...
