Structure and functions of a metallo-beta-lactamase- like hypothetical protein bleg1_2437 from alkali-tolerant soil bacterium Bacillus lehensis G1 by Tan, Soo Huei

“…Furthermore, with the addition of 100 μM of zinc sulfate, the kcat/Km values of Bleg1_2437 towards all tested β-lactam antibiotics were increased approximately 2 to 5 fold. The findings of this study reveal on the presence of the clinically important and dangerous antibiotics-degrading enzyme, MBL, within the pool of HPs which are generally regarded as proteins of unknown functions and of no particular importance.…”

Quantum scale biomimicry of low dimensional growth : an unusual complex amorphous precursor route to TiO2 band confinement by shape adaptive biopolymer-like flexibility for energy applications by Choi, Dahyun, Sonkaria, Sanjiv, Fox, Stephen John, Poudel, Shivraj, Kim, Sung-yong, Kang, Suhee, Kim, Seheon, Verma, Chandra, Ahn, Sung Hoon, Lee, Caroline Sunyong, Khare, Varsha

“…Here, we provide evidence for synthetic biomimicry akin to bio-polymerization mechanisms to steer disorder-to-order transitions via solvent plasticization-like behaviour. This challenges the rationale of quantum driven confinement processes by conventional processes. …”

Validating the ratio of insulin like growth factor binding protein 4 to sex hormone binding globulin as a prognostic predictor of preterm birth in Viet Nam: a case-cohort study by Hirst, JE, Boniface, JJ, Le, DP, Polpitiya, AD, Fox, AC, Vu, TTK, Dang, TT, Fleischer, TC, Bui, NTH, Hickok, DE, Kearney, PE, Thwaites, G, Kennedy, SH, Kestelyn, E, Le, TQ

“…Maternal serum was collected from 19+0-22+6 weeks’ gestation and participants followed to neonatal discharge. Relative insulin-like growth factor binding protein 4 (IGFBP4) and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) abundances were measured by mass spectrometry and their ratio compared between PTB cases and term controls. …”
