The isotopic signature of U(V) during bacterial reduction

Marinella Mazzanti, Rizlan Bernier-Latmani, Margaux Camille Andréa Molinas, Radmila Faizova, Ashley Richards Brown

The two-step electron transfer during bacterial reduction of UVI to UIV is typically accompanied by mass-independent fractionation of the 238U and 235U isotopes, whereby the heavy isotope accumulates in the reduced product. However, the role of the UV inte ...

Implementation of a flavin biosynthesis operon improves extracellular electron transfer in bioengineered Escherichia coli

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian, Melania Reggente, Mohammed Mouhib

Bioelectrochemical systems (BES) are promising for energy, sensing, environmental, and synthesis applications. Escherichia coli were previously bioengineered for application in BES by introduction of extracellular electron transfer (EET) pathways. Inspired ...

Structural basis of bile salt extrusion and small-molecule inhibition in human BSEP

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Dongchun Ni

BSEP (ABCB11) is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that is expressed in hepatocytes and extrudes bile salts into the canaliculi of the liver. BSEP dysfunction, caused by mutations or induced by drugs, is frequently associated with severe cholestatic live ...

Ultrafast X-ray Spectroscopy of Haem Proteins

Majed Chergui, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira

In this article we revisit our recent picosecond and femtosecond X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and X-ray emission spectroscopy (XES) experiments, probing the ultrafast electronic and geometric evolution of photoexcited haem proteins, namely ferrous N ...

Spin cascade and doming in ferric hemes: Femtosecond X-ray absorption and X-ray emission studies

Majed Chergui, Oliviero Cannelli, Christopher Alexander Arrell, Wojciech Gawelda, Giulia Fulvia Mancini, Frederico Alves Lima, Camila Bacellar Cases Da Silveira, Dominik Kinschel, Rebecca Ann Ingle, Jérémy Raymond Jean Maurice Rouxel, Samuel Menzi

The structure-function relationship is at the heart of biology, and major protein deformations are correlated to specific functions. For ferrous heme proteins, doming is associated with the respiratory function in hemoglobin and myoglobins. Cytochrome c (C ...

Effect of Single-Point Mutations on Nitric Oxide Rebinding and the Thermodynamic Stability of Myoglobin

Polydefkis Diamantis

The effect of single amino acid mutations on the rebinding dynamics of nitrogen monoxide (NO) to myoglobin is investigated using reactive molecular dynamics simulations. In particular, mutations of residues surrounding the heme-active site (Leu29, His64, V ...

Ultrafast Broadband Fluorescence Up-conversion Study of the Electronic Relaxation of Metalloporphyrins

Majed Chergui, Andrea Cannizzo, Olivier Christian Bräm

We present a systematic study of the ultrafast fluorescence with broadband detection and similar to 110 fs resolution of 5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphin (TPP) and 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-oc-taethylporphin (OEP), with open 3d-shell metals. We also revisit the cas ...

Non-covalent albumin-binding ligands for extending the circulating half-life of small biotherapeutics

Alessandro Angelini, Alessandro Zorzi, Sara Linciano

Peptides and small protein scaffolds are gaining increasing interest as therapeutics. Similarly to full-length antibodies, they can bind a target with a high binding affinity and specificity while remaining small enough to diffuse into tissues. However, de ...

More Medicines for Tuberculosis: Fuelling Drug Discovery against Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Shi-Yan Caroline Foo

Tuberculosis (TB), whose etiological agent is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis), has plagued humanity since antiquity. Even with chemotherapy available today, TB is the leading cause of death due to an infectious disease. Modern day factors, suc ...

Non-invasive continuous monitoring of pro-oxidant effects of engineered nanoparticles on aquatic microorganisms

Olivier Martin, Paul Bowen, Christian Santschi, Volodymyr Koman, Nadia Rachel Von Moos

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are key drivers for the development of highly sophisticated new technologies. As all new attainments, the rapidly increasing used of ENMs raise concerns about their safety for the environment and humans. There is growing evi ...
