Ni(II) binding affinity and specificity of solute binding proteins: the importance of the double His motif and variable loop revealed by structural and mutational studies

This paper investigates Ni(II) binding in solute binding proteins, showing the double His motif and variable loop are critical for affinity and specificity, with implications for biocatalytic applications.

Thermophilic carboxylesterases from hydrothermal vents of the volcanic island of Ischia active on synthetic and biobased polymers and mycotoxins

This study identifies three novel thermotolerant carboxylesterases from hydrothermal vents that hydrolyze polyesters and mycotoxins, with potential for biotechnological applications.

Structural and molecular rationale for the diversification of resistance mediated by the Antibiotic_NAT family

The paper analyzes Antibiotic_NAT family enzymes to understand resistance diversification, finding environmental variants confer broad-spectrum resistance and likely ancestral relationships to clinical genes.
