This paper identifies the catabolic pathway for threo-DGPD in SYK-6, showing it is converted to erythro-DGPD via oxidation and reduction by multiple dehydrogenases, enabling complete catabolism of all four β-1-type lignin-derived isomers.

This study develops and evaluates machine learning models to predict enzyme optimum pH, finding that language model embeddings significantly improve prediction accuracy, leading to the release of the EpHod model.

The paper shows that the gene cbsA acts as a switch for vascular vs. non-vascular pathogenesis in bacteria, with its presence and absence linked to lifestyle evolution.

This paper elucidates the H2O2-mediated reaction mechanism of chitinolytic LPMOs using experimental and computational approaches, revealing key kinetic and structural insights.

This study creates GH5 cellulase hybrids from mesophilic and thermophilic parents to identify elements enhancing thermostability, finding improved thermal properties in some hybrids.
