Gender, interdisciplinary graduate training, and confidence working in teams

This paper describes an interdisciplinary graduate training program that improved teamwork confidence, particularly among women in STEM fields.

The biochemical impact of extracting an embedded adenylate kinase domain using circular permutation

This study examines how circular permutation of an adenylate kinase domain affects enzyme activity and stability in mesophilic and thermophilic AKs.

Microbial sensor variation across biogeochemical conditions in the terrestrial deep subsurface

The paper examines how microbial sensor systems vary across subsurface environments and finds correlations between sensor abundance and geochemical and ecological factors.

Prochlorococcus phage ferredoxin: structural characterization and electron transfer to cyanobacterial sulfite reductases

This study characterizes a phage ferredoxin from Prochlorococcus marinus, showing structural similarity to cyanobacterial ferredoxins and functional electron transfer to a host sulfite reductase.

Family permutation profiling identifies a dynamic protein domain as functionally tolerant to increased conformational entropy

This study uses family permutation profiling and deep mutational scanning to show that high energetic frustration in protein domains correlates with increased tolerance to conformational entropy.
