Broad spectrum antibiotic-degrading metallo-β-lactamases are phylogenetically diverse and widespread in the environment.

The paper identifies a broad phylogenetic diversity of B3 MBLs in environmental microbes and shows that a variant (B3-RQK) is sensitive to clavulanic acid due to a lysine residue in its active site.

Structural elements that modulate the substrate specificity of plant purple acid phosphatases: avenues for improved phosphorus acquisition in crops

The paper identifies structural elements in plant purple acid phosphatases that influence substrate specificity, offering insights for improving phosphorus acquisition in crops.
