This study determines the crystal structure of pyruvic oxime dioxygenase (POD) from Alcaligenes faecalis, revealing its catalytic mechanism and structural features involved in heterotrophic nitrification.

The paper introduces a multi-stage clustering strategy for serial crystallography data to improve dataset merging accuracy by first clustering based on unit cell parameters and then on reflection intensities.

This paper optimizes mask diameter and box size for 200 keV cryo-EM to improve resolution for proteins under 200 kDa.

The paper determines the sub-3 Å resolution cryo-EM structures of Achromobacter cycloclastes NiR at two pH values, identifies structural artifacts, and suggests local changes around the Cu site.

The paper identifies suppressor mutations that counteract the loss of the Kinesin-5 motor Cut7 in S. pombe by balancing microtubule dynamics and MAPs.
