Two activation heat capacity regimes underlie temperature-dependent catalysis in homologous archaeal ADP-dependent kinases

The paper investigates temperature-dependent catalysis in three homologous archaeal ADP-dependent kinases, identifying two distinct activation heat capacity regimes in two enzymes and a single regime in the third.

From Transporter to Motor: Evolutionary and Structural Insights into the Emergence of Prestin's Area-Motor Activity in Mammals

This study investigates how prestin evolved from an anion transporter to a voltage-sensitive motor in mammals through structural and evolutionary analysis.

Glycogen phosphorylase from the methanogenic archaeon Methanococcus maripaludis: Unique regulatory properties of a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate independent phosphorylase

This study characterizes glycogen phosphorylase from Methanococcus maripaludis, showing it functions without the PLP cofactor and has unique regulatory properties.

Clade-wide fungal proteome analysis reveals structure-function conservation in divergent Dicer proteins

The paper analyzes fungal Dicer proteins across eight phyla, revealing structural and functional conservation despite divergence from canonical domain architectures.
