PETase Kubu enables near-complete enzymatic depolymerization of commercial PLA/PBAT blend mulch film

This paper demonstrates that Kubu, a PETase from Kutzneria buriramensis, efficiently degrades commercial PLA/PBAT mulch films, achieving 95% mass loss in 96 hours and releasing monomers detected by LC-MS/MS and HPLC.

RNA Sequencing by Direct Tagmentation of RNA/DNA Hybrids

This paper introduces SHERRY, a new RNA-seq method that avoids second strand synthesis by using Tn5 transposase to directly fragment and prime RNA/DNA hybrids, improving reproducibility and GC uniformity.

3.1A structure of yeast RNA polymerase II elongation complex stalled at a cyclobutane pyrimidine dimer lesion solved using streptavidin affinity grids

The paper solves a high-resolution structure of a stalled RNA polymerase II elongation complex using streptavidin affinity grids to overcome air-water interface interactions.
