This study investigates the emergence of two key cofactor-binding protein folds by analyzing their metabolic roles, structural organization, and folding mechanisms.

This study investigates how peptides interact with mineral surfaces and lipid vesicles, showing acidic residues bind minerals and arginine enhances phosphate mobilization, while different amino acid alphabets affect vesicle stability.

The paper describes a method to synthesize and recover long-chain polyphosphates from microalgal biomass using enzymatic and chemical processes.

This study shows that proteins made from prebiotic and modern amino acids can form stable structures, challenging the idea that complex amino acids are necessary for protein folding.

The paper proposes using biological solutions like self-healing materials, biobatteries, and synthetic rubber-producing bacteria to enhance sustainability and reduce costs for Mars exploration.
