This paper discovers and structurally analyzes a novel -1,2-glucosidase from Arthrobacter humicola A8F5, revealing its unique mechanism and structural features for cleaving rare -1,2-glucosidic bonds.

This study identifies a molecular mechanism in CI4Tase that enforces strict DP4 specificity for cycloisomaltotetraose synthesis through structural and mutational analysis.

This study reprograms protein interfaces between adenylation and carrier protein domains in NRPSs to enable non-cognate pairings and enhance natural product production.

This study determines the crystal structures of Arabidopsis thaliana GGP1, revealing its dual role in sulfur metabolism and its potential involvement in oxidative stress regulation.
