Aquifer microbial communities differentially display metabolisms capable of secondary effects on uranium speciation across a former metal processing site

The paper examines microbial communities in a uranium-contaminated aquifer, identifying metabolic capabilities that influence uranium speciation and remediation potential.

Identification of perrhenate-binding peptides by phage display

The paper identifies peptides that bind perrhenate using phage display and shows they can remove perrhenate from solutions.

Identification of uranyl-binding proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana cells exposed to uranium: Insights from a metalloproteomic analysis and characterization of Glycine-Rich RNA-binding Protein 7 (GRP7)

This study identifies 57 uranyl-binding proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana cells, with GRP7 showing specific U(VI) binding and interference with RNA binding, suggesting a role in uranium toxicity.

Constraints on Lanthanide Separation by Selective Biosorption

The paper models how genetic changes in microorganisms can improve lanthanide separation through biosorption, showing potential for significant efficiency gains with single or combined genetic edits.

In silico simulations reveal molecular mechanism of uranyl ion toxicity towards DNA-binding domain of PARP-1 protein

The paper uses computational simulations to reveal how uranyl ion disrupts the DNA-binding activity of PARP-1 by altering its zinc finger domains.

Genomic Characterization of Rare Earth Binding by Shewanella oneidensis

This study identifies genes in Shewanella oneidensis that affect rare earth element biosorption, offering targets for genetic engineering to improve REE separation.
