Laccase is an oxidase of great industrial interest due to its ability to catalyze oxidation processes of phenols and persistent organic pollutants. However, it is susceptible to denaturation at high temperatures, sensitive to pH, and unstable in the presence of high concentrations of solvents, which is a issue for industrial use. To solve this problem, this work develops the synthesis in an aqueous medium of a new Mn metalloenzyme with laccase oxidase mimetic catalytic activity.

However, an assessment of ovarian reserve at longer-follow up, and a comprehensive evaluation of the potentially implicated factors has not been reported.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Article Synopsis
- The EUROMAC registry was created to collect data on rare muscle glycogenosis, including GSD5, to aid research and improve understanding of these conditions across Europe and the US.
- A study involving 282 participants revealed that most of them are socially active, with many finding dietary changes helpful; however, they experience significant fatigue and physical limitations.
- Findings suggest that while disabled in some ways, participants maintain a good level of social engagement and that specific diets and regular exercise could help manage symptoms.*

The aim of this study was to assess the postoperative outcomes and QoL after surgery for IE patients compared to patients undergoing cardiac surgery for non-IE indications. Adult patients with definite acute left-sided IE were matched 1:1 to patients who underwent cardiac surgery for non-endocarditic purposes from 2014 to 2019.
