The objectives of this three-phased investigation were to (1) characterize existing recreational programming opportunities for tenants residing in assisted living (AL) and (2) gather perceptions on factors influencing activity program planning and delivery. Using an integrated knowledge translation framework during a one-year collaboration, we targeted 51 publicly funded AL sites from two health authorities in British Columbia. We conducted an activity calendar review, staff survey, and interactive symposia to identify factors that enabled or restricted recreational programming.

Article Synopsis
  • This study presents the X-ray crystal structures of the enzyme toluene/o-xylene monooxygenase hydroxylase (ToMOH) from Pseudomonas stutzeri OX1, both in its native form and when reconstituted with manganese(II), achieving resolutions of 1.85 and 2.20 A.
  • The findings highlight the impact of reducing the dimetallic active site, leading to shifts in carboxylate and coordination environment that are critical for dioxygen binding and activation.
  • Notably, the research identifies a significant rotamer shift in asparagine 202 that is conserved with methane monooxygenase hydroxylase (MMOH) and reveals previously unidentified hydrophobic pockets,
