Bioinformatics and Computationally Supported Redesign of Aspartase for β-Alanine Synthesis by Acrylic Acid Hydroamination.

Aspartate ammonia lyases catalyze the reversible amination of fumarate to l-aspartate. Recent studies demonstrate that the thermostable enzyme from sp. YM55-1 (AspB) can be engineered for the enantioselective production of substituted β-amino acids.

Spur-winged lapwings show spatial behavioural types with different mobility and exploration between urban and rural individuals.

Understanding how wildlife responds to the spread of human-dominated habitats is a major challenge in ecology. It is still poorly understood how urban areas affect wildlife space-use patterns and consistent intra-specific behavioural differences (i.e.

[(Surviving) life with cancer: the importance of sport and physical activity].

As the survival prognosis of cancer patients continues to improve, the improvement in quality of life during and after cancer treatment is becoming increasingly important 1. Exercise therapy has a positive effect on so-called "patient-reported outcomes" 2. The combination of endurance training and individualized strength training plays a particularly important role here.

Computational Investigation of the High-Temperature Chemistry of Small Hydroxy Ethers: Methoxymethanol, Ethoxymethanol, and 2-Methoxyethanol.

In the search for alternative energy carriers that can replace conventional fossil fuels, sustainably produced oxygenated hydrocarbons represent a promising class of potential candidates. An illustrative member of this class of alternative biofuels are oxymethylene ethers (OMEs). This study makes a contribution to this objective by investigating hydroxy ethers, specifically methoxymethanol, ethoxymethanol, and 2-methoxyethanol.
