Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) functions as an inhibitory neurotransmitter which blocks the impulses between nerve cells in the brain. Due to the increasing awareness about the health promoting benefits associated with GABA, it is also artificially synthesized and consumed as a nutritional supplement by people in some regions of the world. Though among the fresh vegetables, tomato fruits do contain a comparatively higher amount of GABA (0.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) offers a promising approach for chemical probe and drug discovery that uses small molecules or biologics to direct proteins to the cellular machinery for destruction. Among the >600 human E3 ligases, CRBN and VHL have served as workhorses for ubiquitin-proteasome system-dependent TPD. Identification of additional E3 ligases capable of supporting TPD would unlock the full potential of this mechanism for both research and pharmaceutical applications.

Adenosine Deaminases Acting on RNA (ADARs) convert adenosine to inosine in duplex RNA, and through the delivery of guide RNAs, can be directed to edit specific adenosine sites. As ADARs are endogenously expressed in humans, their editing capacities hold therapeutic potential and allow us to target disease-relevant sequences in RNA through the rationale design of guide RNAs. However, current design principles are not suitable for difficult-to-edit target sites, posing challenges to unlocking the full therapeutic potential of this approach.

ConspectusIn the search for efficient and selective electrocatalysts capable of converting greenhouse gases to value-added products, enzymes found in naturally existing bacteria provide the basis for most approaches toward electrocatalyst design. Ni,Fe-carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (Ni,Fe-CODH) is one such enzyme, with a nickel-iron-sulfur cluster named the C-cluster, where CO binds and is converted to CO at high rates near the thermodynamic potential. In this Account, we divide the enzyme's catalytic contributions into three categories based on location and function.

Genome graphs, including the recently released draft human pangenome graph, can represent the breadth of genetic diversity and thus transcend the limits of traditional linear reference genomes. However, there are no genome-graph-compatible tools for analyzing whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) data. To close this gap, we introduce methylGrapher, a tool tailored for accurate DNA methylation analysis by mapping WGBS data to a genome graph.
