Aging Skin: A Dermatitis To Which All Flesh Is Heir?

The human body is composed mostly of water fortified by a variety of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, all organized into an elegant structurally complex and functionally efficient machine in which our consciousness resides. This heterogeneous assemblage of essential ingredients is enclosed in a container known as the integument, or simply, the skin. The container is as important as its contents; when itself devoid of structural and functional integrity, it will both leak as well as become infused with potentially harmful external agents.

The objective of the max-cut problem is to cut any graph in such a way that the total weight of the edges that are cut off is maximum in both subsets of vertices that are divided due to the cut of the edges. Although it is an elementary graph partitioning problem, it is one of the most challenging combinatorial optimization-based problems, and tons of application areas make this problem highly admissible. Due to its admissibility, the problem is solved using the Harris Hawk Optimization algorithm (HHO).

Epistatic hotspots organize antibody fitness landscape and boost evolvability.

The course of evolution is strongly shaped by interaction between mutations. Such epistasis can yield rugged sequence-function maps and constrain the availability of adaptive paths. While theoretical intuition is often built on global statistics of large, homogeneous model landscapes, mutagenesis measurements necessarily probe a limited neighborhood of a reference genotype.

Enhancement of the Thermostability of Esterase by Combinatorial Rational Design.

Molecules

December 2024

School of Chemical and Environmental Engineering, Shanghai Institute of Technology, Shanghai 201418, China.

The esterase EstSIT01 from can catalyze the asymmetric hydrolysis of -dimethyl ester to produce the crucial chiral intermediate (4, 5)-hemimethyl ester for -biotin synthesis. Despite its high yields and stereoselectivity, the low thermostability of EstSIT01 limits its practical application. Herein, two kinds of rational strategies were combined to enhance the thermostability of EstSIT01.
