Galactooligosaccharides (GOS), recognised prebiotic, can be industrially produced from lactose and commercial β-galactosidase (β-gal) from Kluyveromyces lactis. Residual lactose and glucose limit GOS applications. To handle this problem, a multienzymatic system, with β-gal and glucose oxidase (Gox), was proposed to reduce glucose content in reaction media through its oxidation to gluconic acid (GA). Besides, ultrasound (US) probe effect over the multienzymatic system to produce GOS and GA has been evaluated. A production around 40% of GOS was found in all treatments after the first hour of reaction. However, glucose consumption and GA production was significantly higher (P < 0.05) for sequential reaction assisted by US, obtaining the best production of GOS (49%) and GA (28%) after 2 h of reaction. The conformational and residual activity changes of enzymes under US conditions were also evaluated, Gox being positively affected whereas in β-gal hardly any change was found.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) play important roles in the development of infants, which are the third most abundant component in human milk. -Acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) is an important intermediate for the biosynthesis of other HMOs and antigens. Since currently appropriate synthetic methods for large-scale production of LacNAc are not available, it is urgently needed to develop an efficient and cost-effective synthetic pathway for LacNAc preparation.

Article Synopsis
- Carbon-one-unit (C1) feedstocks like formate and formamide are important for producing organic molecules, and they're cleaner alternatives to carbon monoxide from fossil fuels.
- New methods are emerging to transform carbon dioxide (CO), a greenhouse gas, into these valuable feedstocks, addressing the need for carbon recycling and sustainability.
- The formylmethanofuran dehydrogenase (FMD) enzyme, found in certain archaea, effectively captures and processes CO without high energy costs, playing a crucial role in the carbon cycle and potentially aiding in renewable energy solutions.

Nature often provides invaluable insights into technological innovation and the construction of nanomaterials. Inspired by the pitaya fruit's strategy of wrapping seeds within its pulp to enhance seed survival, a unique nanocomposite based on metal-organic framework (MOF)-encapsulated CuS nanoparticles (NPs) is developed. This design effectively addresses the challenge of short retention time afforded by CuS NPs for therapeutic and imaging purposes.

Accurate monitoring of base excision repair (BER) activity in cancer cells is critical for advancing the comprehension of DNA repair processes, gaining insights into cancer development, and guiding treatment strategies. However, current assay techniques for assessing BER activity in cancer cells face challenges due to the heterogeneous origins and diversity of BER enzymes. In this work, we present a hihly relible riple loop-intrlocked DNA coec (GATED) that enables precise assessment of BER activity in cancer cells through signal amplification mediated by multienzyme orthogonal activation.
