Microbial lysates, rich in protein and essential nutrients, demonstrate remarkable capabilities in forming gels and stable foams when heated and whisked, similar to liquid eggs. These characteristics make them an excellent alternative to animal-derived liquid eggs, contributing to sustainable food production and consumption while maintaining high nutritional value. Their versatility positions microbial lysates as promising ingredients in culinary applications, offering a sustainable and nutritious substitute.

Autophagosomes are formed by the enlargement and sealing of phagophores. This is accompanied by the recruitment and release of autophagy-related (Atg) proteins that function therein. Presently, the relationship among factors that act after the initial emergence of the phagophore is unclear.

α-Amylases are the workhorse enzymes of starch degradation. They are central to human health, including as targets for anti-diabetic compounds, but are also the key enzymes in the industrial processing of starch for biofuels, corn syrups, brewing and detergents. Dissection of the activity, specificity and stability of α-amylases is crucial to understanding their biology and allowing their exploitation.

Freshwater systems are critical yet often underestimated components of global carbon cycling, functioning both as carbon sinks and sources. Cyanobacteria play a key role in this cycle by capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. The captured carbon is either released back into the atmosphere or sequestered in sediments following organismal decay.

Force-induced changes in protein structure and function mediate cellular responses to mechanical stresses. Existing methods to study protein conformation under mechanical force are incompatible with biochemical and structural analysis. Taking advantage of DNA nanotechnology, including the well-defined geometry of DNA origami and programmable mechanics of DNA hairpins, we built a nanodevice to apply controlled forces to proteins.
