Structural and biochemical analyses of new tetrameric transferases from psychrophilic and mesophilic bacteria shed light into enzyme activity at low temperatures.

The Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBPs) are transpeptidases that catalyze crosslinking in the bacterial cell wall and the molecular targets of the ß-lactam antibiotics

Iodine concentration in ice remained constant during the pre-ozone hole period (1800-1974) but has continuously declined since the onset of the ozone hole era (~1975), closely tracking the total ozone evolution over Antarctic

CBE-IQFR researcher work in an international collaborative project to watch in real time the diffusion of ligands into enzyme crystals using the state-of-the-art XFEL technology. The article has been published in IUCrJ.

Cold, Salinity and abiotic stresses cause crop productivity loss at worldwide scale. Many of the physiological changes motivated by the plant adaptation to these stresses unbalance lipid homeostasis at the plasma membrane
