Biochemical studies on a versatile esterase that is most catalytically active with polyaromatic esters

Herein, we applied a community genomic approach using a naphthalene-enriched community (CN1) to isolate a versatile esterase (CN1E1) from the α/β-hydrolase family. The protein shares low-to-medium identity (≤ 57%) with known esterase/lipase-like proteins. The enzyme is most active at 25-30°C and pH 8.5; it retains approximately 55% of its activity at 4°C and less than 8% at ≥ 55°C, which indica...

Versatile Design and Ethical Architecture

Background: Following the spread of dissatisfaction with modern architecture, the machine attitude towards man, and the disregard for human values ​​and human existential dignity, the global movement in support of independence and participation was formed in response to demographic and social realities. Recognized in 1988 as universal design, the movement allowed more people of all levels of ab...
