Nitrile-converting enzymes are becoming commonplace in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and commodity chemicals. These versatile biocatalysts have potential applications in different fields including synthetic biocatalysis and... more
Escherichia coli contains multiple peptidoglycan-specific hydrolases, but their physiological purposes are poorly understood. Several mutants lacking combinations of hydrolases grow as chains of unseparated cells, indicating that these... more
BfpA, the structural repeating protein subunit A of the bundle-forming pilus and EspB, a type-III-secreted pore-forming protein of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC), both virulence factors central for EPEC pathogenesis, were... more
Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a promising target for modulating endocannabinoid and fatty acid ethanolamide signaling, which may have important therapeutic potential. We recently described a new class of O-arylcarbamate inhibitors... more
