A Novel Nitrite Reductase from <i>Acinetobacter haemolyticus</i> for Efficient Degradation of Nitrite by Xiao-Yan Yin, Emmanuel Mintah Bonku, Jian-Feng Yuan, Zhong-Hua Yang

“…We constructed a heterologous expression system using <i>E. coli</i> BL21/pET28a-<i>Ah</i>Nir, which exhibited remarkable nitrite reductase enzyme activity of 29 U/mL in the culture broth, substantially higher than that reported for other strains. Structural analysis of <i>Ah</i>NiR revealed the presence of [Fe-S] clusters, with molecular docking studies identifying Tyr-282 and Ala-289 as key catalytic sites. …”

Time-dependent Acceleration and Escape of Charged Particles at Traveling Shocks in the Near-Sun Environment by Thomas M. Do, Federico Fraschetti, Jozsef Kota, Joe Giacalone, Christina M. S. Cohen, David J. McComas

“…We compare the “nose” structure at a few ∼100s keV protons first measured in situ by Parker Solar Probe in crossing the very fast 2022 September 5 shock at 0.07 au; we find that the nose is reasonably well explained by a lack of the highest energy particles not yet produced by the young shock by both our model and the no-escape version.…”
