We are delighted to announce the publication of our latest research article, “Structural Insights Reveal Long-SSRs May Affect 4Fe–4S Protein Flexibility and Function in Methanogenesis,” in the Journal of Basic Microbiology (Wiley). This collaborative study uncovers how long simple sequence repeats (SSRs) influence the structural dynamics of key 4Fe–4S cluster–containing proteins, potentially impacting methane production pathways in methanogenic microorganisms. By integrating comparative genomics and structural modeling, our team highlights previously overlooked genomic features that may play an important role in microbial energy metabolism and biogas efficiency. The full article is available here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/jobm.70111
. Congratulations to all co-authors for this significant contribution.
