Unveiling the molecular basis of selective fluorination of SAM-dependent fluorinases S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent fluorinases have emerged as environmentally friendly enzymatic alternatives for organofluorine chemical synthesis. However, their use remains limited by their rarity; only 16 fluorinases have been found in nature so far. Here we report two new fluorinases, FLASbac from Streptosporangiales bacterium and a modified FLAAdig_Nter from Actinoplanes digitatis.

By Nalini Khurana and Ravi Verma New Delhi — Most initiatives around Women's Economic Empowerment (WEE) are largely myopic in their approach. Failure to recognise the role of men and masculinities in this context can pose a significant barrier to both women and men's economic well-being. Everyone is on board--international agencies, governments, multinational corporations, foundations, nonprofits, and so on.
