Cover Story: In nNature, amino acids, carbohydrates, and some lipids are “chiral” compounds, since they exist as two identical molecules that use the space differently. TAs our hands, these chiral compounds (designated as L- and D-enantiomers) are mirror images. Focusing on amino acids, the L- and D-enantiomers play relevant and distinct roles in biochemical structures and metabolic processes. Here, we reviewed the knowledge about the enantioselective interaction between proteins and chiral amino acids. In particular, we elucidated the molecular basis which allows foring the discrimination between the opposite enantiomers in amino acid oxidases, dehydrogenases, and aminotransferases. Finally, the evolutive mechanisms leading to the observed enzymes’ specificity have been described. View this paper

In 2006, together with D. Butnariu, we showed that if all iterates of a nonexpansive self-mapping of a complete metric space converge, then all its inexact iterates with summable computational errors converge too. In a recent paper of ours, we have e...
