Introduction Recombinant protein expression has become a cornerstone of the biotechnology industry. The ability to produce valuable therapeutic proteins and industrial enzymes in host organisms has opened up new possibilities in medicine, agriculture, food processing, and beyond. A range of host organisms can be used for heterologous protein production, but the bacterium Escherichia coli has historically been the premier expression system. However, E. coli has limitations that have motivated the exploration of alternative hosts. One such alternative garnering increasing interest is the methylotrophic yeast Pichia pastoris. With unique genetics, physiology, and metabolism compared to E. coli, P. pastoris is a…

Power conversion plays a pivotal role in the operation of electric grids. It provides the ability to convert electric power from one form to another for efficient transmission, distribution, and utilization. As energy demand rises globally, power conversion enables grid flexibility, stability, and reliability. Technologies like HVDC transmission, battery storage, and renewable integration depend heavily on advanced power converters. STATCOM and SVC are two key power conversion technologies focused on voltage regulation. Both provide dynamic reactive power compensation to enhance system stability. However, they utilize different operating principles and converter designs. STATCOM is based on a voltage-sourced converter using forced-commutated…
