The Role H-Bonding and Supramolecular Structures in Homogeneous and Enzymatic Catalysis.

The article analyzes the role of hydrogen bonds and supramolecular structures in enzyme catalysis and model systems. Hydrogen bonds play a crucial role in many enzymatic reactions. However, scientists have only recently attempted to harness the power of hydrogen bonds in homogeneous catalytic systems.

Art and Agency in the Era of De-Structuration: Exploring a New Field.

Human agency, implying, from sociology's perspective, proactive or even transformative individual behaviour upon the social world (or "social structures" as sociologists call them), remains one of the central concepts and problems for both social science and practice. Current stage of societal evolution, de-structuration, makes individual agency especially important for both individual and collective well-being. In this context, the contribution of contemporary art (2018-2022) to agency issues remains little known in the academic world.

[The Effect of NT-1505 on a Membrane Structure of Endoplasmic Reticulum in vivo].

The effect of neuroprotector NT-1505 on endoplasmic reticulum membranes was studied. It was shown that the dynamics of changes in lipid and near-protein areas microviscosity of endoplasmic reticulum membranes at drug administration is of an antibate nature. This points to the absence of pathological disturbances in the membrane structure.

[Studying the effect of Dimebon and NT-1505 on microviscosity of mice brain synaptosomal membranes in vivo by EPR spin labeling method].

In this work membrane fluidity alterations in synaptosomes, isolated from mice brain tissue, at chronic administration of neuroprotectors Dimebon and NT-1505 in vivo were studied. Membrane microviscosity was measured by electron paramagnetic resonance spin labeling of 2,2,6,6-tetramet-hyl-4-capryloyl-oxylpiperidine-l-oxyl (lipid probe) and 5,6-benzo-2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-gamma-carboline-3-oxyl (near protein probe). It was shown that the neuroprotectors Dimebon and NT-1505 affect a membrane structure.

[Effects of low doses of essential oil on the antioxidant state of the erythrocytes, liver, and the brains of mice].

We studied the effects of essential oil from oregano and clove and a mixture of lemon essential oil and a ginger extract on the antioxidant state of organs in intact and three experimental groups of Bulb mice. We found that the essential oil was an efficient in vivo bioantioxidant when mice were treated with it for 6 months even at very low doses, such as 300 ng/day. All essential oil studied inhibited lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the membranes of erythrocytes that resulted in increased membrane resistance to spontaneous hemolysis, decreased membrane microviscosity, maintenance of their structural integrity, and functional activity.
