The electron structure of the NixTiSe2 system has been studied by the electromotive force (EMF) method in Cu|Cu+|NixTiSe2 and Na|Na+|NixTiSe2 electrochemical cells. Two critical transitions have been found in this system at x = 0.25 and x = 0.

Natural amino acid polymorphisms in Tat may affect its functional properties and the course of HIV infection. The aim of this work is to analyze the marks of Tat consensus sequences in non-A6 HIV-1 variants characteristic of the Russian Federation, as well as study natural polymorphisms in Tat CRF63_02A6 and subtype B variants circulating in Russia.

Most studies rely on enzymatic dissociation of fresh samples or nuclei isolation from frozen samples. Dissociating whole intact cells from fresh-frozen samples, commonly collected by biobanks, remains a challenge.

This study is the first to report data concerning the purification and biochemical characteristics of the Tst DNA polymerase from . Both the wild type Tst(wt) DNA polymerase and its chimeric form containing the P36H substitution-which reduces the enzyme's affinity for the U-containing template and dUTP-and the DNA-binding domain Sso7d from were obtained and analyzed.
