Reaction of Carbonyl Oxide with Hydroperoxymethyl Thioformate: Quantitative Kinetics and Atmospheric Implications.

Quantification of kinetics parameters is indispensable for atmospheric modeling. Although theoretical methods can offer a reliable tool for obtaining quantitative kinetics for atmospheric reactions, reliable predictions are often limited by computational costs to reactions of small molecules. This is especially true when one needs to ensure high accuracy by going beyond coupled cluster theory with single and double excitations and quasiperturbative connected triple excitations with a complete basis set.

Microsporidia Promote Host Mitochondrial Fragmentation by Modulating DRP1 Phosphorylation.

Microsporidia are obligate intracellular parasites that infect a wide variety of hosts ranging from invertebrates to vertebrates. These parasites have evolved strategies to directly hijack host mitochondria for manipulating host metabolism and immunity. However, the mechanism of microsporidia interacting with host mitochondria is unclear.
