Article Synopsis
  • Metabolism is influenced by energy availability and environmental factors, and understanding how cells adapt their energy processes can reveal important molecular mechanisms.* -
  • Mitochondrial respiration is crucial for ATP production, and a novel method is introduced to measure it directly in intact yeast cells, providing a better representation compared to isolated mitochondria.* -
  • The method involves preparing yeast under specific conditions, using an oximeter to measure oxygen consumption, and applying various inhibitors to distinguish between ATP-linked and maximal respiratory activity in the cells.*

Binding gene-wide single-stranded nucleic acids to surface-immobilized complementary probes is an important but challenging process for biophysical studies and diagnostic applications. The challenge comes from the conformational dynamics of the long chain that affects its accessibility and weakens its hybridization to the probes. We investigated the binding of bacteriophage genome M13mp18 on several different 20-mer probes immobilized on the surface of a multi-spot, label-free biosensor, and observed that only a few of them display strong binding capability with dissociation constant as low as 10 pM.

Background: Penicillin's long-standing role as the reference standard in syphilis treatment has led to global reliance. However, this dependence presents challenges, prompting the need for alternative strategies. We performed a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to evaluate the efficacy of these alternative treatments against nonneurological syphilis.
