Reaction kinetics and isotherms of commercial activated carbon in variable pressure adsorption of high compound VOCs.

This study investigated the feasibility of using/reusing commercial activated carbon (CAC) for the capture of high molecular weight and high-boiling point volatile organic compounds (HBPVOCs). The CAC was first characterized using proximate analysis, heat value analysis, iodine value analysis, element analysis, inductively coupled plasma spectrometry, and specific surface area analysis. We then assessed the adsorption/desorption performance of a CAC-based PSA system for the removal of Butyl Cellosolve (BCS), a HBPVOC commonly used in paints, coatings, cleaners, and industrial processes.

Two glycosyl transferase 2 genes from the gram-positive bacterium Clostridium ventriculi encode (1,3;1,4)-β-D-glucan synthases.

The exopolysaccharides of the Gram-positive bacterium Romboutsia ilealis have recently been shown to include (1,3;1,4)-β-D-glucans. In the present study, we examined another Clostridia bacterium Clostridium ventriculi that has long been considered to contain abundant amounts of cellulose in its exopolysaccharides. We treated alcohol insoluble residues of C.

Dual protection by Bcp1 and Rkm1 ensures incorporation of uL14 into pre-60S ribosomal subunits.

Eukaryotic ribosomal proteins contain extended regions essential for translation coordination. Dedicated chaperones stabilize the associated ribosomal proteins. We identified Bcp1 as the chaperone of uL14 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Engineered droplet-forming peptide as photocontrollable phase modulator for fused in sarcoma protein.

The assembly and disassembly of biomolecular condensates are crucial for the subcellular compartmentalization of biomolecules in the control of cellular reactions. Recently, a correlation has been discovered between the phase transition of condensates and their maturation (aggregation) process in diseases. Therefore, modulating the phase of condensates to unravel the roles of condensation has become a matter of interest.
