Article Synopsis
- * A study found that dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), a lipid in human breast milk, has protective effects, reducing mortality in neonatal rats and improving intestinal barrier function.
- * DOPE also counters ferroptosis, a type of cell death linked to NEC, by lowering lipid peroxide levels and affecting key regulatory factors associated with ferroptosis.
Article Synopsis
- Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a durable polymer that doesn’t break down easily, leading to environmental issues due to its accumulation.
- A study identified two key enzymes (amidohydrolases) in Klebsiella sp. PCX that effectively degrade PAM, outperforming many smaller compounds.
- The researchers also determined the structures of these enzymes and pinpointed specific active sites that facilitate their function, which can aid in future PAM bioremediation efforts.
Polyacrylamide (PAM) is a high-molecular-weight polymer with extensive applications. However, the inefficient natural degradation of PAM results in environmental accumulation of the polymer. Biodegradation is an environmentally friendly approach in the field of PAM treatment.
