[Employing Emotional Virtual Characters for Teaching in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry].

Employing Emotional Virtual Characters for Teaching in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Communication and interaction are central to teaching child and adolescent psychiatry, with practical exercises often needing more access to actual patients or actors. Virtual reality (VR) offers an innovative solution by enabling simulation-based learning. With the help of computer-generated, interactive characters, students can practice repeatedly and in a standardized way how to conduct a medical interview and acquire communication skills.

Epigenetic control of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis by m4C DNA methylation in a cyanobacterium.

Epigenetic DNA modifications are pivotal in eukaryotic gene expression, but their regulatory significance in bacteria is less understood. In Synechocystis 6803, the DNA methyltransferase M.Ssp6803II modifies the first cytosine in the GGCC motif, forming N4-methylcytosine (GGm4CC).

Deciphering the tight metabolite-level regulation of glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase (GlgC) for glycogen synthesis in cyanobacteria.

The enzyme glucose-1-phosphate adenylyltransferase (GlgC, EC:2.7.7.

Investigating the Substrate Oxidation Mechanism in Lytic Polysaccharide Monooxygenase: HO- versus O-Activation.

Lytic polysaccharide monooxygenases (LPMOs) form a copper-dependent family of enzymes classified under the auxiliary activity (AA) superfamily. The LPMOs are known for their boosting of polysaccharide degradation through oxidation of the glycosidic bonds that link the monosaccharide subunits. This oxidation has been proposed to be dependent on either O or HO as cosubstrate.
