Article Synopsis
- Crystalline riboflavin (vitamin B) enhances vision in low-light conditions for some animals by serving as a reflecting layer behind their retina.
- Researchers aimed to uncover the solid-state structure of synthetic riboflavin using various experimental and computational techniques, contrasting recent findings with their own interpretation of hydrogen-bonding arrangements.
- The study also highlights potential challenges in using density functional theory for structural analysis of hydrogen-bonded materials and provides values for riboflavin's refractive index, which are crucial for understanding its optical properties.
Structural analysis of beam-sensitive materials by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) represents a significant challenge, as high-resolution TEM (HRTEM) requires high electron doses that limit its applicability to stable inorganic materials. Beam-sensitive materials, e.g.

TERPY's hypotensive effect is increased in hypertensive rats (SHR or 2 kidney-1clip) compared with normotensive rats. We hypothesized that sexual differences could interfere in the hypotensive effects of nitric oxide (NO) donors in SHR.
