We investigate the first direct proton abstraction reactions from reducing agents () hydrazine and diethyl hydroxylamine (DEHA), toward dioxygen (O) in the aqueous phase, spanning ambient to high-temperature conditions. Quantum chemistry methods and molecular dynamics simulations are employed in this study. Quantum chemistry methods are used to analyze the quasi-equilibrium between a reactive conformation and a transition state in the [,O] cluster.

The aim of this work is to understand how the oligomer can prevent iron(ii) deposits, and to provide molecular interpretation. We show how, to this end, not only the complexant ability is necessary, but also the chain length compared to iron(ii) concentration.

- - The integrated HIV-1 DNA in infected cells is transcribed into full-length RNA (FL RNA), which encodes key components for virus assembly, linking the interaction of Gag proteins with this RNA to initiate virion formation.
- - Researchers have identified RPL7, a ribosomal protein, as a co-factor that interacts with the NC domain of Gag, enhancing its RNA chaperoning ability, which is crucial for the assembly process and independent of other interactions.
- - The findings suggest that RPL7, through its strong chaperone activity, aids Gag in the nucleic acid hybridization process, potentially playing a significant role in the early stages of HIV-1 assembly.
