Biophysical and biochemical evidence for the role of acetate kinases (AckAs) in an acetogenic pathway in pathogenic spirochetes.

Unraveling the metabolism of Treponema pallidum is a key component to understanding the pathogenesis of the human disease that it causes, syphilis. For decades, it was assumed that glucose was the sole carbon/energy source for this parasitic spirochete. But the lack of citric-acid-cycle enzymes suggested that alternative sources could be utilized, especially in microaerophilic host environments where glycolysis should not be robust.

Essential oil constituents of regional ethnomedicinal plants as potential inhibitors of SARS-CoV-2 M: an integrated molecular docking, molecular dynamics and QM/MM study.

The scientific community has achieved a remarkable milestone by creating efficacious vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The treatment alternatives are still restricted, though. The bioactive ingredients present in natural plants are known to exhibit diverse pharmacological effects against many diseases.

Probing the Hidden Photoisomerization of a Symmetric Phosphaalkene Switch.

In this study, we present the synthesis and analysis of a novel, air-stable, and solvent-resistant phosphaalkene switch. Using this symmetric switch, we have demonstrated degenerate photoisomerization experimentally for the first time. With a combination of photochemical-exchange NMR spectroscopy, ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, and quantum chemical calculations, we elucidate the isomerization mechanism of this symmetric phosphaalkene, comparing it to two other known molecules belonging to this class.

Perception of First-Year MBBS Students Toward Virtual Dissection in Learning Anatomy: A Comparative Study Between High and Low Academic Achievers.

Introduction Anatomy, as a crucial subject in the medical curriculum, demands continuous efforts to adopt innovative teaching methods to make it a student-friendly subject. One of the new educational technologies is the virtual anatomy dissection. This high-tech tool allows students to perform some hands-on manipulation of a digital cadaver through an electronic screen in the form of a table.
