Article Synopsis
  • The pncA gene mutations in Mycobacterium tuberculosis are linked to resistance against the antibiotic pyrazinamide (PZA), with notable differences between sensitive and resistant strains.
  • The study identified three specific mutations in the resistant strain (pncAR1) that altered key amino acids, resulting in decreased enzyme activity for activating PZA.
  • The findings suggest a need for further structural studies on the mutated PZase protein to better understand how these mutations contribute to drug resistance and to aid in the design of more effective tuberculosis treatments.

Heavy industry can face challenges in choosing applicable climate change mitigation measures due to a lack of technical background and practical guidance. A better understanding of these determinants is needed to design region-specific climate policies that most effectively enable more 'successful' low carbon transitions. Set in an emerging economy, this study aims to understand the determinants which underlie investment decision-making in greenhouse gas reduction.

Two new biotransformation products, N-acetyl-m-aminobenzoic acid and N-formyl-m-aminobenzoic acid were isolated from cell suspension cultures of Solanum laciniatum following administration of m-aminobenzoic acid, and their structures were elucidated using one- and two-dimensional 1H- and 13C-NMR data.
