A p-type Ti(IV)-based metal-organic framework with visible-light photo-response.

Here, we report a new Ti(IV)-based porous metal-organic framework (MOF) (NTU-9), which displayed strong absorption in the visible region with a bandgap of 1.72 eV. The electronic structure and bandgap were further investigated by DFT calculations.

Glycogen phosphorylase in glycogen-rich cells is involved in the energy supply for ion regulation in fish gill epithelia.

The molecular and cellular mechanisms behind glycogen metabolism and the energy metabolite translocation between mammal neurons and astrocytes have been well studied. A similar mechanism is proposed for rapid mobilization of local energy stores to support energy-dependent transepithelial ion transport in gills of the Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). A novel gill glycogen phosphorylase isoform (tGPGG), which catalyzes the initial degradation of glycogen, was identified in branchial epithelial cells of O.
