It is assumed that DNA in mammalian cells is a dynamic conformationally unstable system. This instability provides the cell with a mechanism for dissociating a large number of substances that bind tightly but not covalently to DNA. Among these is the fluorescent dye Hoechst 33342, which binds to DNA in the minor groove. We have selected cell lines with a high capability for active dissociation of Hoechst 33342. Comparative protein analysis of these lines by means of two-dimensional (2-D) electrophoresis was performed. Cell and nuclear proteins were analyzed from these and normal strains. A few proteins with significantly changed quantities have been found. The preliminary search of the 2-D database allowed us to identity some known and unknown cellular proteins that could participate in active dissociation of the dye from DNA.

Generalized Hartree-Fock (GHF) is a long-established electronic structure method that can lower the energy (compared to spin-restricted variants) by breaking physical wave function symmetries, namely and . After an exposition of GHF theory, we assess the use of GHF trial wave functions in phaseless auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC-G) calculations of strongly correlated molecular systems including symmetrically stretched hydrogen rings, carbon dioxide, and dioxygen. Imaginary time propagation is able to restore symmetry and yields energies of comparable or better accuracy than CCSD(T) with unrestricted HF and GHF references, and consistently smooth dissociation curves─a remarkable result given the relative scalability of ph-AFQMC-G to larger system sizes.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are a promising drug modality substantially expanding in both the discovery space and clinical development. Assessing the biotransformation of ADCs and is important in understanding their stability and pharmacokinetic properties. We previously reported biotransformation pathways for the anti-B7H4 topoisomerase I inhibitor ADC, AZD8205, puxitatug samrotecan, that underpin its structural stability using an intact protein liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) approach.

Reasonable design of hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) electrocatalysts with low Pt loading and excellent catalytic performance is a key challenge in finding efficient and cost attractive catalysts. Pt with its unique d-electrons provides new opportunities for the development of HER catalysts when it forms compounds with highly earth-abundant C. Herein, we focused on designing highly efficient catalysts composed of Pt and C elements using first-principles structure search simulations, identifying four stability PtC monolayers.

Electrochemical reduction of CO to value-added multicarbon (C) productions offers an attractive route for renewable energy storage and CO utilization, but it remains challenging to achieve high C selectivity at industrial-level current density. Herein, a MoCu single-atom alloy (SAA) catalyst is reported that displays a remarkable C Faradaic efficiency of 86.4% under 0.

Background: Salinity stress impairs cotton growth and fiber quality. Protoplasts enable elucidation of early salt-responsive signaling. Elucidating crop tolerance mechanisms that ameliorate these diverse salinity-induced stresses is key for improving agricultural productivity under saline conditions.
