We report the results of a new experimental search for the Pauli-forbidden 1s(4) state of Be, denoted by Be ('). Using the Accelerator Mass Spectrometer facility at Purdue University, we set limits on the abundance of Be (') in metallic Be, Be ore, natural gas, and air. Our results improve on those obtained in a previous search for Be (') by a factor of approximately 300.

Although electrostatic catalysis can enhance the kinetics and selectivity of reactions to produce greener synthetic processes, the highly directional nature of electrostatic interactions has limited widespread application. In this study, the influence of oriented electric fields (OEF) on radical addition and atom abstraction reactions are systematically explored with ion-trap mass spectrometry using structurally diverse distonic radical ions that maintain spatially separated charge and radical moieties. When installed on rigid molecular scaffolds, charged functional groups lock the magnitude and orientation of the internal electric field with respect to the radical site, creating an OEF which tunes the reactivity across the set of gas-phase carbon-centred radical reactions.

Scaled and Weighted Laplacian Matrices as Functional Descriptors for GPCR Ligands.

J Comput Chem

January 2025

Departamento de Fisicoquímica, Facultad de Química, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Coyoacán, CDMX, Mexico.

The G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) pharmacology accounts for a significant field in research, clinical studies, and therapeutics. Computer-aided drug discovery is an evolving suite of techniques and methodologies that facilitate accelerated progress in drug discovery and repositioning. However, the structure-activity relationships of molecules targeting GPCRs are highly challenging in many cases since slight structural modifications can lead to drastic changes in biological functionality.

Circ-NMNAT1 Drives Tumor Progression in Bladder Cancer by Modulating the miR-370-3p/ATXN2L Axis.

Appl Biochem Biotechnol

January 2025

Department of Urology, Central People's Hospital of Zhanjiang, No.236, Yuanzhu Road, Chikan District, Zhanjiang City, 524037, Guangdong Province, China.

The relationship between circular RNAs (circRNAs) and tumor growth and metastasis is increasingly well-established. In this study, we sought to shed light on circ-NMNAT1's potential molecular mechanisms in bladder cancer (BCa). circ-NMNAT1, miR-370-3p, and ATXN2L expression profiles were explored using RT-qPCR and/or Western blot techniques.

Maximal strength, sprint and jump performance in elite kumite karatekas.

BMC Sports Sci Med Rehabil

January 2025

Exercise and Rehabilitation Sciences Institute, School of Physical Therapy, Faculty of Rehabilitation Sciences, Universidad Andres Bello, Santiago, Chile.

Background: Both maximal muscle strength and muscle power are independently important for karatekas. However, the relationship between strength and power in elite male kumite karatekas is under researched. This study aimed to determine the relationship between back-leg-chest (BLC) isometric muscle strength with sprint and jump variables in elite male karatekas.

Background: Reducing inequalities in women's nutrition and health care can accelerate progress towards Sustainable Development Goals for maternal and child health. Nutrition interventions for women are delivered through maternal health services such as antenatal care and institutional deliveries, but whether they reach and protect the disadvantaged against malnutrition is not well documented.

Objective: To assess the similarities in socioeconomic disparities and inequalities in the nutritional status and health care of women.
