Transition state variation in enzymatic reactions.

Curr Opin Chem Biol

Department of Biochemistry, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, 1300 Morris Park Avenue, Bronx, NY 10461, USA.

Published: October 2001

Experimental analysis of enzymatic transition states by kinetic isotope effect methods has established geometric variation in related transition state structures. Differences are apparent in development of the reaction coordinate, in solvolytic transition states relative to those in enzymatic catalytic sites, in the stereochemistry of related substrates at the transition state, and in reactions catalyzed by related enzymes.

During maritime operations, extreme events such as explosions, grounding, and seal failures can cause water ingress into lubricant compartments, forming oil-water emulsions that significantly affect the lubrication performance of ship stern bearings. Existing studies mainly focus on low water content, with limited exploration of the impact of high water content on lubrication performance. To address this gap, viscosity measurements of oil-water mixtures were conducted, and an emulsification viscosity equation applicable to varying water contents was derived.

Resources and land carrying capacity are vital to the survival and development of human society and form the foundation for ensuring food security. However, evaluating land carrying capacity solely based on grain production is overly simplistic. A comprehensive assessment from the perspective of dietary nutrition is needed to more accurately reflect the actual carrying capacity of land.

Physician assistant/associate career flexibility: factors associated with specialty transitions.

BMC Health Serv Res

December 2024

National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants, 12000 Findley Road, Suite 200, Johns Creek, Georgia, 30097, USA.

Background: Physician assistants/associates (PAs), due to their broad medical education and certification, have the flexibility to change specialties throughout their careers. Prior studies suggest that between half and three-quarters exercise this option at some point in their career, and a third do so within the first decade. However, more research is needed to understand the factors associated with PAs changing vs.

Photothermal-manipulatable shape memory polyacrylamide/gelatin Janus hydrogel with drug carrier array for invasive wound closure and responsive drug release.

Int J Biol Macromol

State Key Laboratory of Resource Insects, College of Sericulture, Textile and Biomass Sciences, Southwest University, Chongqing 400715, China. Electronic address:

Traditional wound closure methods often present several issues, including additional puncture wounds, adverse effects from anesthesia, and noticeable scarring. Inspired by embryonic wound healing, a Janus hydrogel (PG/Au-Asp@PCM) is designed to manipulate non-invasive wound closure by photothermal-responsive self-contraction of PG/Au-Asp@PCM, which is attributed to the shape memory behavior of PG/Au-Asp@PCM under near-infrared (NIR). Wherein, gelatin acts as a thermally reversible "switch" and polyacrylamide creates stable and cross-linked "net-points".

Objectives: Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) management now includes dose-reduction (DR) and treatment-free remission (TFR). Evaluating cost-effectiveness of lifelong-prescribed expensive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for CML is crucial. Prior cost-effectiveness evaluations state that imatinib is the favorable frontline TKI.
