Purpose: The purpose of this work was to monitor polymorphic transformations of glycine during the drying phase of a wet granulation and model the polymorphic conversions using a time-based reconciliation model.

Methods: Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIR) was used for quantitation of polymorphs, and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) was used for qualitative analysis of polymorphs.

Results: The data show that the faster the granulation was dried, the more kinetic trapping of the metastable alpha-glycine polymorph, as predicted by reconciliation of the time scales of both the drying rate and the rate of the solution-mediated conversion.

Conclusions: By knowing basic properties of the drug substance (solubility of the polymorphic forms and the rate of the solution-mediated conversion), processing conditions, such as the drying rate, can be adjusted to anticipate and prevent potential polymorphic transformations.

ConspectusStructural DNA nanotechnology offers a unique self-assembly toolbox to construct soft materials of arbitrary complexity, through bottom-up approaches including DNA origami, brick, wireframe, and tile-based assemblies. This toolbox can be expanded by incorporating interactions orthogonal to DNA base-pairing such as metal coordination, small molecule hydrogen bonding, π-stacking, fluorophilic interactions, or the hydrophobic effect. These interactions allow for hierarchical and long-range organization in DNA supramolecular assemblies through a DNA-minimal approach: the use of fewer unique DNA sequences to make complex structures.

This paper presents the reversible transformation between two polymorphs of a hexacatenar liquid crystal () with distinct fluorescence colors at room temperature (RT). This method utilizes mechanical pressure (mechanochromism) and an electric field (E-field-chromism). The molecule (), designed with a pyrene core and 1,2,3-triazole linkers, exhibits a blue-emissive crystalline (CRY) polymorph () and a green-emissive liquid crystalline (LC) polymorph () at RT, depending on the cooling rate from the liquid phase.

Background: Advances in SNP arrays and reference genome assemblies have significantly transformed cattle genomics, particularly for (Zebu cattle). Many commercial SNP arrays were originally designed for , leading to ascertainment bias and the exclusion of crucial SNPs specific to Zebu populations. This review assesses progress in SNP array and reference genome development, with a focus on efforts tailored to Zebu populations and their impact on genomic selection and breeding efficiency.

We demonstrate that a short oligonucleotide complementary to a G-quadruplex domain can invade this iconic, noncanonical DNA secondary structure in ways that profoundly influence the properties and differential occupancies of the resulting DNA polymorphic products. Our spectroscopic mapping of the conformational space of the associated reactants and products, both before and after strand invasion, yield unanticipated outcomes which reveal several overarching features. First, strand invasion induces the disruption of DNA secondary structural elements in both the invading strand (which can assume an iDNA tetrad structure) and the invaded species (a G-quadruplex).

There is a growing demand for the utilization of sustainable materials, such as cellulose-based alternatives, over fossil-based materials. However, the inherent drawbacks of cellulosic materials, such as extremely low wet strength and resistance to moisture, need significant improvements. Moreover, several of the commercially available wet-strength chemicals and hydrophobic agents for cellulosic material treatment are toxic or fossil-based (e.
