The single toxicities (24h-EC50) and mixture toxicities of 18 substituted biphenyls to Daphnia magna were tested. Quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) were developed from the single toxicities. Octanol-water partition coefficient (IgK(ow)) model, theoretical linear solvation energy relationship (TLSER) model and quantum chemistry parameter model were built for these compounds. It was found that the quantum chemistry parameter model had a good predictive capability. The study of mixture toxicities of substituted biphenyls showed that the joint toxicity mechanism was concentration addition. Half effective concentrations of mixtures (EC50mix) were predicted according to concentration addition. The predicted and observed values coincided rather well.

Background: Nitrogen (N) deposition has become a major driving factor affecting the balance of terrestrial ecosystems, changing the soil environment, element balance and species coexistence relationships, driving changes in biodiversity and ecosystem structure and function. Human-induced nitrogen input leads to a high NH/ NO ratio in soil. However, relatively few studies have investigated the effects of different nitrogen sources on forest plant-microbial symbionts.

Molecular glue degraders (MGDs) represent a unique class of targeted protein degradation (TPD) modalities. By facilitating protein-protein interactions between E3 ubiquitin ligases and neo-substrates, MGDs offer a novel approach to target previously undruggable or insufficiently drugged disease-causing proteins. Here, we present an overview of recently reported MGDs, highlighting their diverse mechanisms, and we discuss mechanism-based strategies to discover new MGDs and neo-substrates.

This study involves the design, divergent synthesis, conformational and structural analysis, target prediction, and molecular docking simulations of novel nano N-thiazolylpyridylamines 2-7 and 10 as potential cyclin-dependent kinase 2 (CDK2) inhibitors. Using a divergent synthesis approach, the compounds were designed with structural variation and optimization in mind. The conformational and structural properties were explored through various spectroscopic techniques, confirming the structure, stability, and preferred conformations.

A large number of by-products generated in the food industry is discarded as waste, especially the residue left after extracting plant resources, which is typically repurposed as fertilizer. In this study, we extracted and purified a new protein, DOP1, from the residue of Dendrobium officinale Kimura & Migo (D. officinale), and explored the protective effect of DOP1 on alcohol-induced gastric mucosal injury.

In this study, the improvement mechanism of yeast proteins (YPs) with the ultrasonic and pH shifting treatment on the emulsion stability was investigated through the solubility, protein structure and interface behavior of YPs. Compared with only pH shifting or ultrasound treatment, the solubility of YPs with the combined treatment of ultrasonic and pH shifting was increased significantly. The soluble protein content of pH-U400 reached 85.
