The ultraviolet/visible spectra of TOP I were studied. It was proved that TOP I is an acid enzyme containing it hemochrome as an agon. When the pH reduced, the Soret absorption in UV-Vis region exhibited a blue shift, when pH increased exhibited a red shift. The result of the influence of carbamide, the denaturant, on the spectra showed that TOP I may have a unfolded structural change in the solution, which made the peptide chain completely extend. After adding Fe(III), Fe(II), Cu(II), Zn(II), Co(II), Ni(II) and Sn(II) to the apo-TOP I, the UV-Vis spectra changed except for Fe(III), which almost did not change at all. The strongest characteristic absorption peak of the Soret showed a blue shift to different extent and it became weak gradually. The situation of alpha-strip and beta-strip remained unchanged while the relative strength decreased.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease of cartilage characterised by joint pain, functional limitation, and reduced quality of life with affected joint movement leading to pain and limited mobility. Current methods to diagnose OA are predominantly limited to X-ray, MRI and invasive joint fluid analysis, all of which lack chemical or molecular specificity and are limited to detection of the disease at later stages. A rapid minimally invasive and non-destructive approach to disease diagnosis is a critical unmet need.

Article Synopsis
- Despite advancements in perovskite light-emitting diodes (PeLEDs), maintaining high stability is still a significant issue due to heat production during operation, which accelerates device wear.
- Current methods like infrared thermal imaging (ITI) primarily measure the temperature of the device's surface, leaving the internal temperature of the perovskite layer unexplored.
- This research introduces an electroluminescence (EL) analysis technique, which allows real-time tracking of the perovskite layer's temperature, providing a straightforward and effective approach to assess the temperature of PeLEDs while they are in use.
FAST MS: Software for the Automated Analysis of Top-Down Mass Spectra of Polymeric Molecules Including RNA, DNA, and Proteins.

Top-down mass spectrometry (MS) enables comprehensive characterization of modified proteins and nucleic acids and, when native electrospray ionization (ESI) is used, binding site mapping of their complexes with native or therapeutic ligands. However, the high complexity of top-down MS spectra poses a serious challenge to both manual and automated data interpretation, even when the protein, RNA, or DNA sequence and the type of modification or the ligand are known. Here, we introduce FAST MS, a user-friendly software that identifies, assigns and relatively quantifies signals of molecular and fragment ions in MS and MS/MS spectra of biopolymers with known sequence and provides a toolbox for statistical analysis.

Objective: Dual-layer spectral detector CT (DLCT) has several advantages in clinical practice, this study aims to reveal the clinical applications of DLCT in digestive system diseases.
Materials And Methods: We searched PubMed and Cochrane Reviews for articles published from January 1, 2010 to May 31, 2024, using the terms "dual-layer spectral detector CT" or "dual-layer CT" combined with "hepatic fat" or "hepatic fibrosis" "hepatocellular carcinoma" or "pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma" or "pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors" or "gastric cancer" or "colorectal cancer" or "Crohn's disease" or "bowel ischemia" or "acute abdominal conditions".
Results: DLCT consists of a top layer sensitive to lower-energy photons and a bottom layer sensitive to higher-energy photons.
Broad Range Tuning of InAs Quantum Dot Emission for Nanophotonic Devices in the Telecommunication Bands.

InAs semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the near-infrared are promising platforms for on-demand single-photon sources and spin-photon interfaces. However, the realization of quantum-photonic nanodevices emitting in the telecom windows with similar performance remains an open challenge. In particular, nanophotonic devices incorporating quantum light emitting diodes in the telecom C-band based on GaAs substrates are still lacking due to the relaxation of the lattice constant along the InGaAs graded layer which makes the implementation of electrically contacted devices challenging.
