The Raman spectrum and SERS of glycine anhydride in acidic and basic media on positive silver colloids were recorded. Calculations of the vibration frequencies were performed for glycine anhydride by B3LYP at 6-31g(d) level. The assignment of Raman spectrum and SERS of glycine anhydride in acidic media were obtained with the help of calculation. It was found that the glycine anhydride is physically adsorbed on the surface of silver. The SERS of glycine anhydride is very different in acidic media from that in basic media. This seems to mean that the geometry of glycine anhydride on positive silver colloid in basic media has changed.

Background: The increasing incidence of childhood obesity annually has led to a surge in physical and mental health risks, making it a significant global public health concern. This study aimed to discover novel biomarkers of childhood simple obesity through integrative multi-omics analysis, uncovering their potential connections and providing fresh research directions for the complex pathogenesis and treatment strategies.
Methods: Transcriptome, untargeted metabolome, and 16 S rDNA sequencing were conducted on subjects to examine transcripts, metabolites in blood, and gut microflora in stool.

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not have a well-defined folded structure but instead behave as extended polymer chains in solution. Many IDPs are rich in glycine residues, which create steric barriers to secondary structuring and protein folding. Inspired by this feature, we have studied how the introduction of glycine residues influences the secondary structure of a model polypeptide, poly(l-glutamic acid), a helical polymer.

Ecological nutrition aims to unravel the extensive web of nutritional links that drives animals in their interactions with their ecological environments. Nutrition plays a key role in the success of European wild rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) and could be affected by the breeding status of the animals and reflected in the metabolome of this species. As nutritional needs are considerably increased during pregnancy and lactation, the main objective of this work was to determine how the breeding status (pregnant and lactating) of European wild rabbit does affects nutritional requirements and their metabolome (using targeted and untargeted metabolomics), aiming to find a useful biomarker of breeding status and for monitoring nutritional requirements.

The clinical translation of polysarcosine (pSar) as polyethylene glycol (PEG) replacement in the development of novel nanomedicines creates a broad demand of polymeric material in high-quality making high-purity sarcosine N-carboxyanhydride (Sar-NCA) as monomer for its production inevitable. Within this report, we present the use of triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate in Sar-NCA synthesis with focus on amino acid and chloride impurities to avoid the sublimation of Sar-NCAs. With a view towards upscaling into kilogram or ton scale, a new methodology of monomer purification is introduced by utilizing the Meerwein's Salt triethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate to remove chloride impurities by covalent binding and converting chloride ions into volatile products within a single step.
