The metabolomic approach has recently been used in the assessment of semen quality and male fertility. Additionally, the crucial roles of branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) and aromatic amino acids (AAAs) in metabolic syndrome (MetS) were reported. However, little information exists about the association between BCAAs and AAAs with semen parameters, particularly in men with and without MetS.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are considered an international problem due to their persistence in the environment, need to be properly treated in the end. In the destruction method by incineration, basic data are required to quantify the destruction characteristics of the target substance and the temperature-dependent behavior of its by-products. In this study, we conducted incineration tests targeting perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctadecanoic acid (PFOcDA).

Heteroatom doping into the transition metal-based catalysts is an effective strategy to improve the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics. Herein, we proposed a one-step, soft template assisted, and green method for the synthesis of Sulfur (S) doped single atom FeNC catalyst. XAFS demonstrated that the Fe active sites in the FeNSC were more likely to possess the Fe-N configuration.

The design of organic-peptide hybrids has the potential to combine our vast knowledge of protein design with small molecule engineering to create hybrid structures with complex functions. Here, we describe the computational design of a photoswitchable Ca-binding organic-peptide hybrid. The designed molecule, designated Ca-binding switch (CaBS), combines an EF-hand motif from classical Ca-binding proteins such as calmodulin with a photoswitchable group that can be reversibly isomerized between a spiropyran (SP) and merocyanine (MC) state in response to different wavelengths of light.

Brazilian soils have distinctive characteristics to European and North American soils which are typically used to investigate pesticide fate. This study aimed to compare soil-water partition coefficient (K), reversibility of adsorption and degradation half-life (DT) of 5 pesticides covering a wide range of physico-chemical properties in contrasting Brazilian soils (Argissolo, Gleissolo, Latossolo and Neossolo) and a temperate (UK) alfisol soil, and to study their relationship with soil OM, clay and expandable clay content, CEC and pH. In addition, we used a novel laboratory test to evaluate sorption reversibility, the 3-Phase Assay (3PA).
