CH(3)OX molecules (X = H, F, Cl and Br) can be formed in the atmosphere by the CH(3) + OX and CH(3)O + X recombination reactions. In the present study the results of a theoretical analysis of the kinetics and thermochemistry of this class of reactions are presented. The molecular properties of the reactants and products were derived from ab initio calculations. The high-pressure limiting rate constants for the recombination reactions were evaluated using a version of the statistical adiabatic channel model. The kinetic equations derived in this study allow a description of the kinetics of the reactions under investigation in the temperature range of 200-500 K.

Tick-borne spotted fever rickettsioses (SFRs) continue to cause severe illness and death in otherwise-healthy individuals due to lack of a timely and reliable diagnostic laboratory test. We recently identified a diagnostic biomarker for SFRs, the putative N-acetylmuramoyl-l-alanine amidase RC0497. Here, we developed a prototype laboratory test that targets RC0497 for diagnosis of SFRs.

Ammonia oxidizing archaea (AOA) are among the most abundant microorganisms on earth and are known to be a major source of nitrous oxide (NO) emissions, although biochemical origins of this NO remain unknown. Enzymological details of AOA nitrogen metabolism are broadly unavailable. We report the recombinant expression, purification, and characterization of a multicopper oxidase, Nmar_1354, from the AOA .

Steroidal glycoalkaloids (SGAs) are specialized metabolites primarily produced by Solanaceae plants such as potatoes and tomatoes. Notably, α-solanine and α-chaconine are recognized as toxic substances in potatoes. While the biosynthetic pathways of SGAs are largely understood, the final steps of α-solanine and α-chaconine biosynthesis remained elusive.

One of the most significant bacteriophage technologies is phage display, in which heterologous peptides are exhibited on the virion surface. This work describes the display of λ decorative protein D linked to the E protein domain III of Zika virus (D-ZE), to the GFP protein (D-GFP), or to different domain III epitopes of the E protein (D-TD), exhibited on the surface of an in vitro evolved lambda phage (λ). This phage harbors a gene D deletion and was subjected to directed evolution using Escherichia coli W3110/pD-ZE as background.

Recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) has emerged as the vector of choice for in vivo gene delivery, with numerous clinical trials underway for the treatment of various human diseases. Utilizing rAAV in gene therapy requires a highly precise quantification method to determine the viral genome titer and further establish the optimal therapeutic dosage for a rAAV product. The conventional single-channel droplet digital PCR (1D ddPCR) method offers only partial information regarding the viral vector genome titer, lacking insights into its integrity.
