The combination of flexible neutral organic tectons based on two pyridines interconnected by a thioether or thioester type spacer with an inorganic ZnSiF(6) pillar leads to the formation of 2-D coordination networks and the packing of the latter generates crystals offering controllable tubular channels with imposed orientation along the pillar axis.

Environmental factors such as mountain tectonic movements and monsoons can enhance genetic differentiation by hindering inter- and intra-specific gene flow. However, the phylogeographic breaks detected within species may differ depending on the different molecular markers used, and biological traits may be a major confounding factor. is a vulnerable relict species distributed throughout the Sichuan Basin.

The mechanical deformation of coals occurring extensively during the geological period (tectonically deformed coals) can directly alter their pore structures and then the storage of coalbed methane. This study in-situ investigated the effects of different mechanical deformations on the ultramicropore structure and the methane adsorption of coal molecules using molecular simulations. The results show that the shear deformation (< 0.

The peptidoglycan (PG) cell wall is critical for bacterial growth and survival and is a primary antibiotic target. MreD is an essential accessory factor of the Rod complex, which carries out PG synthesis during elongation, yet little is known about how MreD facilitates this process. Here, we present the cryo-electron microscopy structure of MreD in complex with another essential Rod complex component, MreC.

Sulfate is the second most common nonmetallic ion in modern oceans, as its concentration dramatically increased alongside tectonic activity and atmospheric oxidation in the Proterozoic. Microbial sulfate/sulfite metabolism, involving organic carbon or hydrogen oxidation, is linked to sulfur and carbon biogeochemical cycles. However, the coevolution of microbial sulfate/sulfite metabolism and Earth's history remains unclear.
