Oxidation stability is an important quality parameter for biodiesel. In general, the methods used to evaluate the oxidation stability of oils and biodiesels are time-consuming. This work reports the use of spectrofluorimetry, a fast analytical technique, associated with multivariate data analysis as a powerful analytical tool to prediction of the oxidation stability. The prediction of the oxidation stability showed a good agreement with the results obtained by the EN14112 reference method Rancimat. The models presented high correlation (0.99276 and 0.97951) between real and predicted values. The R(2) values of 0.98557 and 0.95943 indicated the accuracy of the models to predict the oxidation stability of soy oil and soy biodiesel, respectively. The residual distribution does not follow a trend with respect to the predicted variables indicating the good quality of the fits.

Developing solvents with balanced physicochemical properties for high-voltage cathodes and lithium metal anodes is crucial for a sustainable and intelligent future. Herein, we report fully methylated tetramethyl-1,3-dimethoxydisiloxane (TMMS) as a single solvent for lithium metal batteries. We demonstrate that the fully methylated structure and Si-O bonds within TMMS can effectively elevate the dehydrogenation energy barrier, migrating the oxidation decomposition of the electrolyte.

Single-atom catalysts revolutionize catalysis by maximizing atomic efficiency and enhancing reaction specificity, offering high activity and selectivity with minimal material usage, which is crucial for sustainable processes. However, the unique properties that distinguish single-atom catalysts from other forms, including bulk and nanoparticle catalysts, as well as the physical mechanisms behind their high activity and selectivity, remain unclear, limiting their broader application. Here, through first-principles calculations, we have identified an environmentally adaptive gold single-atom catalyst on a CeO(111) surface capable of adjusting its valence state in response to different environmental conditions.

Mitochondria‑derived peptides (MDPs) are a unique class of peptides encoded by short open reading frames in mitochondrial DNA, including the mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S ribosomal RNA type‑c (MOTS‑c). Recent studies suggest that MDPs offer therapeutic benefits in various diseases, including neurodegenerative disorders and types of cancer, due to their ability to increase cellular resilience. Mitochondrial dysfunction is a key factor in the onset and progression of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), such as atherosclerosis and heart failure, as it disrupts energy metabolism, increases oxidative stress and promotes inflammation.

Rationale: Disulfide bond, an important post-translational modification in peptides or proteins, is of great significance for stabilizing the three-dimensional spatial structure of peptides and proteins, maintaining correct folding conformation, and regulating biological activity. The medicinal peptide with unexpected disulfide connectivity might not have efficacy, even induce immunogenicity. Therefore, it is of importance to assign disulfide connectivity for a peptide.
