It has been shown that the rate of radical formation under UV-irradiation of some aromatic amino acids, peptides and proteins abruptly increases with pH rise in the region 9.5-11. This effect is observed only in the case when the total charge of the molecule after ionization remains negative.

Background: Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) deficiency is a rare life-threatening inborn error of neurotransmitter biosynthesis. It is characterized by deficient biosynthesis of neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, leading to catecholamines deficiency and sympathetic deprivation, while the parasympathetic system remains functional. Since 2012, gene therapy has led to clinical improvements in symptoms and motor function with a severe phenotype.

The aromaticity of a representative sample of pro-aromatic radicals and its nitro, amino, hydroxyl and imine substituted derivatives has been analysed by means of multicentre delocalization indices (MCI) and nuclear-independent chemical shifts (NICS). Because of their radical character, these compounds may exhibit conflicting α/ß aromaticity, so that the contribution of α and β electrons to the MCI and NICS has been analysed separately and their values qualitatively interpreted in terms of the 2n+1/2n rule. All the monocyclic radicals investigated show conflicting α/β aromaticity.

Unlabelled: Gram-negative bacteria play a pivotal role in the bioremediation of persistent organic pollutants, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Because the outer membrane (OM) of these bacteria hinders the direct permeation of hydrophobic substances into the cells, trans-OM proteins are required for the uptake of PAHs. However, neither the characteristics of PAH transporters nor the specific transport mechanism has been well interpreted.

Heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs), formed during the cooking of meat, are potential human carcinogens, underscoring the need for long-lived biomarkers to assess exposure and cancer risk. Frequent consumption of well-done meats containing 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-]pyridine (PhIP), a prevalent HAA that is a prostatic carcinogen in rodents and DNA-damaging agent in human prostate cells, has been linked to aggressive prostate cancer (PC) pathology. African American (AA) men face nearly twice the risk for developing and dying from PC compared to White men.

Despite the diverse industrial applications and health benefits of plant gums, significant variations in quality among different types remain underexplored. This study investigates the differences in antioxidant activity, mineral elements, and metabolic profiles among peach, acacia, and karaya gums. Our findings reveal significant differences in total phenol content, with peach gum exhibiting the highest (20.
