A method for separation and chain length determination of oligo- and polynucleotides by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography was developed, which allows resolution of individual fragments according to their chain length n, up to n approximately 10 by linear gradient of sodium chloride and up to n approximately 30 by an hyperbolic gradient of this salt. The hyperbolic relationship between n and the salt concentration at which elution of the fragment occurs allows determination of the degree of polymerization of oligo- and polynucleotides with unknown n. The method proposed can be used for estimation of the effective charge of nucleic acids with complex structure.

: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a prevalent and debilitating mental disorder that has been linked to hyperhomocysteinemia and folate deficiency. These conditions are influenced by the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase () gene, which plays a crucial role in converting homocysteine to methionine and is essential for folate metabolism and neurotransmitter synthesis, including serotonin. : This study explored the association between and polymorphisms among Saudi MDD patients attending the Erada Complex for Mental Health and Erada Services outpatient clinic in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

4-Phenol oxidases are proposed to be involved in the utilization of lignin-derived aromatic compounds. While enzymes with selectivity towards 4-hydroxyphenyl and guaiacyl motifs are well described, we identified the first syringyl-specific oxidase from Streptomyces cavernae (Sc4ASO) only very recently. Here, in-depth studies were conducted to unravel the molecular origins of the outstanding selectivity of Sc4ASO.

Amphiphilic polymers with distinct polarity differences, known as sharp polarity contrast polymers (SPCPs), have gained much attention for their ability to form micelles with low critical micelle concentrations (CMCs) and potential in anticancer drug delivery. This study addresses the limited research on structure-property relationships of SPCPs by developing various SPCPs and exploring their physicochemical properties and biological applications. Specifically, the superhydrophobic aliphatic palmitoyl (Pal) was coupled to the superhydrophilic zwitterionic poly(2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) (pMPC) to form Pal-pMPC diblock copolymers.

Lithium (Li) metal's extremely high specific energy and low potential make it critical for high-performance batteries. However, uncontrolled dendrite growth and an unstable solid-electrolyte interphase (SEI) during repeated cycling still seriously hinder its practical application in Li metal batteries. Herein, we demonstrate a facile and effective approach to fabricate a flexible and robust hybrid SEI layer using two kinds of organo-polysulfides with different sulfur chain lengths [bis(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)disulfide (Si-O-2S) and bis(3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl)tetrasulfide (Si-O-4S)] as the additives in the electrolyte.

Some lactic acid bacteria such as or contain genes encoding 4,6-α-glucanotransferases. These enzymes convert starch and maltodextrins into isomalto/malto-polysaccharides (IMMPs). Many studies focused on the properties of recombinant glucanotransferases, but limited knowledge is available on fermentative synthesis.
