The interaction of copper ions with tRNA has been studied by optical and EPR spectroscopies. The interaction results in two different paramagnetic complexes characterized by a tetragonal symmetry of the ligand electric field sensed by the ions. The complete set of the spin Hamiltonian parameters has been extracted by computer simulation with the Monte Carlo method. Hypotheses concerning the putative ligands are put forward.

Carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds are the foundation of essentially every organic molecule, making them an ideal place to do chemical synthesis. The key challenge is achieving selectivity for one particular C(sp)-H bond. In recent years, metalloenzymes have been found to perform C(sp)-H bond functionalization.

We report the radiation-induced darkening (RD) effect caused by X-ray radiation and the bleaching effect caused by D/H/N loading in self-developed Yb-doped large mode-area photonic crystal fibers (LMA PCFs). The decrease in the slope efficiency caused by irradiation decays exponentially with an increase in the X-ray radiation doses, and the radiation-induced gain variation (RIGV) showed a linear decay trend with increasing irradiation doses. The slope efficiency of Yb-doped LMA PCF, which significantly degraded from 71.

Magnetic field effects (MFE) of ferromagnetic spin electrocatalysts have attracted significant attention due to their potential to enhance catalytic activity under an external magnetic field. However, no ferromagnetic spin catalysts have demonstrated MFE in the electrocatalytic reduction of nitrate for ammonia (NORR), a pioneering approach towards NH production involving the conversion from diamagnetic NO to paramagnetic NO. Here, we report the ferromagnetic Fe-TiO to investigate MFE on NORR.
