The competition association binding method allows the characterization of the kinetics of unlabeled compounds and the calculation of receptor-drug affinity (K ). The K value is defined as the ratio of the dissociation constant (or k ) of the receptor-bound ligand to its association rate constant (or k ) for a system at equilibrium. Traditionally, competition association binding experiments have been carried out using radiometric detection methods with limited assay throughput. Here we describe a novel method for the determination of unlabeled compound kinetics using the technique of time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) performed at physiological temperature and sodium ion concentration. Based on a traditional screening format (10-point curves), up to 28 compounds can be tested on a single 384-well plate by this method.

Fine-Tuning NIR-Absorbing BODIPYs for Photoacoustic Detection of Hypochlorous Ion (OCl⁻).

Chem Asian J

January 2025

Rheinisch-Westfalische Technische Hochschule Aachen, Organic Chemistry, Landoltw, 52074, Aachen, GERMANY.

Highly reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) play crucial roles in various pathological conditions. Among them, hypochlorous ion (OCl⁻), a potent ROS, is associated in numerous oxidative stress-related disorders. Elevated levels of OCl⁻ are thus recognized as a biomarker for diagnosing inflammatory conditions.

Background: Isolated rapid-eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder (iRBD) is characterized by abnormal behaviors in REM sleep and is considered as a prodromal symptom of alpha-synucleinopathies. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rsfMRI) studies have unveiled altered functional connectivity (rsFC) in patients with iRBD. However, the associations between intra- and inter-network rsFC with clinical symptoms and neuropsychological functioning in iRBD remain unclear.

Coexisting with large carnivores based on the Volterra principle.

Conserv Biol

January 2025

Department of Forestry and Wildlife Management, University of Inland Norway, Koppang, Norway.

Coexistence with large carnivores represents one of the world's highest profile conservation challenges. Ecologists have identified ecological benefits derived from large carnivores (and large herbivores), yet livestock depredation, perceived competition for shared game, risks to pets and humans, and social conflicts often lead to demands for reduction of predator numbers from a range of stakeholder groups. Nearly 100 years ago, Vito Volterra predicted that increased mortality on both prey and predators results in increased abundance of prey and decreased abundance of predators.

Self-assessed health of adult Australian sport club participants during and after COVID-19 restrictions: a longitudinal study.

BMC Public Health

January 2025

Physical Activity and Sport Insights, Institute of Health and Wellbeing, Federation University, Ballarat, Australia.

Background: Internationally, COVID-19 restrictions impacted negatively on participation in sport and physical activity. Participation in community club sport was particularly disrupted with cancelled training and competitions, and this has been shown to impact the health of individuals. We now need to investigate the effects of the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions.

Bluetongue virus (BTV) has emerged as a significant concern in Oman, affecting various animal species, including camels. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the seroprevalence of BTV in camels and explore the associated risk factors within the northern region of Oman. Between October 2016 and March 2017, 439 serum samples and 100 blood samples were collected from camels in five governorates.
