In this study, we report the structural, thermodynamic and electrochemical properties of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) formed from choline chloride and oxalic acid in anhydrous and di-hydrated form in a 1 : 1 molar ratio. As far as we are aware, this is the first joint X-ray diffraction-molecular dynamics study focussed on analyzing the structural features of DESs.

Unlabelled: Pile fermentation plays a crucial role in the formation of the unique flavor of Liupao tea, which can effectively reduce the bitterness of the tea and promote the formation of red tea soup. In this study, the non-volatiles changes of Liupao tea during pile fermentation processing were fully analyzed by UPLC-QTOF-MS/MS. A total of 271 metabolites with significant differences were identified in Liupao tea during pile fermentation( < 0.

Introduction: Peels are an abundant but still underutilized waste product in the Citrus fruit industry. They contain coumarins with antiadipogenic potential that could be promising targets in new valorization strategies for Citrus peels.
Objectives: In this study, these coumarins, that is, citropten, bergamottin, and 5-geranyloxy-7-methoxycoumarin (5G7MC), were investigated in Citrus limon peels of different commercial varieties by HPLC-DAD after extraction with ethanol and choline chloride-based natural deep eutectic solvents (NADES) as alternative extraction agents in green natural product extraction.

Triterpenoids are known for their promising biological activities, and there is a growing focus on green extraction methods for these compounds. In this study, ultrasound-assisted deep eutectic solvents were employed to extract triterpenoids from persimmon leaves, with choline chloride-lactic acid identified as an effective green solvent. The extraction conditions were carefully optimized using response surface methodology, resulting in an extraction efficiency of 12.

Purifying membrane proteins has been the limiting step for studying their structure and function. The challenges of the process include the low expression levels in heterologous systems and the requirement for their biochemical stabilization in solution. The human voltage-gated proton channel (hH1) is a good example of that: the published protocols to express and purify hH1 produce low protein quantities at high costs, which is an issue for systematically characterizing its structure and function.

Exposure to ionizing radiation during manned deep space missions to Mars could lead to functional impairments of the central nervous system, which may compromise the success of the mission and affect the quality of life for returning astronauts. Along with radiation-induced changes in cognitive abilities and emotional status, the effects of increased motor activity were observed. The mechanisms behind these phenomena still remain unresolved.
