Contrary to the classic model of protein kinase A (PKA) residing outside of the nucleus, we identify a nuclear signaling complex that consists of AKAP95, PKA, and PDE4D5 and show that it forms a functional cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling microdomain. Locally generated cAMP can accumulate within the vicinity of this complex; however, when cAMP is generated at the plasma membrane, PDE4 serves as a local sink and PDE3 as a barrier to prevent accumulation of cAMP within the microdomain as a means of controlling activation of tethered nuclear PKA.

The accurate determination of acid/base constants (proton dissociation constants-p, or equivalently protonation constants-log) is essential for the physicochemical characterization of new molecules, especially in drug design and development, as these parameters thoroughly influence the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of drug action. While pH/potentiometric titration remains the gold standard method for determining acid/base constants, spectroscopic techniques-particularly nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (as NMR/pH titrations)-have emerged as powerful alternatives for specific challenges in analytical chemistry, providing also information on the structure and site of protonation. In this study, we performed a comprehensive meta-analysis of protonation constants reported in the literature, measured using both potentiometry and NMR titrations.

The reactions of diketene were investigated in the HF/MF and DF/MF (M = As or Sb) binary superacidic systems. Depending on the stoichiometric ratio of the Lewis acids and diketene, monoprotonated acetoacetyl fluoride and diprotonated acetoacetyl fluoride were obtained. The salts were characterized by low-temperature vibrational spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Background: As the primary source of glucose during fasting, hepatic gluconeogenesis is rigorously regulated to maintain euglycemia. Abnormal gluconeogenesis in the liver can lead to hyperglycemia, a key diagnostic marker and the primary pathological contributor to type 2 diabetes (T2D) and metabolic disorders. Hepatic nuclear factor-4 (HNF4α) is an important regulator of gluconeogenesis.

Paediatric patients with congenital heart disease often undergo cardiac catheterisation procedures and are exposed to considerable ionising radiation early in life. This study aimed to develop a method for estimating the dose area product () from paediatric cardiac catheterisation procedures (1975-1989) at a national centre for paediatric cardiology and to evaluate trends inand exposure parameters until 2021. Data from 2200 catheterisation procedures on 1685 patients (1975-1989) and 4184 procedures on 2139 patients (2000-2021) under 18 years of age were retrospectively collected.
