High-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) and subcritical fluid chromatographic (SFC) separations of the enantiomers of structurally diverse, basic ß-carboline, tetrahydroisoquinoline and benzazepine analogues of pharmacological interest were performed applying chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (i) neutral polysaccharides- and (ii) zwitterionic sulfonic acid derivatives of Cinchona alkaloids. The aim of this work was to reveal the influence of structural peculiarities on the enantiorecognition on both types of CSP through the investigation of the effects of the composition of the bulk solvent, the structures of the chiral analytes (SAs) and chiral selectors (SOs) on retention and stereoselectivity. As a general tendency, valid for all polysaccharide SOs studied, the increase of the concentration of the apolar component in the mobile phase (n-hexane for LC or liquid CO for SFC) was found to significantly increase retention, which in most cases, was accompanied with increased selectivity and resolution. In a way, similar behaviour was registered for the zwitterionic SOs. In polar ionic mode employing eluent systems composed of methanol and acetonitrile with organic acid and base additives, moderate increases in retention factor, selectivity and resolution were observed with increasing acetonitrile content. However, under SFC conditions, an extremely high increase in retention was observed with increased CO content, while selectivity and resolution changed only slightly. Thermodynamic parameters derived from temperature dependence studies revealed that separations are controlled by enthalpy.

High degree of variability in human leukocyte antigens (HLAs) system restricts availability of histocompatible HLA-matched-related donors, thus increasing reliance on worldwide bone marrow registries network. Nevertheless, due to limited coverage/accessibility/affordability of some ethnicities in these registries, haploidentical haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) emerged as an alternative option, though with allorecognition-mediated graft versus host disease (GvHD) (>40% cases). A dimorphism [-21 methionine (M) or threonine (T)] in HLA-B leader peptide (exon 1) which differentially influences its HLA-E binding, plausibly regulates natural killer cell functionality, affecting GvHD vulnerability and clinically in practice for donor selection.

Purpose: To compare same-day photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT) to conventional energy-integrating detector CT (EID-CT) for detection of small renal stones (≤ 3 mm).

Methods: Patients undergoing clinical dual-energy EID-CT for known or suspected stone disease underwent same-day research PCD-CT. Patients with greater than 10 stones and no visible stones under 3 mm were excluded.

The influence of additives and modifiers on the chiral HPLC separation of the nicotine enantiomers using UV/Vis detection is discussed. Selected alcohols as modifiers and selected amines as additives were found to have a significant effect on the resolution and retention times of nicotine enantiomers even to the point of eliminating component elution. Systematic variations in the concentration of ethanol, methanol, and isopropanol, as modifiers, along with variations in the concentration of diethylamine, triethylamine, tributylamine, ethylenediamine, isopropylamine, as additives, revealed that the average resolution (R) of the nicotine enantiomers ranged from 2.

Knowledge of protein-metabolite interactions can enhance mechanistic understanding and chemical probing of biochemical processes, but the discovery of endogenous ligands remains challenging. Here, we combined rapid affinity purification with precision mass spectrometry and high-resolution molecular docking to precisely map the physical associations of 296 chemically diverse small-molecule metabolite ligands with 69 distinct essential enzymes and 45 transcription factors in the gram-negative bacterium Escherichia coli. We then conducted systematic metabolic pathway integration, pan-microbial evolutionary projections, and independent in-depth biophysical characterization experiments to define the functional significance of ligand interfaces.

Retrieving words quickly and correctly is an important language competence. Semantic contexts, such as prior naming of categorically related objects, can induce conceptual priming but also lexical-semantic interference, the latter likely due to enhanced competition during lexical selection. In the continuous naming (CN) paradigm, such semantic interference is evident in a linear increase in naming latency with each additional member of a category out of a seemingly random sequence of pictures being named (cumulative semantic interference/CSI effect).
