The structure of the MP-4 protein was previously determined at a resolution of 2.8 Å. Owing to the unavailability of gene-sequence information at the time, the side-chain assignment was carried out on the basis of a partial sequence available through Edman degradation, sequence homology to orthologs and electron density. The structure of MP-4 has now been determined at a higher resolution (2.22 Å) in another space group and all of the structural inferences that were presented in the previous report of the structure were validated. In addition, the present data allowed an improved assignment of side chains and enabled further analysis of the MP-4 structure, and the accuracy of the assignment was confirmed by the recently available gene sequence. The study reinforces the traditional concept that conservative interpretations of relatively low-resolution structures remain correct even with the availability of high-resolution data.

MOF-199 is considered to be an excellent CO adsorbent owing to its substantial specific surface area, suitable pore structure and abundant sorption sites. However, powdered MOF-199 is prone to agglomeration and has poor recyclability. Herein, we proposed a MOF-199-based adsorbent by combining the MOF synthesis process with traditional papermaking process.

This paper presents all-atom molecular dynamics to understand the separation behavior of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) from 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [BMIM][BF] using alkylated phenols as extractants. We have utilized four solvents such as 4-methyl phenol (4-MP), 4-ethyl phenol (4-EP), 4-propyl phenol (4-PP), and 4-butyl phenol (4-BP). We perform structural, dynamic, and rigorous thermodynamic analyses of 5-HMF in the mixture of ILs and solvents.

Inspired by the recently synthesized inorganic metallocene derivatives Fe(P), we have identified four stable inorganic metallocene nanowires, MP (M = Sc, Ti, Cr and Fe) in configurations of either regular quadrangular prism (Q-type) or anticube (A-type), and further investigated their magnetic and electronic characteristics utilizing the first-principles calculation. It shows that CrP is a ferromagnetic metal, while other nanowires are semiconducting antiferromagnets with bandgaps of 0.44, 1.

In the quest of recognizing hazardous nitro-aromatic compounds in water, two pyridine-functionalized Schiff-base chemosensors, DMP ((E)-N-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)(pyridin-2-yl)methanamine)) and MP (4-((E)-((pyridin-2-yl)methylimino)methyl)-2-ethoxyphenol) have been synthesized to detect mutagenic 2,4,6-Trinitrophenol (TNP) in soil, water as well as cellular matrices by producing turn-off emission responses as a combined consequence of PET and RET processes. Several experimental analyses including ESI-MS, FT-IR, photoluminescence, H NMR titration, and the theoretical calculations ascertained the formation and sensing efficacies of the chemosensors. The analytical substantiations revealed that structural variation of the chemosensors played a significant role in improving the sensing efficiency, which would certainly be worthwhile in developing small molecular TNP sensors.

Cysteine proteases of malaria parasites have been recognized as potential targets in antimalarial drug development as they play pivotal roles in the biology of these parasites. However, strict regulation of their activities is also necessary to minimize or prevent deleterious damage to the parasite and the host. Previously, we have characterized falcipain family cysteine proteases of , named as malapains (MPs).
