Chlorsulfuron has been applied in wheat fields as a recognized herbicide worldwide, yet it was officially banned in China since 2014 for its soil persistence problem. On the basis of our previous research that 5-dimethylamino distinctively accelerated degradation rate in soils, a modified amino moiety () and monosubstituted amino group () were introduced onto the fifth position of the benzene ring in sulfonylurea structures, as well as heterocyclic amino substituents () to seek a suitable soil degradation rate during such an in situ crop rotation system. Referring to the biological data and AHAS inhibition and AHAS docking results, they turned out to be AHAS inhibitors with high potent herbicidal activities. The various influence on soil degradation rate along with crop safety indicated that different substituents on the fifth position have exerted an apparent impact. Their united study of structure-activity-safety-degradation relationship has great potential to provide valuable information for further development of eco-friendly agrochemicals.

L-valine holds wide-ranging applications in medicine, food, feed, and various industrial sectors. Escherichia coli, a pivotal strain in industrial L-valine production, features a concise fermentation period and a well-defined genetic background. This study focuses on mismatch repair genes (mutH, mutL, mutS, and recG) and genes associated with mutagenesis (dinB, rpoS, rpoD, and recA), employing a high-glucose adaptive culture in conjunction with metabolic modifications to systematically screen for superior phenotypes.

This research highlights a sustainable approach for the design and synthesis of a magnetic nickel ferrite (NiFeO) catalyst reutilizing industrial waste, specifically iron ore tailing and Raney nickel catalyst processing waste, by simple co-precipitation method. Transforming waste materials into high-performance catalysts, this study aligns with the principles of a circular economy, addressing both environmental waste and pollution. Structural characterization by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microscopic (FESEM and TEM) revealed the formation of well crystalline nano ferrite with NiFeO nanoparticles with cubic spinel structure.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the most serious and common complications in the course of sepsis, known for its poor prognosis and high mortality rate. Recently, ferroptosis, as a newly discovered regulatory cell death, might be closely associated with the progression of AKI. METTL14 is a writer of RNA m6A, an abundant epigenetic modification in transcriptome with broad function.

Self-sufficient biocatalytic cascade for the continuous synthesis of danshensu in flow.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Bern, Freiestrasse 3, 3012, Bern, Switzerland.

A new strategy has been developed to successfully produce the active component danshensu ex vivo. For this purpose, phenylalanine dehydrogenase from Bacillus sphaericus was combined with the novel hydroxyphenylpyruvate reductase from Mentha x piperita, thereby providing an in situ cofactor regeneration throughout the conversion process. The purified enzymes were co-immobilized and subsequently employed in batch biotransformation, resulting in 60% conversion of 10 mM L-dopa within 24 h, with a catalytic amount of NAD as cofactor.

Preparation of bovine serum albumin nanospheres desolvation: a study of synthesis, characterization, and aging.

Nanoscale

January 2025

School of Sustainable Chemical, Biological and Materials Engineering, University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK 73019, USA.

Serum albumin has myriad uses in biotechnology, but its value as a nanocarrier or nanoplatform for therapeutics is becoming increasingly important, notably with albumin-bound chemotherapeutics. Another emerging field is the fabrication of biopolymeric nanoparticles using albumin as a building block to achieve highly-tunable nonimmunogenic capsules or scaffolds that may be cheaply and reliably produced. The aim of this study was to characterize and optimize the desolvation process used for fabrication of albumin nanoparticles under ambient conditions, studying both glutaraldehyde (GT) and glucose (GLU) as crosslinking agents and the effect of various synthesis conditions including pH, electrolyte concentration, and rate of desolvation on particle size and stability.
