Herein, β-branched carbonyl compounds were synthesised via the α-alkylation of ketones with secondary alcohols under "borrowing hydrogen" catalysis. A wide range of secondary alcohols, including various cyclic, acyclic, symmetrical, and unsymmetrical alcohols, have been successfully applied under the developed reaction conditions. A manganese(i) complex bearing a phosphine-free multifunctional ligand catalysed the reaction and produced water as the sole byproduct.

We created a novel laboratory experience where undergraduate students explore the techniques used to study protein misfolding, unfolding, and aggregation. Despite the importance of protein misfolding and aggregation diseases, protein unfolding is not typically explored in undergraduate biochemistry laboratory classes. Yeast alcohol dehydrogenase (YADH) is used in the undergraduate biochemistry laboratory course at Miami University as the model system to explore protein overexpression and purification, bioinformatics, and enzyme characterization.

Matcha is a very popular tea food around the world, being widely used in the food, beverage, health food, and cosmetic industries, among others. At present, matcha shade covering methods, matcha superfine powder processing technology, and digital evaluations of matcha flavor quality are receiving research attention. However, research on the differences in flavor and quality characteristics of matcha from the same tea tree variety from different typical regions in China is relatively weak and urgently required.

In recent years, plasma medicine has developed rapidly as a new interdisciplinary discipline. However, the key mechanisms of interactions between cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) and biological tissue are still in the exploration stage. In this study, by introducing the reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, the capsid protein (CA) molecule of HIV was selected as the model to investigate the reaction process upon impact by reactive oxygen species (ROS) from CAP and protein molecules at the atomic level.

Amino groups are abundant in both natural and synthetic molecules, offering highly accessible sites for modifying native biorelevant molecules. Despite significant progress with more reactive thiol groups, methods for connecting two amino groups with reversible linkers for bioconjugation applications remain elusive. Herein, we report the use of oxidative decarboxylative condensation of glyoxylic acid to crosslink two alkyl amines via a compact formamidine linkage, applicable in both intra- and intermolecular contexts.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and safety of secondary surgical intervention of combined phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) with alcohol delamination and peripheral anterior stromal puncture (ASP) for refractory recurrent corneal erosion (RCE).

Methods: This retrospective comparative study defined refractory RCE as cases persisting for more than 6 months after primary surgical intervention. A total of 115 eyes from 115 patients with refractory RCE, treated either with (n = 92) or without (n = 23) the secondary surgical treatment combining PTK and ASP between January 2021 and January 2023, were included.
