The biosynthetic gene cluster governing the production of antibacterial julichromes was identified from marine gastropod mollusk-associated SCSIO 054. Post-PKS assembly/tailoring enzymes JuiL, JuiM, JuiI, and JuiN represent key assembly enzymes. JuiL serves as a ketoreductase. JuiM is an acetyltransferase. JuiI carries out an intriguing biaryl coupling of two julichrome Q units (immediate JuiL, JuiM product) to afford julichrome Q. JuiN carries out tailoring steps on julichrome Q, transforming Q into Q.

Introduction: This study analyzed the impact of various overload conditions on sprint performance compared to free sprinting, aiming to identify the loading scenarios that most closely replicate the mechanics of unresisted sprints across the full acceleration spectrum. While velocity-based training methods have gained popularity, their applicability is limited to the plateau phase of sprinting.

Methods: To address this limitation, we employed cluster analysis to identify scenarios that best replicate the mechanical characteristics of free sprinting across various overload conditions.

Data to Care (D2C) strategies - using routine data to facilitate identification and linkage back to care of people living with HIV who are not in care - have shown promise in high-income settings but received little attention in lower resourced or vertical HIV transmission prevention (VTP) contexts. In this proof-of-concept study, we monitored existing linked electronic medical records in near real-time to identify key gaps in postpartum VTP steps among 336 mothers living with HIV and their infants in Cape Town, South Africa (recruited March 2021 - April 2022). We attempted to confirm observed gaps through source data systems and telephonic tracing, and facilitated re-engagement in care where needed.

The Role of Nonequilibrium Solvent Effects in Enhancing Direct CO Capture at the Air-Aqueous Amino Acid Interface.

J Am Chem Soc

Chemical Sciences Division, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Oak Ridge, Tennessee 37830, United States.

Direct air capture (DAC) technologies are limited by the poor understanding of the dynamic role of interfaces in modulating the chemisorption of CO from air into solutions. While the reactivity of aqueous amine-based solvents in the bulk environment is strongly inhibited by nonequilibrium solvent effects, promoting DAC at interfaces posits a possibility to reduce the coupling with the solvent and significantly accelerate DAC. Building on an experimentally proven concept to bring an anionic glycine absorbent to the interface through ion-pairing interactions with a positively charged surfactant, we establish the fundamental time scales for key elementary steps involved in DAC with rate theory and enhanced-sampling molecular dynamics simulations.

Development of a rehabilitation programme for young adult cancer survivors using co-production.

Res Involv Engagem

December 2024

User Perspectives and Community-based Interventions, Department of Public Health, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark.

Background: Young adult cancer survivors, defined as individuals aged 18-39 who have completed primary curative treatment, face numerous age-specific biopsychosocial late effects that impact health-related quality of life negatively. Rehabilitation can enhance participation in life roles, work, leisure activities and health-related quality of life. However, there is a lack of age-specific cancer rehabilitation for this population, leaving many young adults with diminished self-efficacy in managing their challenges, resulting in unmet needs.

Objectives: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, identified as an ESKAPE pathogen, contributes to severe clinical diseases worldwide and despite its prevalence an effective vaccine or treatment remains elusive. Numerous computational methods are being employed to target hypothetical proteins (HPs). Presently, no studies have predicted multi-epitope vaccines for these HPs.
