The ability to engineer bacterial genomes in an efficient way is crucial for many bio-related technologies. Single-stranded (ss) DNA recombineering technology allows to introduce mutations within bacterial genomes in a very simple and straightforward way. This technology was initially developed for E. coli but was later extended to other organisms of interest, including the environmentally and metabolically versatile Pseudomonas putida. The technology is based on three pillars: (1) adoption of a phage recombinase that works effectively in the target strain, (2) ease of introduction of short ssDNA oligonucleotide that carries the mutation into the bacterial cells at stake and (3) momentary suppression of the endogenous mismatch repair (MMR) through transient expression of a dominant negative mutL allele. In this way, the recombinase protects the ssDNA and stimulates recombination, while MutL temporarily inhibits the endogenous MMR system, thereby allowing the introduction of virtually any possible type of genomic edits. In this chapter, a protocol is detailed for easily performing recombineering experiments aimed at entering single and multiple changes in the chromosome of P. putida. This was made by implementing the workflow named High-Efficiency Multi-site genomic Editing (HEMSE), which delivers simultaneous mutations with a simple and effective protocol.

With the continuous pursuing on the improvement of catalytic activity, a catalyst performed exceeding catalytic volcano plots is desired, while it is impeded by the adsorption-energy scaling relations of reaction intermediates. Numerous efforts have been focused on optimizing the initial and final intermediates to circumvent the scaling relations for an improved performance. For a step forward, simultaneously optimizing all intermediates is essential to explore the theoretical maximum of catalytic activity.

Uniform PtCoRuRhFe high-entropy alloy nanoflowers (HEANFs) were fabricated by a simple wet-chemical co-reduction method in oleylamine for quantitative colorimetric determination of captopril (CAP) based on multi-site synergistic signal amplification. Specifically, the peroxidase mimetic activity of the PtCoRuRhFe HEANFs was examined through catalysis of 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) oxidation, whose catalytic mechanism was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The role of the ·O was figured out during the catalytic procedure.

Electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide (HO) via the two-electron oxygen reduction reaction (2e-ORR) provides an alternative method to the energy-intensive anthraquinone method. Metal macrocycles with precise coordination are widely used for 2e-ORR electrocatalysis, but they have to be commonly loaded on conductive substrates, thus exposing a large number of 2e-ORR-inactive sites that result in poor HO production rate and efficiency. Herein, guided by first-principle predictions, a substrate-free and two-dimensional conductive metal-organic framework (Ni-TCPP(Co)), composed of CoN sites in porphine(Co) centers and NiO nodes, is designed as a multi-site catalyst for HO electrosynthesis.

Background: Spinal degeneration and vertebral compression fractures are common among the elderly that adversely affect their mobility, quality of life, lung function, and mortality. Assessment of vertebral fractures in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is important due to the high prevalence of osteoporosis and associated vertebral fractures in COPD.
Purpose: We present new automated methods for (1) segmentation and labelling of individual vertebrae in chest computed tomography (CT) images using deep learning (DL), multi-parametric freeze-and-grow (FG) algorithm, and separation of apparently fused vertebrae using intensity autocorrelation and (2) vertebral deformity fracture detection using computed vertebral height features and parametric computational modelling of an established protocol outlined for trained human experts.

Strong substrate affinity and high catalytic efficiency are persistently pursued to generate high-performance nanozymes. Herein, with unique surface atomic configurations and distinct d-orbital coupling features of different metal components, a class of highly efficient MnFeCoNiCu transition metal high-entropy nanozymes (HEzymes) is prepared for the first time. Density functional theory calculations demonstrate that improved d-orbital coupling between different metals increases the electron density near the Fermi energy level (E ) and shifts the position of the overall d-band center with respect to E , thereby boosting the efficiency of site-to-site electron transfer while also enhancing the adsorption of oxygen intermediates during catalysis.
