In this study, the molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) that will be formed by the sulfamethoxazole (SMX) molecule and methacrylic acid (MAA) molecule were examined theoretically. The most stable interaction region between the two molecules was determined in solvent environments (ethanol, acetonitrile, and dimethylsulfoxide), and monomer ratios (SMX/MAA; 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3) were examined to form the most stable geometry. The number and length of the hydrogen bonds formed between the template molecule and the functional monomer and the interaction between the atoms were determined. Geometry optimizations of the molecules were calculated by the DFT method at the M06-2X/ccpVTZ level, and single-point energy calculations were carried out at the B2PLYP-D3/ccpVDZ level. In addition to the theoretical studies, the experimental Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectrum of the complex formed between SMX and MAA was compared with the theoretical FTIR spectrum. As a result of the studies, the monomer ratio and solvent environment in which the stable complex was formed were determined in the MIP studies carried out with the SMX template molecule and MAA monomer. The most stable template molecule-monomer ratio of the complex between SMX and MAA was determined to be 1:3, and the solvent medium in which the most stable geometry was formed was acetonitrile.

Ferroptosis is a form of iron-dependent programmed cell death, which is distinct from apoptosis, necrosis, and autophagy. Mitochondria play a critical role in initiating and amplifying ferroptosis in cancer cells. Voltage-Dependent Anion Channel 1 (VDAC1) embedded in the mitochondrial outer membrane, exerts roles in regulation of ferroptosis.

Objective: Peri-implant diseases (peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis) are inflammatory conditions that affect the peri-implant tissues and are induced by microbial biofilms (dental plaque) formed around the implant. Removal of biofilm is the fundamental step in managing peri-implant diseases. Interdental cleaning aids such as interdental brush, unitufted brush, or oral irrigation along with regular toothbrushing are recommended for effective plaque control around implants.

The Rbfox proteins regulate alternative pre-mRNA splicing by binding to the RNA element GCAUG. In the nucleus, most of Rbfox is bound to the large assembly of splicing regulators (LASR), a complex of RNA-binding proteins that recognize additional RNA motifs. However, it remains unclear how the different subunits of the Rbfox/LASR complex act together to bind RNA and regulate splicing.

Observation of Ɛ-AlKeggin-Oligonucleotide Complexes in Analytical Sample Solutions.

J Pharm Sci

January 2025

Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., 2855 Gazelle Ct., Carlsbad, CA 92010. Electronic address:

Complexes formed between aluminum cluster molecules that adopt a Ɛ-Al-Keggin structure and antisense oligonucleotides were observed as new impurity peaks during drug product stability testing. The Ɛ-Al-Keggin molecules were determined to be artifacts of the analysis, originating from contact between antisense oligonucleotide drug product solution and aluminum weigh boats used to prepare the analytical sample solutions The presence of the Ɛ-Al-Keggin molecules was confirmed through synthesis of the Keggin molecule through an established route and subsequent spiking studies. Binding affinity studies revealed that the Ɛ-Al-Keggin bound to oligonucleotide sequences of various lengths (10 to 20 bases) and base compositions, though there is some evidence for preferential binding to 5-methylcytosine-containing sequences.

Electronic address:

This paper explores the intersections of constructal thermodynamics, and its semantic ontology within the context of autopoetic, digital and computational design in protocell inspired numerical architectural and urban narratives that are examined here as open systems. Constructal law is the thermodynamic theory based on the analysis of fluxes across the border of an open system. Protocells, as dynamic and adaptive open finite size systems, serve in this paper as a compelling metaphor and design model for responsive and sustainable manmade architectural and urban environments.
