Published: December 2022

The potential of carbon supported Mo and W carbides to replace Pt is shown for the hydrogenation of cinnamaldehyde. Although the carbide catalysts are 4-6 times less active, both the carbides and Pt are selective towards CC hydrogenation. Unlike Pt, the carbides additionally form β-methylstyrene.

Neural tube defects (NTDs) are malformations of the central nervous system that represent the second most common cause of congenital morbidity and mortality, following cardiovascular abnormalities. Maternal nutrition, particularly folic acid, a B vitamin, is crucial in the etiology of NTDs. FA plays a key role in DNA methylation, synthesis, and repair, acting as a cofactor in one-carbon transfer reactions essential for neural tube development.

The trans-translation system, mediated by transfer-messenger RNA (tmRNA, encoded by the gene) and its partner protein SmpB, helps to release ribosomes stalled on defective mRNA and targets incomplete protein products for hydrolysis. Knocking out the and genes in various pathogens leads to different phenotypic changes, indicating that they have both cooperative and independent functionalities. This study aimed to clarify the functional relationships between tmRNA and SmpB in a pathogen that poses threats in aquaculture and human health.
