The fragmentation mechanism of D-glucose was investigated in detail by two different fragmentation techniques, namely, collision-induced dissociation (CID) and infrared multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) using all six C-labeled isotopomers and H-labeled isotopomers. For both CID and IRMPD energy-resolved measurements were carried out. Individual fragmentation pathways were studied at MS and MS levels. Additionally, we have developed an HPLC-tandem MS method to separate the anomers of D-glucose using a HILIC column and investigated their fragmentation patterns individually. We propose a complete fragmentation landscape of D-glucose, demonstrating that a rather simple multifunctional molecule displays extreme complexity in gas phase dissociation, following multiple parallel fragmentation routes yielding a total of 23 distinct fragment ions. The results allowed a detailed formulation of the complex fragmentation mechanism of D-glucose. The results have immediate consequences for the full structure analysis of complex carbohydrates.

Background: Increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in the pathological process of dry eye disease. Our previous results suggested that norepinephrine (NE) has a protective effect on dry eye.
Purpose: This study explored the potential therapeutic role and underlying mechanisms of NE in benzalkonium chloride (BAC)-induced dry eye disease.

Unlabelled: The scientific and practical interest in studying the biomechanical characteristics of the lens capsule, on the one hand, is associated with its anatomical significance in modern microinvasive phaco surgery, and on the other hand, with investigation of the mechanisms of lens curvature changes during accommodation. Selective study of the biomechanical properties of the lens capsule aims to identify characteristics of various regions and surfaces of the capsule.
Purpose: This study is a comparative analysis of age-related changes in the biomechanical properties of the anterior (AC) and posterior (PC) lens capsules in humans.

Background: Plant diseases caused by plant pathogens pose a great threat to biodiversity and food security, and the problem of drug resistance caused by traditional antibiotics and fungicides is becoming more and more serious. It is urgent to develop new antibacterial molecules with low toxicity and high efficiency. Marinoquinoline A is an alkaloid isolated from marine actinomycetes and has a variety of pharmacological activities.

Riemerella anatipestifer (R. anatipestifer, RA) is the etiological agent of duck serositis, an acute multisystemic disease in ducks that is globally distributed and causes serious economic losses in the duck industry. Despite exhibiting multidrug resistance, the transmission mechanism of its antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) remains incompletely identified.

Ribonuclease L is an endonuclease that is activated as part of the dsRNA-driven innate immune response. Active RNase L cleaves pathogenic RNAs as a way to eliminate infections. However, there are additional and unexpected ways that RNase L causes changes in the host that promote an immune response and contribute to its role in host defense.
