Electrocatalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) to 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) is significant for the sustainable production of value-added chemicals. Active sites of catalysts could enhance the activity and selectivity of the HMF oxidation reaction (HMFOR), but the self-healing ability of active sites has been commonly ignored. In this work, Co(OH)/Ni-MOF was successfully fabricated for efficient oxidation of HMF to FDCA under mild conditions. Electrochemical and cyclic stability experiments demonstrated the high self-healing properties of the dual active sites (Co/Ni). So, the retention rate of FDCA yield can still reach 98.5%, even after 90 days. HMFOR was further coupled with 4-nitrophenol hydrogenation, which promotes the yield and Faradaic efficiency of FDCA to about 100%. Therefore, this study explores the self-healing properties of species and provides new insights for designing efficient catalysts.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the activated core kinases involved in the DNA damage responses (DDR) during ferroptosis of retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells in vitro and their regulatory effects on ferroptosis.
Methods: Ferroptosis was induced by erastin in induced RPE (iRPE) cells derived from human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs), hUCMSCs, and induced pluripotent stem cell-derived RPE (iPSC-RPE) cells. CCK8 was employed to measure the cell viability.

The sulfosugar sulfoquinovose (SQ) is catabolized through the sulfoglycolytic Entner-Doudoroff pathway, beginning with the oxidation of SQ to sulfogluconolactone by SQ dehydrogenase. We present a comprehensive structural and kinetic characterization of Pseudomonas putida SQ dehydrogenase (PpSQDH). PpSQDH is a tetrameric enzyme belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily with a strong preference for NAD+ over NADP+.

Neurofibromin (NF1), a Ras GTPase-activating protein (GAP), catalyzes Ras-mediated GTP hydrolysis and thereby negatively regulates the Ras/MAPK pathway. NF1 mutations can cause neurofibromatosis type 1 manifesting tumors, and neurodevelopmental disorders. Exactly how the missense mutations in the GAP-related domain of NF1 (NF1) allosterically impact NF1 GAP to promote these distinct pathologies is unclear.

The ability to finely tune the nuclearity of active metal sites is critical for designing highly selective catalysts, especially for hydrogenation processes. In this work, we developed a novel PdCu catalyst with an ordered body-centered cubic (BCC) structure, enabling precise control over Pd nuclearity to optimize selectivity. Using a facile polyol synthesis method, we modulated the Pd coordination environment, reducing the Pd-Pd coordination number from 3 (disordered face-centered cubic, FCC) to 0 (ordered BCC), thereby achieving full isolation of Pd by the surrounding Cu atoms.
