Studies on the distribution of ATP in microdissected segments of the rat brain indicate that the nucleotide is concentrated in gray matter, and especially in the thalamus, hippocampus, entorhinal cortex and sensorimotor cortex. These distribution studies in conjunction with previous neuropharmacological studies, support the concept that adenine nucleotides may function as intercellular mediators in various regions of the brain.

Introduction: The infarcted heart is energetically compromised exhibiting a deficient production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and the ensuing impaired contractile function. Short-term blockade of the protein S100A9 improves cardiac performance in mice after myocardial infarction (MI). The implications upon ATP production during this process are not known.

Nucleosome repositioning is essential for establishing nucleosome-depleted regions (NDRs) to initiate transcription. This process has been extensively studied using structural, biochemical, and single-molecule approaches, which require homogenously positioned nucleosomes. This is often achieved using the Widom 601 sequence, a highly efficient nucleosome positioning element (NPE) selected for its unusually strong binding to the H3-H4 histone tetramer.

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major health concern, which can be the sign of a latent mitochondrial disease. However, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) contribution is largely unexplored in SCD at population level. Recently, mtDNA variants have been associated with congenital cardiopathy and higher risk of ischemic heart disease, suggesting them as potential risk factors also in SCD.

Green synthesis of water-compatible layer-by-layer assembled sandwich bread-like molecularly imprinted polymers for selective recognition of baicalin from Scutellariae Radix.

Electronic address:

Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are typically synthesized in organic solvents, leading to poor compatibility with water, weak affinity and selectivity for target molecules in aqueous media. To address these challenges, a green and sustainable synthesis of sandwich bread-like ATP@MIP was conducted using polyethylenimide (PEI) and deep eutectic solvent (DES) as hydrophilic bi-functional monomers via layer-by-layer self-assembly on the attapulgite (ATP) carrier. The new ATP@MIP can provide a higher density of imprinting sites with more orderly and uniform distribution due to inhibiting the competitive polymerization between PEI and DES, thereby significantly enhancing recognition ability.
