Echinomycin, daunomycin, ethidium bromide, nogalamycin, chromomycin, mithramycin, and olivomycin inhibit RNA synthesis by RNA polymerase by interacting with the DNA template. Chromomycin and olivomycin form complexes with DNA, preferably in the helical form, but not with RNA. These complexes require guanine in DNA and the addition of a stoichiometric amount of bivalent cation. None of the other antibiotics requires the presence of any single base in the template for its action.

CD46 Is a Protein Receptor for Human Adenovirus Type 64.

Department of Microbiology, University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle, WA 98109, USA.
Certain species D human adenoviruses (HAdV-D19, -D37, and -D64) are causative agents of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis. HAdV-D37 has previously been shown to bind CD46 (membrane cofactor protein) and sialic acid as adhesion receptors. HAdV-D64 is genetically highly similar to HAdV-D37, with an identical fiber protein sequence, but differs substantially in its penton base and hexon proteins, two other major capsid components, due to genetic recombination.

: This study evaluated how the relative proportion of chitosan (CS) to the polyanions alginate (ALG) and hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose phthalate (HP) affects the colloidal properties of mesalazine (MSZ) nanosuspensions as a strategy to produce particles with specific characteristics. : Nanosuspensions were prepared using a bottom-up approach based on acid-base reactions and were modified with CS in a binary mixture with ALG or a ternary mixture with ALG and HP. The particle size, polydispersity index (PDI), zeta potential, morphology, and drug association efficiency were analyzed.

Bacteria of the genus are the most studied microorganisms that biodegrade persistent perfluoroorganic pollutants, and the research of their application for the remediation of environmental sites using biotechnological approaches remains relevant. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of a known destructor of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid from the genus to accelerate and enhance the destruction of long-chain perfluorocarboxylic acids (PFCAs), specifically perfluorooctanoic acid and perfluorononanoic acid, in water and soil in association with the strain . 5(3), which has previously confirmed genetic potential for the degrading of PFCAs.

(1) Background: N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N'-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine-quinone (6PPDQ), as a newly discovered environmental toxin, has been found more frequently in our living conditions. The literature reports that damage to the reproductive and cardiovascular system is associated with exposure to 6PPDQ. However, the relationship between 6PPDQ and cancer still requires more investigation.
