In the course of evolution of the invertebrate gravity receptor endogenous intracellular mode of the otoliths formation (Coelenterata, Ctenophora) is changed for endogenous extracellular mode (Mollusca, Arthropoda). The intracellular otolith is represented by cristalline concretions whereas extracellular one may consists of many separate crystallic otoconia or one large spherolith. As a rule in all cases qualitative mineral composition is similar. Calcium is the main component of the otolith in invertebrates (as vertebrates) though magnesium, sodium and potassium also take place in the otolith formation.

Background: Despite extensive studies of the Mesozoic-Cenozoic magmatic history of Svalbard, little has been done on the Paleozoic magmatism due to fewer available outcrops.

Methods: 2D seismic reflection data were used to study magmatic intrusions in the subsurface of eastern Svalbard.

Results: This work presents seismic evidence for west-dipping, Middle Devonian-Mississippian sills in eastern Spitsbergen, Svalbard.

Modular assembly of amines and diborons with photocatalysis enabled halogen atom transfer of organohalides for C(sp)-C(sp) bond formation.

In the past few years, the direct activation of organohalides by ligated boryl radicals has emerged as a potential synthetic tool for cross-coupling reactions. In most existing methods, ligated boryl radicals are accessed from NHC-boranes or amine-boranes. In this work, we report a new photocatalytic platform by modular assembly of readily available amines and diboron esters to access a library of ligated boryl radicals for reaction screening, thus enabling the cross-coupling of organohalides and alkenes including both activated and unactivated ones for C(sp)-C(sp) bond formation by using the assembly of DABCO A1 and BNepB1.

Hydrodynamic cavitation induced fabrication of soy protein isolate-polyphenol complexes: Structural and functional properties.

Curr Res Food Sci

January 2025

School of Biological and Chemical Engineering, Guangxi University of Science and Technology, Guangxi Key Laboratory of Green Processing of Sugar Resources, Key Laboratory for Processing of Sugar Resources of Guangxi Higher Education Institutes, Liuzhou, 545006, China.

The combination of polyphenols and protein can improve the functional characteristics of protein. How to effectively promote the binding of polyphenols to protein is still a difficult topic. In this study, hydrodynamic cavitation (HC) was used to induce the fabrication of complexes between soy protein isolate (SPI) and different polyphenols (tannic acid (TA), chlorogenic acid (CGA), ferulic acid (FA), caffeic acid (CA), and gallic acid (GA)).

Computational identification of novel natural inhibitors against triple mutant DNA gyrase A in fluoroquinolone-resistant Typhimurium.

Biochem Biophys Rep

March 2025

Department of Integrative Biology, School of Biosciences and Technology, Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT), Vellore, 632014, Tamil Nadu, India.

The rising resistance to fluoroquinolones in Typhimurium poses a significant global health challenge. This computational research addresses the pressing need for new therapeutic drugs by utilizing various computational tools to identify potential natural compounds that can inhibit the triple mutant DNA gyrase subunit A enzyme, which is crucial in fluoroquinolone resistance. Initially, the three-dimensional structure of the wild-type DNA gyrase A protein was modeled using homology modeling, and followed by mutagenesis to create the clinically relevant triple mutant (SER83PHE, ASP87GLY, ALA119SER) DNA gyrase A protein structure.
