Virtually the whole region of the mobile dispersed genetic element mdg1 including the direct repeats that frame mdg1 /1/ is transcribed. The end of the transcriptional unit is located within the direct repeat. Although the transcription of mdg1 is symmetric, one direction is transcribed preferentially and is a full-length transcript represented by approximately 29S poly(A)+RNA. Besides it, approximately 15S poly(A)+RNA is present in the cytoplasm of culture cells which corresponds to the 3'-part of 29S RNA and possibly to a small region near the 5'-end of the latter. The major fraction of mdg1 transcripts is present in the fraction of free cytoplasmic RNP particles while only 10-20% are recovered in polysomes. In this respect, mdg1 is similar to mdg3 and quite different from two single-copy genes transcripts of which are almost completely recovered in polysomes. The relationship between mobile dispersed genetic elements and endogeneous viral genomes is discussed.

Interfacial Water Orientation in Neutral Oxygen Catalysis for Reversible Ampere-scale Zinc-air Batteries.

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl

January 2025

Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, College of Materials Science and Technology, No. 169 Sheng Tai West Road, Jiangning District, Nanjing, Jiangsu, China, 211106, Nanjing, CHINA.

The neutral oxygen catalysis is an electrochemical reaction of the utmost importance in energy generation, storage application, and chemical synthesis. However, the restricted availability of protons poses a challenge to achieving kinetically favorable oxygen catalytic reactions. Here, we alter the interfacial water orientation by adjusting the Brønsted acidity at the catalyst surface, to break the proton transfer limitation of neutral oxygen electrocatalysis.

The present article deals with the modulation of oscillatory electroosmotic flow (EOF) and solute dispersion across a nanochannel filled with an electrolyte solution surrounded by a layer of a dielectric liquid. The dielectric permittivity of the liquid layer adjacent to supporting rigid walls is taken to be lower than that of the electrolyte solution. Besides, the aforesaid liquid layer may bear additional mobile charges, , free lipid molecules, charged surfactant molecules , which in turn lead to a nonzero charge along the liquid-liquid interface.

Background: Distinct classes of environmental contaminants - such as microplastics, volatile organic compounds, inorganic gases, hormones, pesticides/herbicides, and heavy metals - have been continuously released into the environment from different sources. Anthropogenic activities with unprecedented consequences have impacted soil, surface waters, and the atmosphere. In this scenario, developing sensing materials and analytical platforms for monitoring water and air quality is essential to supporting worldwide environmental control agencies.

Background: Isotopologues resulting from the labelling of molecules with deuterium have attracted interest due to the isotope effect observed in chemistry and biosciences. Isotope effect may also play out in noncovalent interactions and mechanisms leading to intermolecular recognition. In chromatography, differences in retention time between isotopologues, as well as between isotopomers have been observed resulting in two different elution sequences (isotope effects): the normal isotope effect when heavier isotopologues retain longer than lighter analogues, and the inverse isotope effect featuring the opposite elution order.
