Both propranolol and the electron donors ascorbate plus phenazine methosulfate increase the K+-permeability of the red blood cell membrane. The present investigation examined whether these effects were additive. Contrary to expectations, propranolol added after electron donors sharply inhibited the K+ (86Rb) efflux induced by such donors, without forming new K4 channels analogous to those induced by propranolol in intact red blood cells. The inhibitory effect of propranolol may be due to generalized disturbances of membrane structures necessary for the functioning of the K+ channels organized in the presence of reducing agents. In contrast, the electron donors added after propranolol caused a further stimulation of the 86Rb loss from the propranolol-treated red cells. The combined effect of these drugs therefore depends on the order of their addition. The possible mechanism of their interaction is briefly discussed.

Integrating mixed electron donor (D) and electron acceptor (A) ligands into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is an effective yet relatively unexplored approach for improving the anode performance of hybrid lithium-ion capacitors (HLICs). In this study, using an electron donor 2,6-bis(4'-pyridyl)tetrathiafulvalene and an electron acceptor ,'-bis(5-isophthalic acid) naphthalene diimide as ligands, a new Zn-TTF/NDI MOF () is constructed as a pseudocapacitive anode of HLICs. Crystallographic characterization revealed that MOF adopts a two-dimensional (2D) coordination network.

Thermodynamic cards of three classic NADH models (XH), namely 1-benzyl-1,4-dihydronicotinamide (BNAH), Hantzsch ester (HEH), and 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrH), as well as their photoexcited states (XH*: BNAH*, HEH*, AcrH*) releasing hydrides in nine elementary steps in acetonitrile are established. According to these thermodynamic cards, the thermodynamic reducing abilities of XH* are remarkably enhanced upon photoexcitation, rendering them thermodynamically highly potent electron, hydrogen atom, and hydride donors. The application of these thermodynamic cards to imine reduction is demonstrated in detail, revealing that photoexcitation enables XH* to act as better hydride donors, transforming the hydride transfer process from thermodynamically unfeasible to feasible.

Background: Multiple acyl-coenzyme A (CoA) dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from mutations in the ETFDH gene. It is characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical symptoms, of which polycystic kidney disease is a specific phenotype of early-onset MADD. This study aims to broaden the genetic mutation spectrum of ETFDH gene.

Energy loss (Eloss) between optical energy gap (Eg) and open-circuit voltage (eVoc) sets efficiency upper limits for organic solar cells (OSCs). Nevertheless, further breaking the limit of Eloss in OSCs is challenging, especially via structurally simple materials in binary OSCs. Herein, a structurally simple non-halogenated polymer donor, namely PBDCT, is developed for realizing high-efficiency OSCs with record-breaking Eloss.
