Uptake of radiolabelled chlorhexidine gluconate (14C-CHG) to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Candida albicans and C. glabrata was very rapid and near maximal within 30 s. The organism, S. cerevisiae, most sensitive to the lethal action of chlorhexidine, took up significantly more biocide than the other organisms. Cells from cultures of different ages took up different amounts of 14C-CHG.

To evaluate the long-term efficacy and anamnestic response of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell-derived hepatitis B vaccine (CHO-HepB) after 18-20 years, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in seven communities in Zhengding County at the end of 2017. The birth cohort 1997-1999 vaccinated primarily with three doses of CHO-HepB were enrolled in the survey. The HBV serological markers were quantified using the Chemiluminescence method.

Many protein complexes are highly dynamic in cells; thus, characterizing their conformational changes in cells is crucial for unraveling their functions. Here, using cryo-electron microscopy, 451,700 ribosome particles from Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell lamellae were obtained to solve the 60S region to 2.9-Å resolution by in situ single-particle analysis.

Phosphatidic acid phosphatase, a conserved eukaryotic enzyme that catalyzes the Mg-dependent dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid to produce diacylglycerol, has emerged as a vital regulator of lipid homeostasis. By controlling the balance of phosphatidic acid and diacylglycerol, the enzyme governs the use of the lipids for synthesis of the storage lipid triacylglycerol and the membrane phospholipids needed for cell growth. The mutational, biochemical, and cellular analyses of yeast phosphatidic acid phosphatase have provided insights into the structural determinants of enzyme function with the understanding of its regulation by phosphorylation and dephosphorylation.

High sugar intake has become a global health concern due to its association with various diseases. Mogroside V (MG-V), a zero-calorie sweetener with multiple medical properties, is emerging as a promising sugar substitute. However, its application is hindered by low natural abundance and the inefficiency of conventional plant extraction methods.
