1. The mechanism of interaction of CP with O2- radicals in chemical and enzymatic systems of superoxide radical generation as well as in the pulse radiolysis technique was studied. 2. It is found that CP does not exert any kinetic influence on the decomposition of superoxide radical and, unlike SOD, cannot catalyze the reaction of disproportionation of these radicals in systems with chemical and enzymatic generation of O2-. 3. The data obtained confirm the suggestion that CP interacts with precursors of O2- radicals. 4. The irradiation of CP does not change its inhibiting activity in the reaction of the formation of superoxide radicals in systems with enzymatic O2- generation, but decreases its oxidase activity. 5. The results obtained demonstrated that the increase in the radiation dose resulted in the decrease of the inhibiting activity of SOD, whereas the activity of CP did not change.

Characterization and formation of the biomineral aragonite structures of the Noah's Ark shell ( L.,1758) were studied from structural, morphogenetic, and biochemical points of view. Structural and morphological features were examined using X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy, while thermal properties were determined by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses.

Mechanisms for DNA Interplay in Eukaryotic Transcription Factors.

Annu Rev Biophys

January 2025

1CREST Center for Cellular and Biomolecular Machines, University of California, Merced, California, USA; email:

Like their prokaryotic counterparts, eukaryotic transcription factors must recognize specific DNA sites, search for them efficiently, and bind to them to help recruit or block the transcription machinery. For eukaryotic factors, however, the genetic signals are extremely complex and scattered over vast, multichromosome genomes, while the DNA interplay occurs in a varying landscape defined by chromatin remodeling events and epigenetic modifications. Eukaryotic factors are rich in intrinsically disordered regions and are also distinct in their recognition of short DNA motifs and utilization of open DNA interaction interfaces as ways to gain access to DNA on nucleosomes.

Cognitive Impairments in Viral Hepatitis Patients: Causes, Manifestations, and Impact on Quality of Life.

Rambam Maimonides Med J

January 2025

Department of Neurosurgery, South Kazakhstan Medical Academy, Shymkent, Republic of Kazakhstan.

Viral hepatitis, primarily caused by hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus, is widely recognized for its impact on liver function, but emerging evidence suggests it also affects cognitive function. This review explores the causes, manifestations, and impact of cognitive impairments in patients with viral hepatitis, to better understand this often-overlooked aspect of the disease. A literature review was conducted, focusing on studies published in PubMed up to August 2024.

Purpose: This study investigated the influence of vowel quality on loudness perception and stress judgment in Mongolian, an agglutinative language with free word stress. We aimed to explore the effects of intrinsic vowel features, presentation order, and intensity conditions on loudness perception and stress assignment.

Method: Eight Mongolian short vowel phonemes (/ɐ/, /ə/, /i/, /ɪ/, /ɔ/, /o/, /ʊ/, and /u/) were recorded by a native Mongolian speaker of the Urad subdialect (the Chahar dialect group) in Inner Mongolia.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) driven by the mutation presents a formidable health challenge because of limited treatment options. MRTX1133 is a highly selective and first-in-class KRAS-G12D inhibitor under clinical development. Here, we report that the advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor (AGER) plays a key role in mediating MRTX1133 resistance in PDAC cells.
