Traveling across Life Sciences with Acetophenone-A Simple Ketone That Has Special Multipurpose Missions.

Molecules

January 2023

Laboratorio de Química Orgánica y Biomolecular, Escuela de Química, Universidad Industrial de Santander, Cl. 9 # Cra 27, A.A., Bucaramanga 680006, Colombia.

Each metabolite, regardless of its molecular simplicity or complexity, has a mission or function in the organism biosynthesizing it. In this review, the biological, allelochemical, and chemical properties of acetophenone, as a metabolite involved in multiple interactions with various (mi-cro)organisms, are discussed. Further, the details of its biogenesis and chemical synthesis are provided, and the possibility of its application in different areas of life sciences, i.

Co-limitation towards lower latitudes shapes global forest diversity gradients.

Nat Ecol Evol

October 2022

Centre for Invasion Biology, Department of Mathematical Sciences, Stellenbosch University, Matieland, South Africa.

Article Synopsis
  • The latitudinal diversity gradient (LDG) reflects a global trend showing that species richness typically increases towards the tropics, but understanding its causes has been challenging due to insufficient data.
  • A new high-resolution map of local tree species richness was created using extensive global forest inventory data and local biophysical factors, analyzing around 1.3 million sample plots.
  • Findings indicate that annual mean temperature is a significant predictor of tree species richness, aligning with the metabolic theory of biodiversity, but additional local factors also play a crucial role, especially in tropical regions.

We engineered a machine learning approach, MSHub, to enable auto-deconvolution of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) data. We then designed workflows to enable the community to store, process, share, annotate, compare and perform molecular networking of GC-MS data within the Global Natural Product Social (GNPS) Molecular Networking analysis platform. MSHub/GNPS performs auto-deconvolution of compound fragmentation patterns via unsupervised non-negative matrix factorization and quantifies the reproducibility of fragmentation patterns across samples.
