How dynamic surface restructuring impacts intra-particle catalytic cooperativity.

Recent experiments indicated that nanoparticles (NPs) might efficiently catalyze multiple chemical reactions, frequently exhibiting new phenomena. One of those surprising observations is intra-particle catalytic cooperativity, when the reactions at one active site can stimulate the reactions at spatially distant sites. Theoretical explanations of these phenomena have been presented, pointing out the important role of charged hole dynamics.

Optimized chemical labeling method for isolation of 8-oxoG-modified RNA, ChLoRox-Seq, identifies mRNAs enriched in oxidation and transcriptome-wide distribution biases of oxidation events post environmental stress.

Bulk increases in nucleobase oxidation, most commonly manifesting as the guanine (G) nucleobase modification 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanine (8-oxoG), have been linked to several disease pathologies. Elucidating the effects of RNA oxidation on cellular homoeostasis is limited by a lack of effective tools for detecting specific regions modified with 8-oxoG. Building on a previously published method for studying 8-oxoG in DNA, we developed ChLoRox-Seq, which works by covalently functionalizing 8-oxoG sites in RNA with biotin.

Automatic Feature Selection for Atom-Centered Neural Network Potentials Using a Gradient Boosting Decision Algorithm.

Atom-centered neural network (ANN) potentials have shown high accuracy and computational efficiency in modeling atomic systems.

Inappropriate selection of ACSFs can lead to poor-quality ANN potentials.

Effectiveness of the injectable hyaluronic acid-based microparticles loaded with cannabidiol on rat sciatic nerve injury model.

We have developed an innovative peripheral nerve tissue repair approach by designing biomimetic microparticles loaded with cannabidiol (CBD) using horseradish peroxidase-mediated crosslinking within a microfluidic device. This method utilizes a water-in-oil emulsion system where a mixture of phenol-substituted hyaluronic acid (HAPh), CBD, and laccase is channeled into oil flow, forming hydrogel microparticles. The physical properties, such as their swelling rate, mechanical strength, and the sustained release of CBD, emphasize their potential in tissue engineering and drug delivery applications.

CsrA controls ToxR levels by increasing the stability and translation of mRNA.

Intestinal colonization and virulence factor production in response to environmental cues is mediated through several regulatory factors in , including the highly conserved RNA-binding global regulatory protein CsrA. We have shown previously that CsrA increases synthesis of the virulence-associated transcription factor ToxR in response to specific amino acids (NRES) and is required for the virulence of in the infant mouse model of cholera. In this study, we mapped the 5' untranslated region (5' UTR) of and showed that CsrA can bind directly to an RNA sequence encompassing the 5' UTR, indicating that the regulation of ToxR levels by CsrA is direct.

Exploring the rhodanine universe: Design and synthesis of fluorescent rhodanine-based derivatives as anti-fibrillar and anti-oligomer agents against α-synuclein and 2N4R tau.

Tau and α-synuclein (α-syn) are prone-to-aggregate proteins that can be responsible for pathological lesions found in the brains of Alzheimer's disease (AD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), and Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. The early-stage oligomers and protofibrils of tau are believed to be strongly linked to human cognitive impairment while the toxic α-syn oligomers are associated with behavioral motor deficits. Therefore, concurrent targeting of both proteinaceous aggregates and oligomers are very challenging.
