Microwave-assisted YBa2Cu3O7 precursors : a fast and reliable method towards chemical precursors for superconducting films [PDF]
Highly stable, pure, and anhydrous organometallic YBa2Cu3O7- (YBCO) precursor solutions were prepared by dissolving commercial YBCO powder in acetone by trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA) or a mixture of TFAA with propionic acid for low fluorine precursors.

Molecular bases of circadian magnesium rhythms across eukaryotes
Circadian rhythms in intracellular [Mg2+] exist across eukaryotic kingdoms. Central roles for Mg2+ in metabolism suggest that Mg2+ rhythms could regulate daily cellular energy and metabolism. In this Perspective paper, we propose that ancestral prokaryotic transport proteins could be responsible for mediating Mg2+ rhythms and posit a feedback model ...

Production processes of fermented organic acids targeted around membrane operations: design of the concentration step by conventional electrodialysis [PDF]
Organic acids are increasingly used for various industrial applications. Their production is mainly achieved by fermentation. Precipitation or extraction stages, which generate big amount of effluents, are then traditionally used to get the acid in a ...

Crosstalk between the ribosome quality control‐associated E3 ubiquitin ligases LTN1 and RNF10
Loss of the E3 ligase LTN1, the ubiquitin‐like modifier UFM1, or the deubiquitinating enzyme UFSP2 disrupts endoplasmic reticulum–ribosome quality control (ER‐RQC), a pathway that removes stalled ribosomes and faulty proteins. This disruption may trigger a compensatory response to ER‐RQC defects, including increased expression of the E3 ligase RNF10 ...

Peptide‐based ligand antagonists block a Vibrio cholerae adhesin
The structure of a peptide‐binding domain of the Vibrio cholerae adhesin FrhA was solved by X‐ray crystallography, revealing how the inhibitory peptide AGYTD binds tightly at its Ca2+‐coordinated pocket. Structure‐guided design incorporating D‐amino acids enhanced binding affinity, providing a foundation for developing anti‐adhesion therapeutics ...

Dissolution kinetics of hemimorphite in trichloroacetic acid solutions
In this study, the dissolution kinetics of hemimorphite in the presence of the organic reagent, trichloroacetic acid (TCAA), was investigated. Experimental variables such as reaction temperature (293–323 K), TCAA concentration (0.084–0.184 mol/dm3 ...

Deterioration of stone and concrete exposed to bird excreta – examination of the role of glyoxylic acid [PDF]
The deterioration of buildings as a result of the deposition of bird excreta is a phenomenon which has been well-documented. A number of mechanisms have been proposed as playing a role in deterioration, some of which involve biological processes.

This perspective highlights emerging insights into how the circadian transcription factor CLOCK:BMAL1 regulates chromatin architecture, cooperates with other transcription factors, and coordinates enhancer dynamics. We propose an updated framework for how circadian transcription factors operate within dynamic and multifactorial chromatin landscapes ...
