Can Ammonium Tartrate Replace Alanine in EPR Radiation Dosimetry?
EPR, which is characterized by the non-destructive evaluation of radiation-induced radicals, is one of the most recent and accurate techniques for radiation dose measurements.

Implementing Dimer Metadynamics using GROMACS [PDF]
We develop a Gromacs implementation of Dimer Metadynamics[JCTC 13, 425 (2017)] for enhanced sampling through artificial delocalization effects. This implementation is based entirely on a Plumed collective variable developed for this purpose, the fine tuning of Gromacs input parameters, modified forcefields and custom non-bonded interactions.

Relationship of fetal alanine uptake and placental alanine metabolism to maternal plasma alanine concentration [PDF]
Uterine and umbilical uptakes of alanine (Ala) were measured in 10 ewes before (control) and during intravenous infusion of Ala, which increased maternal arterial Ala concentration from 115 ± 14 to 629 ± 78 μM ( P < 0.001). In 8 of these ewes, placental Ala fluxes were traced by constant intravenous infusion ofl-[3,3,3-2H3]Ala in the mother andl-[1-

Sensing Living Bacteria in Vivo Using d-Alanine-Derived 11C Radiotracers
Incorporation of d-amino acids into peptidoglycan is a unique metabolic feature of bacteria. Since d-amino acids are not metabolic substrates in most mammalian tissues, this difference can be exploited to detect living bacteria in vivo.
