Color Development Mechanism of Urea–Urethane Developers for High-Performance Thermo-Sensitive Paper

open access: yesColorants
A series of compounds with both urea and urethane moieties have been developed as color developers for high-performance thermo-sensitive paper. The compounds have lower environmental loads than conventional phenolic developers.

From junk to function — How weak selection in eukaryotes builds new parts and drives genomic complexity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
How do genomes gain new functional parts? In eukaryotes, which tend to evolve under weak selection, much of the genome is junk. Palazzo and Qiu borrow the logic of Markov chains to show how non‐functional DNA becomes functional through the appearance of intermediate states, which arise due to epistasis, buffering, and biochemical messiness, allowing ...

The Shewanella oneidensis Fic enzyme SoFic targets the switch‐I region of EF‐Tu for AMPylation

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fic enzymes mediate diverse post‐translational modifications across all domains of life, including AMPylation. Prokaryotic EF‐Tu can be AMPylated and deAMPylated by the conserved Fic enzyme SoFic. Structural and biochemical approaches were used to characterize the effect of AMPylation on EF‐Tu, SoFic's enzymatic activities, and the enzyme‐target ...

L‐aspartate oxidase provides new insights into fumarate reduction in anaerobic darkness in Synechocystis sp. PCC6803

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Synechocystis strains deficient in succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) secrete more succinate than the WT under dark anaerobic conditions, supporting that SDH then primarily acts as SDH, not as a fumarate reductase. L‐aspartate oxidase (Laspo) from Synechocystis is functional under anaerobic conditions, reducing fumarate to succinate.

Coloration of cotton fabric using watermelon extract: mechanism of dye-fiber bonding and chromophore absorption

open access: yes, 2020
Different approaches have been taken to develop a greener and sustainable cotton coloration process to reduce carbon footprint. Natural compound as a colorant is an excellent alternative to the harsh chemical-based reactive cotton coloration process ...

Artificial molecular machines and motors—Design and control of nanoscale motion

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Molecules are constantly moving because of thermal fluctuations, but random motion alone cannot be exploited to perform directional tasks. Artificial molecular machines use chemical, electrical, or light energy to bias this motion. Molecular shuttles, rotary motors, and supramolecular pumps illustrate how nanoscale movement can be controlled and ...

Cultural differences in preferences for facial coloration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Effects of facial coloration on facial attractiveness judgments are hypothesized to be “universal” (i.e., similar across cultures). Cross-cultural similarity in facial color preferences is a critical piece of evidence for this hypothesis.

Investigation of Color Causing Minerals in Yellow-Red Colored Quartzite Jade Using the Synchrotron Radiation Technique

open access: yesYankuang ceshi, 2016
Jade-like cryptocrystalline-microcrystalline vein quartzite is called quartzite jade in the jewel business of China. Color is the main criteria for the value of quartzite jade, and therefore studying the coloration mechanism is very important for the ...
