Catalytic Autoxidation for Depolymerization of Multilayer Plastic Films
Catalytic autoxidation using a Co/Mn/Br catalyst system depolymerizes diverse polymers in multilayer plastic films, generating oxygenated small molecules such as dicarboxylic acids. The method tolerates additives and disrupters and converts up to 48 mol% polymer carbon into soluble products, enabling chemical recycling of complex plastic waste ...

Wang-Landau molecular dynamics technique to search for low-energy conformational space of proteins
Multicanonical molecular dynamics (MD) is a powerful technique for sampling conformations on rugged potential surfaces such as protein. However, it is notoriously difficult to estimate the multicanonical temperature effectively. Wang and Landau developed

Placenta ingestion by rats enhances d- and k-opioid antinociception, but suppresses m-opioid antinociception [PDF]
Ingestion of placenta or amniotic fluid produces a dramatic enhancement of centrally mediated opioid antinociception in the rat. The present experiments investigated the role of each opioid receptor type (m, d, k) in the antinociception-modulating ...

The Opioid System in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy: Functional Role and Therapeutic Potential
Temporal lobe epilepsy is considered to be one of the most common and severe forms of focal epilepsies. Patients often develop cognitive deficits and emotional blunting along the progression of the disease.

Capillary HPLC Separation of Selected Neuropeptides [PDF]
Neuropeptides play a pivotal role in brain and peripheral nervous system function. As high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) becomes the central tool in the separation and characterization of peptide and protein samples, its selectivity ...

Differential Changes in Striatal Projection Neurons in R6/2 Transgenic Mice for Huntington's Disease
In early adult-onset Huntington's disease (HD), enkephalinergic striatopallidal projection neurons show preferential loss, reduced preproenkephalin (PPE) expression in surviving striatopallidal neurons, and loss of fibers in their projection target area.

Double labelling immunohistochemical characterization of autonomic sympathetic neurons innervating the sow retractor clitoridis muscle [PDF]
Retrograde neuronal tracing and immunohistochemical methods were used to define the neurochemical content of sympathetic neurons projecting to the sow retractor clitoridis muscle (RCM). Differently from the other smooth muscles of genital organs, the RCM

Isolation and amino acid sequence analysis of a 4,000-dalton dynorphin from porcine pituitary [PDF]
A 4,000-dalton dynorphin was isolated from porcine pituitary. It has 32 amino acids (Mr = 3,986), with the previously described heptadecapeptide (now called dynorphin A) at its amino terminus and a related tridecapeptide, dynorphin B, at its carboxyl ...
