Surface force analysis of glycine adsorption on different crystal surfaces of titanium dioxide (TiO2)

open access: yesNano Convergence, 2017
Surface force analysis with atomic force microscope (AFM) in which a single amino acid residue was mounted on the tip apex of AFM probe was carried out for the first time at the molecular level on titanium dioxide (TiO2) as a representative mineral ...

The Chemical Evolution of the Galaxy [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - International Astronomical Union, 1985
Over the last few years, our picture of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy has changed substantially. These changes are of interest because chemical evolution provides a common point of contact for most astrophysical processes of importance to galaxy evolution.

Linked cycles of oxidative decarboxylation of glyoxylate as protometabolic analogs of the citric acid cycle

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The citric acid cycle (TCA) is a fundamental metabolic pathway to release stored energy in living organisms. Here, the authors report two linked cycles of reactions that each oxidize glyoxylate into CO2 and generate intermediates shared with the modern ...

A small molecule screen identifies novel inhibitors of mechanosensory nematocyst discharge in Hydra

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Cnidarians are characterized by the possession of stinging organelles, called nematocysts, which they use for prey capture and defense. Nematocyst discharge is controlled by a mechanosensory apparatus with analogies to vertebrate hair cells.

Developmental transcriptomics of the brittle star Amphiura filiformis reveals gene regulatory network rewiring in echinoderm larval skeleton evolution

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2018
Background Amongst the echinoderms the class Ophiuroidea is of particular interest for its phylogenetic position, ecological importance and developmental and regenerative biology.

Molecules to Microbes

open access: yesSci, 2020
How did life begin on Earth? And is there life elsewhere in the Cosmos? Challenging questions, indeed. The series of conferences established by NoR CEL in 2013 addresses these very questions.

Evolution of the Mass–Metallicity Relation from Redshift z ≈ 8 to the Local Universe

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
A tight positive correlation between the stellar mass and the gas-phase metallicity of galaxies has been observed at low redshifts. The redshift evolution of this correlation can strongly constrain theories of galaxy evolution.

CHEMICAL EVOLUTION IN VeLLOs [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of The Korean Astronomical Society, 2007
A new type of object called "Very Low Luminosity Objects (VeLLOs)" has been discovered by the Spitzer Space Telescope. VeLLOs might be substellar objects forming by accretion. However, some VeLLOs are associated with strong outflows, indicating the previous existence of massive accretion.

The copper transport-associated protein Ctr4 can form prion-like epigenetic determinants in Schizosaccharomyces pombe

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2017
Prions are protein-based infectious entities associated with fatal brain diseases in animals, but also modify a range of host-cell phenotypes in the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Many questions remain about the evolution and biology of prions.
