How Effective Are Nanomaterials for the Removal of Heavy Metals from Water and Wastewater? [PDF]

, 2020
Efficient removal of heavy metals from water and wastewater is a necessity for human and environmental well-being. Agricultural, domestic, and industrial waste discharges increase with the increase in the global population.

Evolutionarily divergent DUF4465 domains have a common vitamin B12‐binding function

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We show that DUF4465 family proteins, widespread across bacteria from gut microbiomes, hydrothermal vents, and soil, share a common vitamin B12‐binding function. These augmented β‐jellyroll proteins bind vitamin B12 via extended loops. Our findings establish sequence‐diverse DUF4465 proteins as a widespread class of B12‐binding proteins, highlighting ...

Hemoglobin synthesis rates in young trained and untrained males and females are not different

Physiological Reports
We employed deuterated water (2H2O) to compare the fractional synthetic rate (FSR) of hemoglobin in trained (n = 10) and untrained humans (n = 10). Participants had a mean V̇O2max of 49.8 [SD: 10.9] mL/kg/min, hemoglobin mass of 775 [180] g, and red ...

Traces of isotopic reactive species produced from a non-thermal plasma jet in bio-molecules

New Journal of Physics, 2015
Heavy water (D _2 O) is introduced into a non-thermal plasma jet (NTPJ) device to generate deuterium monoxide (OD) radicals instead of hydroxyl (OH) radicals.

YIPFα1A expression is regulated by multilayered molecular mechanisms

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
YIPFα1A, a five‐pass Golgi protein, is regulated at multiple layers. (1) Rare‐codon enrichment drives translation‐coupled mRNA decay. (2) A proximal 3′‐UTR element stabilizes mRNA. (3) A distal 3′‐UTR element included by alternate poly(A) site usage represses translation, which can be overridden by the proximal 3′‐UTR element.

The C‐terminal region of KIF26B is indispensable for nephron progenitor condensation and kidney formation in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
KIF26B plays an important role in kidney development. We engineered mice lacking the C‐terminal region of KIF26B and found severe kidney defects, including bilateral renal agenesis, similar to full Kif26b knockout mice. The mutation disrupted nephron progenitor condensation and reduced Gdnf‐Wnt11 signaling, showing that the KIF26B C‐terminal region is ...

Microbiology of heavy water in the HIFAR reactor.

, 1962
The high flux research reactor HIFAR contains ten tons of heavy water which acts as moderator and primary coolant. Over an eighteen months period regular microbiological examinations have been carried out on samples of heavy water taken from various ...

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Optical characteristics of UV–VUV lamps on the electronic-vibrational transitions of the hydroxyl radical pumped by a nanosecond capacitive discharge

High Voltage, 2017
This paper presents the results of a study of UV and VUV low-pressure lamp pumped by nanosecond capacitive discharge. This lamp works on the mixtures of helium and argon with water vapor (H(2)O) or ‘heavy’ water (D(2)O).
