Statement validity assessment of students' sexual assault accounts: Comparison of honest reports, false denials and false allegations using the criteria‐based content analyses and the verifiability approach

Legal and Criminological Psychology, Volume 31, Issue 2, Page 316-332, September 2026.
Abstract Purpose In this study, we investigated whether three types of sexual assault (SA) accounts, Full disclosure (Honest), False denial and False allegation, could be distinguished using Criteria‐Based Content Analysis (CBCA) and the Verifiability Approach (VA). Method Student participants were pre‐screened for a history of SA.

Nisin Biosynthesis in vitro

Microbial Physiology, 2007
The lantibiotic nisin is produced by <i>Lactococcus lactis</i>. In the biosynthesis of nisin, the enzyme NisB dehydrates nisin precursor, and the enzyme NisC is needed for lanthionine formation. In this study, the <i>nisA</i> gene encoding the nisin precursor, and the genes <i>nisB</i> and <i>nisC</i> of ...

Fragmentation of Vancoresmycin Reveals a Strong Dependence on Global Molecular Architecture for Antibacterial Activity

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Fragmentation of the natural product vancoresmycin reveals an essential role of global architecture for biological potency. Vancoresmycin is a structurally complex tetramic‐acid‐containing natural product with potent activity against Gram‐positive bacteria, yet its structure–activity relationships remain poorly defined.

Protein defence systems against the lantibiotic nisin: Function of the immunity protein NisI and the resistance protein NSR

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Lantibiotics are potential alternatives to antibiotics because of their broad-range killing spectrum. The producer strain is immune against its own synthesized lantibiotic via the expression of two proteins LanI and LanFEG.
