Tooth enamel nitrogen isotope composition records trophic position: a tool for reconstructing food webs

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Enamel-bound nitrogen isotopes in modern and fossil mammal teeth preserve dietary and trophic level information. This novel geochemical archive can be used to reconstruct trophic niche in ancient ecosystems.

Marine sediment nitrogen isotopes and their implications for the nitrogen cycle in the sulfate-methane transition zone

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2023
IntroductionRecent work has proposed that the nitrogen isotopes in marine sediments can be impacted by anaerobic oxidation of methane (AOM), since nitrogen uptake by anaerobic methanotrophic archaea (ANME) modifies the nitrogen isotope compositions of ...

Nitrogen Isotopes in Deep Time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for life, and its sources and cycling have varied over earth history. Stable isotope ratios of nitrogen compounds (expressed as δ15N, in ‰) are preserved in the sedimentary record and track these changes, providing important insights into associated biogeochemical feedbacks.

Zinc Isotope Ratios as Indicators of Diet and Trophic Level in Arctic Marine Mammals.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of bone collagen are an established method for dietary reconstruction, but this method is limited by the protein preservation.

Sudden anaerobization in Amphibacillus xylanus increases intracellular labile ferrous iron and inhibits cell growth

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Abruptly changing from aerobic to anaerobic conditions (sudden anaerobization) induced growth inhibition and a significant increase in intracellular labile ferrous iron in the aerotolerant anaerobe Amphibacillus xylanus. We found that free flavins mediate efficient electron transfer from NADH to ferric iron under anaerobic conditions, suggesting that ...

Towards a global interpretation of dual nitrate isotopes in surface waters

open access: yesJournal of Hydrology X, 2019
Modern anthropogenic activities have significantly increased nitrate (NO3−) concentrations in surface waters. Stable isotopes (δ15N and δ18O) in NO3− offer a tool to deconvolute some of the human-made changes in the nitrogen cycle.

Ontogenetic δ15N Trends and Multidecadal Variability in Shells of the Bivalve Mollusk, Arctica islandica

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Bulk stable nitrogen isotope values of the carbonate-bound organic matrix in bivalve shells (δ15NCBOM) are increasingly used to assess past food web dynamics, track anthropogenic nitrogen pollution and reconstruct hydrographic changes.

Elementary Isotopic Analysis: Determination of Nitrogen [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1947
We have recently described an isotopic method for the determination of oxygen1 and carbon2 in organic compounds by using heavy oxygen (O18) and carbon (C13) respectively in conjunction with a mass spectrometer. Using the same method, higher precision is possible in the determination of nitrogen and hydrogen, since N15 and H2 (deuterium) are available ...

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Importin 7 mediates the nuclear import of HIV‐1 integrase via a specific interacting interface

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
HIV‐1 integrase enables viral DNA integration into the host genome. By binding to the core domain of the host protein Importin 7 via its C‐terminal domain, the integrase is transported across the nuclear membrane into the nucleus, where integration of the viral genome into host DNA takes place. This translocation is a critical step for subsequent viral
