Abstract Biodegradable polymers have been getting more and more attention because of their contribution to the plastic pollution environmental issues and to move towards a circular economy. Nevertheless, biodegradable materials still exhibit various disadvantages restraining a widespread use in the market.

Modeling gene's length distribution in genomes [PDF]
We show, that the specific distribution of gene's length, which is observed in natural genomes, might be a result of a growth process, in which a single length scale $L(t)$ develops that grows with time as $t^{1/3}$. This length scale could be associated with the length of the longest gene in an evolving genome.

Polyphenolic extracts and their fractions from five plant sources inhibit calcium oxalate and brushite crystal formation in vitro, with non‐anthocyanin fractions showing stronger anti‐lithogenic effects supported by molecular docking. ABSTRACT Nephrolithiasis, or kidney stone formation, is a widespread global health concern.

Globally, hyperuricemia is a growing health, social, and economic problem which could cause gout, chronic kidney diseases and other diseases. There are increasing evidences that a sensible diet makes sense to reduce the risk of hyperuricemia. This review

In the nascent processes of the beginnings and evolution of life, nucleobases and especially purines, ribonucleos(t)ides and primitive RNAs have been continuously modified. A RNA‐peptide world and key metabolic pathways probably have emerged from the corresponding chemical modifications resulting from adenine deamination, purine alkylation and ...

Abstract Introduction There are several cannabidiol (CBD) transdermal patches available on the market. However, none are FDA‐approved. Furthermore, not much evidence has been published about CBD release and skin permeation from such patches, so the effectiveness and reliability remain unclear. Objectives We aimed to develop a method to determine the in

Guanine deaminase (GDA) catalyzes the first step in purine catabolism by converting guanine to xanthine. Despite its significant role in the development of low-purine food, studies on GDA remain limited compared to other metabolic deaminases. To identify

Bilayer Graphene Lateral Contacts for DNA Sequencing [PDF]
Translocation of DNA through a nanopore with embedded electrodes is at the centre of new rapid inexpensive sequencing methods which allow distinguishing the four nucleobases by their different electronic structure. However, the subnanometer separation between nucleotides in DNA requires ultra-sharp probes.
