Solubility of molecular crystals: Polymorphism in the light of solubility theory [PDF]
The thermodynamic theory of solubility of molecular crystals in solvents is reviewed with an emphasis on solutes showing polymorphism as in case of many pharmaceuticals. The relation between solubility and binary phase diagrams of the solute solvent system is treated. The astonishing variety of possible solubility curves as a function of temperature is

Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Extraction of Diterpenoid Lactones of Andrographis paniculata using Liquid Solvents: Effect of Solvent’s Hildebrand Solubility Parameter on Extraction Efficiency [PDF]
Two diterpenoid lactones responsible to the multi healing properties of Andrographis paniculata have been extracted using 16 different liquid solvents. The effect of Hildebrand solubility parameter of the solvents on solid-liquid extraction yield using ...

Effects of F, B2O3 and P2O5 on the solubility of water in haplogranite melts compared to natural silicate melts [PDF]
The effects of F, B2O3 and P2O5 on the H2O solubility in a haplogranite liquid (36 wt. % SiO2, 39 wt. % NaAlSi3O8, 25 wt. % KAlSi3O8) have been determined at 0.5, 1, 2, and 3 kb and 800, 850, and 900°C.

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Swelling of PDMS Networks in Solvent Vapours; Applications for Passive RFID Wireless Sensors [PDF]
The relative degree of swelling of a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) network in organic vapours is demonstrated to be related to the chemical and physical properties of the organic compounds.

Gut microbiome and aging—A dynamic interplay of microbes, metabolites, and the immune system
Age‐dependent shifts in microbial communities engender shifts in microbial metabolite profiles. These in turn drive shifts in barrier surface permeability of the gut and brain and induce immune activation. When paired with preexisting age‐related chronic inflammation this increases the risk of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases.

Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Solubility and emulsifying activity of yam soluble protein
Yam soluble protein (YSP) has been reported to have many physiological activities, such as scavenging free radicals, immune activation, and anti-hypertensive activities. Protein solubility and emulsifying activity are important protein-associated functional properties for the application of proteins in food systems.
