This concept outlines the mechanism of molecular‐level multi‐electron storage, leveraging the quantum properties of electrons in σ bonds. Effective through‐space interactions between the 2pz atomic orbitals of electrophilic centers in organic superelectrophores enable the formation of supra‐LUMOs with bonding character, capable of hosting electrons ...

Alternate Modes of Photosynthate Transport in the Alternating Generations of Physcomitrella patens
Physcomitrella patens has emerged as a model moss system to investigate the evolution of various plant characters in early land plant lineages. Yet, there is merely a disparate body of ultrastructural and physiological evidence from other mosses to draw ...

The Jackprot Simulation Couples Mutation Rate with Natural Selection to Illustrate How Protein Evolution Is Not Random [PDF]
Protein evolution is not a random process. Views which attribute randomness to molecular change, deleterious nature to single-gene mutations, insufficient geological time, or population size for molecular improvements to occur, or invoke “design ...

Structure and Mechanism of the Divalent Anion/Na+ Symporter [PDF]
Integral membrane proteins of the divalent anion/Na+ symporter (DASS) family are conserved from bacteria to humans. DASS proteins typically mediate the coupled uptake of Na+ ions and dicarboxylate, tricarboxylate, or sulfate. Since the substrates for DASS include key intermediates and regulators of energy metabolism, alterations of DASS function ...

Glucose Transport in the Extremely Thermoacidophilic Sulfolobus solfataricus Involves a High-Affinity Membrane-Integrated Binding Protein [PDF]
The archaeon Sulfolobus solfataricus grows optimally at 80°C and pH 2.5 to 3.5 on carbon sources such as yeast extracts, tryptone, and various sugars. Cells rapidly accumulate glucose.

Na+-dependent and Na+-independent betaine transport across the apical membrane of rat renal epithelium [PDF]
The low renal excretion of betaine indicates that the kidney efficiently reabsorbs the betaine filtered by the glomeruli but the mechanisms involved in such a process have been scarcely investigated.

Magnesium deficiency in sugar beets alters sugar partitioning and phloem loading in young mature leaves [PDF]
Magnesium deficiency has been reported to affect plant growth and biomass partitioning between root and shoot. The present work aims to identify how Mg deficiency alters carbon partitioning in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants.
