Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.Single‐atom catalysts (SACs) have been explored to maximize Pt utilization, but they struggle to efficiently activate the C─H and O─H bonds in alcohols. Multi‐metallic dizygotic‐atom‐site catalysts (DASCs), which incorporate multiple metal atoms in dispersed active sites, offer a promising alternative by enhancing catalytic activity through metal ...

A genome wide linkage scan for dizygotic twinning in 525 families of mothers of dizygotic twins [PDF]
Human Reproduction, 2010 The tendency to conceive dizygotic (DZ) twins is a complex trait influenced by genetic and environmental factors. To search for new candidate loci for twinning, we conducted a genome-wide linkage scan in 525 families using microsatellite and single nucleotide polymorphism marker panels.Non-parametric linkage analyses, including 523 families containing ...

HLA Haplotypes in Dizygotic Twin Pairs: Are Dizygotic Twins More Similar Than Sibs? [PDF]
Twin Research, 2002 AbstractIt has been suggested that dizygotic twin pairs share two HLA haplotypes more often than ordinary siblings and thus might be genetically more alike. We tested this hypothesis in dizygotic twin pairs from the Danish Twin Registry. A total of 114 (60 female and 54 male) same-sexed healthy twin pairs aged 18–45 years participated.
