Although many Archaea have AMP-Acs (acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase) and ADP-Acs, the extant methanogenic genus Methanosarcina is the only identified Archaeal genus that can utilize acetate via acetate kinase (Ack) and phosphotransacetylase (Pta). Despite the importance of ack as the potential urkinase in the ASKHA phosp…

A ratiometric fluorescent probe 2-(benzimidazol-2-yl)phenyl phosphoric acid (1) for alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is designed and synthesized. The method employs the modulation of the excited-state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process of 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole (HPBI) through the hydroxyl group protec…

Molecular dynamics simulations are performed to develop new parameters for acetamide using a systematic procedure proposed by Salas et al., where the atomic charges were fitted to reproduce the experimental dielectric constant and the Lennard-Jones parameters to match the surface tension and density. The parameters fo…

We employ phase-field modeling to explore the elastic properties of artificially created 1-D domain walls in (001)p-oriented BiFeO3 thin films, composed of a junction of the four polarization variants, all with the same out-of-plane polarization. It was found that these junctions exhibit peculiarly high electroelastic…

Differential optical detection of a magnetic resonance induced in nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond is shown to enable a high-spatial-resolution room-temperature magnetic-field gradiometry on a fiber platform. An ultracompact design of this fiber-based solid-state magnetic gradiometer is achieved by integrating…

We report neutron scattering measurements which reveal spin-liquid polymorphism in an "11" iron chalcogenide superconductor. It occurs when a poorly metallic magnetic state of FeTe is tuned toward superconductivity by substitution of a small amount of tellurium with isoelectronic sulfur. We observe a liquid-like magne…

Emission of N2O from mobile and off-road engine is now being currently regulated because of its high impact compared to that of CO2, thereby implying that N2O formation from the exhaust gas after-treatment system should be suppressed. Selective catalytic reduction using vanadium supported TiO2 catalyst in mobile and o…

We study alkali-metal adsorption on supported graphene by means of density-functional-theory calculations that include dispersion corrections. Graphene supported by the Au/Ni(111) surface is an important system for fundamental studies because this surface allows one to support graphene, preserving the electronic prope…

Phage shock protein A (PspA) belongs to the highy conserved PspA/IM30 family and is a key component of the stress inducible Psp system in Escherichia coli. One of its central roles is the regulatory interaction with the transcriptional activator of this system, the σ(54) enhancer-binding protein PspF, a member of the…

A method is described for determining the solubility of multicomponent crystalline compounds from clear points upon sample dilution at a constant temperature. Clear points are established by continuously adding a solvent mixture to a suspension of known composition until a clear solution appears. For validation, this…
