The spontaneous degradation of asparaginyl and aspartyl residues to isoaspartyl residues is a common type of protein damage in aging organisms. Although the protein-l-isoaspartyl (d-aspartyl) O-methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.77) can initiate the repair of l-isoaspartyl residues to l-aspartyl residues in most organisms, n…

Hydrotalcite is a layered double hydroxide (LDH) consisting of brucite-like sheets of metal ions (Mg-Al). In this work, hydrotalcites were synthesized, and boron removal from oilfield wastewater was evaluated. LDHs were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The calcined products (CLDHs) were obtained by heati…

BACKGROUND: The genus Fusarium comprises a heterogeneous group of fungi important for agriculture. Fusarium solani f. sp. eumartii (F. eumartii), historically considered to be a fungal pathogen of potato, has also been associated with tomato disease. Currently, chitosan and its derivatives have been receiving more att…

Fast crystal growth can abruptly emerge as molecular liquids are cooled to become glasses, a phenomenon presently unknown for other materials. This glass-to-crystal (GC) mode can cause crystallization rates orders of magnitude faster than those predicted by standard models. While GC growth is known for 12 systems, its…

Abstract We hybridize core–shell‐structured metal‐nitride nanowires with a 3D carbon substrate. Such electrodes demonstrate a high volumetric capacitance and good cycling stability, owing to the synergistic integration of titanium nitride and vanadium nitride, as well as the vast surface area and conductive network pr…

Graphene on Ir(111) is studied using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and x-ray standing waves (XSW). The graphene layer has a corrugated shape due to the moir\'e pattern formed as a result of a spatially varying interaction strength between graphene and its substrate. The coherent fraction ${F}^{(111)}$ determined…

We investigate the adsorption of submicrometer bulk-synthesized polymer dumbbells to oil-water interfaces using freeze-fracture, shadow-casting (FreSCa) cryo-scanning electron microscopy. We find that the dumbbells are amphiphilic and adsorb to the interface with a preferred orientation. Most particles adsorb in a til…
