Ribotoxin-like proteins (RL-Ps) are specific ribonucleases found in mushrooms that are able to cleave a single phosphodiester bond located in the sarcin-ricin loop (SRL) of the large rRNA. The cleaved...
Methylmercury, mercury (II), and mercury (I) chlorides were found to react with vasopressin, a nonapeptide hormone cyclized by two cysteine residues, and its mono- and diselenium analogues to form several...
Metal terpyridine complexes have gained substantial interest in many application fields, such as catalysis and supramolecular chemistry. In recent years, the biological activity of terpyridine and its metal complexes has...
Unraveling the role of VDAC3 within living cells is challenging and still requires a definitive answer. Unlike VDAC1 and VDAC2, the outer mitochondrial membrane porin 3 exhibits unique biophysical features...
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) represents one of the most widely studied neurotrophins because of the many mechanisms in which it is involved. Among these, a growing body of evidence indicates...
Background: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, which affect millions of people worldwide, have multiple etiological factors that make an accurate diagnosis and effective treatments difficult. As a consequence, the gold standard...
BaPb1-xBixO3 (BPBO) bismuthate, showing high TC superconductivity for 0.05 < x < 0.35, is an archetypal system for studying the complex inhomogeneity of perovskite lattice favoring the emergence of quantum...
While the search for new high-temperature superconductors had been driven by the empirical "trials and errors" method for decades, we now report the synthesis of Artificial High-Tc Superlattices (AHTS) designed...
3-(2-(Methylthio)phenyl)prop-2-yn-1-ols have been successfully converted in one synthetic step into benzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-c]furan-1-ones by a PdI2/KI-catalyzed oxidative carbonylative double cyclization process, performed in MeCN under relative mild conditions (1-10 mol % PdI2,...
Carbon dots are carbon-based nanoparticles renowned for their intense light-emitting capabilities covering the whole visible light range. Achieving carbon dots emitting in the red region with high efficiency is extremely...
