The development of alternative routes for ammonia (NH3) synthesis with high Faradaic efficiency (FE) is crucial energy conservation and to achieve zero carbon emissions. Electrocatalytic nitrate (NO3−) reduction NH3 (e‐NO3RRA) a promising the energy‐intensive, fossil‐fuel‐driven Haber–Bosch process. implementation this innovative technique requires an efficient electrocatalyst in‐depth mechanistic understanding e‐NO3RRA. In study, we developed ultrathin sheet (µm) iron–nickel nanoflower...
The catalytic valorisation of biomass to afford synthetically useful small molecules is essential for sustainable biorefinery processes. Herein, we present a mild cascaded electrochemical protocol converting furoic acid, common biomass-derived feedstock, into versatile platform chemical, gamma-butyrolactone.

The electrochemical selective oxidative transformation of lignin feedstocks into valuable oxygenated aromatics is essential to establish a sustainable biorefinery.
ABSTRACT Low solar radiation is an important factor affecting maize root growth and development. Roots have anchoring function, their components are cellulose lignin. Here, shade experiments were conducted using nets with 50% light transmittance (L 50 ). The experiment was in 2021 2022 the ‘Xianyu 335’ variety under two nitrogen conditions (N 1 = 180 kg ha −1 N 2 240 ) to investigate effect of shading on structural carbohydrate content nodal roots. results showed that had a highly...
The ATR/Chk1 pathway is a critical surveillance network that maintains genomic integrity during DNA replication by stabilizing the forks normal to avoid stress. One of many differences between cells and cancer amount stress occurs replication. Cancer with activated oncogenes generate increased levels This creates an dependency on in opens up opportunity preferentially kill inhibiting this pathway. In support idea, we have identified small molecule termed HAMNO...

Replication protein A (RPA), essential for DNA replication, repair and damage signalling, possesses six ssDNA-binding domains (DBDs), including DBD-F on the N-terminus of largest subunit, RPA70. This domain functions as a binding site p53 other proteins that contain amphipathic alpha helical domains. Here, we demonstrate direct both ssDNA transactivation 2 (p53TAD2) to DBD-F, well DBD-F-directed dsDNA strand separation by RPA, all which are inhibited fumaropimaric acid (FPA). FPA binds...
The increasing threat of drug-resistant bacteria establishes a continuing need for the development new strategies to fight infection. We examine inhibition essential single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBs) SSBA and SSBB as potential antimicrobial therapy due their importance in DNA replication, activating SOS response promoting competence-based mechanisms resistance by incorporating DNA. Purified recombinant SSBs from Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus Bacillus anthracis) Gram-negative...
Efficient and highly selective production of propionic acid from biomass derived lactic was realized using I<sup>−</sup>/H<sub>2</sub> without adding other strong acids or metal catalysts.
Glyceric acid was reduced selectively to 3-iodopropionic at 373 K by hydroiodic mediated rhodium and hydrogen.
Cells respond to DNA double-strand breaks by initiating DSB repair and ensuring a cell cycle checkpoint. The primary responder is non-homologous end joining, which an error-prone pathway. However, when DSBs are generated after replication in the G2 phase of cycle, second pathway, homologous recombination, can come into action. Both ATM ATR important for DSB-induced checkpoint responses. One method working together through resection DSBs. As readout marker resection, RPA phosphorylated at...
Oral cancers are easily accessible compared to many other cancers. Nevertheless, oral cancer is often diagnosed late, resulting in a poor prognosis. Most squamous cell carcinomas that predominantly develop from hyperplasias and dysplasias. DNA damage induced these tissues directly or indirectly response oncogene-induced deregulation of cellular proliferation. Consequently, Damage (DDR) cycle checkpoint activated. As dysplasia transitions cancer, proteins involved signaling mutated silenced...
