CO2 reduction by H2 on heterogeneous catalysts is an important class of reactions that has been studied for decades. However, atomic scale details structure-function relationships are still poorly understood. Particularly, it suggested metal particle size plays a unique role in controlling the stability hydrogenation and distribution active sites, which dictates reactivity selectivity. These studies often have not considered possible isolated sites observed dependences. Here, we utilize...
After failing primary and secondary hormonal therapy, castration-resistant neuroendocrine prostate cancer metastatic to the bone is invariably lethal, although treatment with docetaxel carboplatin can modestly improve survival. Therefore, agents targeting biologically relevant pathways in PCa potentially synergizing inhibiting metastasis growth are urgently needed. Phosphorylated (activated) AXL expression human metastases was assessed by immunohistochemical staining. We evaluated effects of...
Soybean lipoxygenase (SLO) has served as a prototype for understanding the molecular origin of enzymatic rate accelerations. The double mutant (DM) L546A/L754A is considered dramatic outlier, due to unprecedented size and near temperature-independence its primary kinetic isotope effect, low catalytic efficiency, elevated enthalpy activation. To uncover physical basis these features, we herein apply three structural probes: hydrogen–deuterium exchange mass spectrometry, room-temperature X-ray...

Abstract The FDA-approved anti-androgen Enzalutamide (Enz) has been used successfully as the last line therapy to extend castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients’ survival by an extra 4.8 months. However, CRPC patients eventually develop Enz-resistance that may involve induction of androgen receptor (AR) splicing variant ARv7. Here we found Cisplatin (Cis) or Carboplatin, currently in chemotherapy/radiation suppress tumor progression, could restore Enz sensitivity multiple...
