Recently, the scope, regulation, legislation, and metrology of the analytical chemistry of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) have been reviewed in the Part 1 of the IUPAC Technical Report. Chemical analysis of nanomaterials in complex sample matrices presents a substantial challenge for analytical science and regulatory agencies. The purpose of the p...

Alessandro Volta built his pile in the winter of 1799 in his country house with no lab and no technical staff because, due to the war against Napoleon, the Austrians had closed the University of Pavia and fired the professors. Volta sent the article on the pile to the Royal Society in March 1800, and through the long process of publication in the j...

Glutamine:fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase (GFAT) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway (HBP), an important route for de novo synthesis of amino sugars, which are key components of prokaryotic cell walls, chitin, and complex eukaryotic glycoconjugates. GFAT also plays a major role in several pathological processes,...
