DENV-2 strain is the most fatal and infectious of the five dengue virus serotypes. The non-structural protein NS1 encoded by its genome is the most significant protein required for viral pathogenesis and replication inside the host body. Thus, targeting the NS1 protein and designing an inhibitor to limit its stability and secretion is a propitious ...

Quantum dots (QDs) are inorganic semiconductor nanocrystals capable of emitting light. The current major challenge lies in the use of heavy metals, which are known to be highly toxic to humans and pose significant environmental risks. Researchers have turned to indium (In) as a promising option for more environmentally benign QDs, specifically indi...

The IUPAC Subcommittee on Polymer Education has been pursuing the development of a compact syllabus covering the essential topics required for a tertiary education in polymer science, with numerical and short answer exercises addressing each topic. The primary goal of the document is to provide a framework for a complete course made freely availabl...

In this study, a fluidized bed reactor for polyethylene production was employed using a dry mode approach, where the recycle stream may contain components of a nature that cannot be condensed through standard cooling. To analyze the behavior of the fluidized bed reactors during the copolymerization of ethylene with butene, a dynamic population bala...

Kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) modelling is ubiquitous to simulate the time evolution of (bio)chemical processes, specifically if populations are involved. A recurring task is the selection of the smallest control volume that leads to convergence, which means that the model outputs are accurate and sufficiently free from stochastic noise and do not sign...

Hyaluronan (HA), the essential [-3-GlcNAc-1-β-4-GlcA-1-β-]n matrix polysaccharide in vertebrates and molecular camouflage coating in select pathogens, is polymerized by "HA synthase" (HAS) enzymes. The first HAS identified three decades ago opened the window for new insights and biotechnological tools. This review discusses current understanding of...

A polymer acceptor, named PX-1, is designed and synthesized using a polymerization strategy with grafted small molecule acceptors. This design approach allows for the freedom of end groups while maintaining efficient terminal packing, enhancing π-π interactions, and facilitating charge transport. All-polymer organic solar cells based on PM6: PX-1 d...

A novel approach to the abatement of pollutants consisting of their conversion to separable solid polymers is explored by a heat/persulfate (PDS) process for the treatment of high-temperature wastewaters. During this process, a simultaneous decontamination and carbon recovery can be achieved with minimal use of PDS, which is significantly different...

In most rod-shaped bacteria, the actin homologue MreB is an essential component of the protein complex effecting cell wall elongation. The polymerization cycle and filament properties of eukaryotic actin have studied for decades and are well characterized. However, purification and in vitro work on MreB proteins have proven very difficult. Current ...

Just under the plasma membrane of most animal cells lies a dense meshwork of actin filaments called the cortical cytoskeleton. In insulin-secreting pancreatic β cells, a long-standing model posits that the cortical actin layer primarily acts to restrict access of insulin granules to the plasma membrane. Here we test this model and find that stimula...
