Our new data suggest that our previous hypothesis about the involvement of an S100B-binding motif is incorrect, and that an important determinant of S100B binding includes a residue that is mutated in patients with a hyperkinetic movement disorder.

Overuse of lumbar imaging in the Emergency Department is a well-recognised healthcare challenge.…[Read more]

This may be because reservoir water had more aromatic, humic characteristics while leaf leachates had relatively more protein-like components. Using in vitro bioassays to test the mixture effects of all chemicals, chlorinated E. tereticornis leachate induced oxidative stress in HepG2 liver cells and bacterial toxicity more frequently and at lower…[Read more]

In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of Narcissus tazetta var. chinensis cv ‘Yulinglong’ was sequenced and assembled by next-generation sequencing. The complete cp genome is 159,376 in length and contained 137 genes, consisting of 91 protein-coding genes, eight ribosomal RNA genes, and 38 transfer RNA genes. Phylogenetic analyses…[Read more]

This work provides an insight into the relationship between the structure and the function of bone at a multilevel under load, specifically the role of the ordered MCF arrays in the lamellar structure.Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) have attracted wide attention due to their quasi-two-dimensional layered structure and exotic properties.…[Read more]

The advanced biochemical features of these nanoscale particles allow them to directly interact with virions and irreversibly disrupt their structure, which can render a virus incapable of replicating within the host. Virus-neutralizing coats and surfaces impregnated with nanomaterials can enhance personal protective equipment, hand sanitizers and…[Read more]
