Unveiling the underlying molecular basis of astaxanthin accumulation in Haematococcus through integrative metabolomic-transcriptomic analysis
Astaxanthin is a valuable and highly demanded ketocarotenoid pigment, for which the chlorophycean microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is an outstanding natural source. Although information on astaxanthin accumulation in H. pluvialis has substantially advanced in recent...
The Role of the Atmosphere on the Photophysics of Ligand-Free Lead-Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals
Lead halide perovskite (LHP) nanocrystals (NCs) have gained attention over the past decade due to their outstanding optoelectronic properties, making them a suitable material for efficient photovoltaic and light emitting devices. Due to its soft nature, these...
Inhibition of the PP2A activity by the histone chaperone ANP32B is long-range allosterically regulated by respiratory cytochrome c
Repair of injured DNA relies on nucleosome dismantling by histone chaperones and de-phosphorylation events carried out by Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Typical histone chaperones are the Acidic leucine-rich Nuclear Phosphoprotein 32 family (ANP32) members, e.g....
EAR domain-containing transcription factors trigger PRC2-mediated chromatin marking in Arabidopsis
PcG (polycomb group) complexes ensure that every cell in an organism expresses the genes needed at a particular stage, time, or condition. However, it is still not fully understood how PcG complexes PRC1 and PRC2 are recruited to target genes in plants. Recent...
Dehydration of glucose to 5-Hydroxymethlyfurfural on bifunctional carbon catalysts
The proposed study tries to reply on one important question concerning glucose dehydration: What is the role of bare or tandem Lewis/Brønsted acid sites in the reaction and which are better? A series of mono and bifunctional catalyst are designed and screened for the...
