Computational methods for predicting the subcellular localization of bacterial proteins play a crucial role in the ongoing efforts to annotate the function of these proteins and to suggest potential drug targets. These methods, used in combination with other experimental and computational methods, can play an important role in biomedical research by annotating the proteomes of a wide variety of...

A significant improvement in the production of l-ribulose from inexpensive and commercially available starting materials, L-arabinose and sodium aluminate, is demonstrated. This has facilitated expeditious access to gram-scale quantities of L-ribulofuranoside derivatives.

Fragrant nitrogen-doped carbon dots of gram scale can be prepared from commercial bee pollens by a hydrothermal process. These carbon dots of 1-2 nm in size show promising applications in cellular imaging and catalysis/photocatalysis.

Gram-scale, teardrop-like, monodisperse ZnO nanocrystals with a well-resolved absorption onset and a strong sharp UV emission were prepared by thermal decomposition of ZnO-oleic acid complexes in hexadecylamine.

A dual functionalized ionic liquid catalytic system was developed for the reaction between CO2 and propargylic alcohols, exhibited excellent performance good reusability, even under a low concentration of in gram-scale reaction.

The purpose of this study was to test the applicability of the API 20E and API Rapid NFT systems for the identification of some predominant gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria isolated from lab-scale activated sludge treatment systems. In this study, one lab-scale sequencing batch reactor (SBR) and one lab-scale continuous-flow stirred tank reactor (CFSTR) were setup. After both reactors h...

The preparation of a high performance and durability with low-platinum (Pt) loading oxygen reduction catalysts remains challenge for the practical application fuel cells. Alloying Pt transition metal can greatly improve activity reaction (ORR). In this work, we present one-pot wet-chemical strategy to controllably synthesize carbon supported sub-5 nm PtNi nanocrystals ~3% loading. as-prepared P...
