Abstract Fructilactobacillus (F.) sanfranciscensis is a key bacterium in traditional (type 1) sourdough fermentations. It typically occurs combination with the yeast Kazachstania (K.) humilis or generalist Saccharomyces (S.) cerevisiae . Previous studies revealed intra-species diversity competitiveness dominance sourdoughs of F. , as well preferences for life without specific yeast. In this stu...

Non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) have recently breathed new life into organic photovoltaic (OPVs), achieving breakthrough conversion efficiencies. Unlike conventional fullerene acceptors, they offer strong levels of tunability and solution-processibility that allow them to be easily exploited in the roll-to-roll (R2R) fabrication process. This has enabled a renaissance for OPVs face other materia...

The use of naturally occuring polyphenols as hydrogen bond donors in supramolecular liquid crystals was investigated using alkylated azopyridines or stilbazoles acceptors.

Unveiling the impact of different structural isomers carborane-containing non-fullerene acceptors on optoelectronic properties and organic photovoltaic performance.

We used defined, reconstituted high density lipoproteins (rHDL) to study the effects of structure and composition of these particles on their role as cholesterol acceptors from cell membranes or from low density lipoproteins (LDL). Three discoidal rHDL and one spherical rHDL with distinct apolipoprotein A-I conformations, diameters and compositions were used in conjunction with Ob1771 cells to ...

It is well known that the “store language” of every pushdown automaton — the set of store configurations (state and stack contents) that can appear as an intermediate step in accepting computations — is a regular language. Here many models of language acceptors with various data structures are examined, along with a study of their store languages. For each model, an attempt is made to find the ...

Simple energy calculations show that there is a significant interaction between a hydrogen bond donor (like the greater than NH group) and the centre of a benzene ring, which acts as a hydrogen bond acceptor. This interaction, which is about half as strong as a normal hydrogen bond, contributes approximately 3 kcal/mol (1 cal = 4.184 J) of stabilizing enthalpy and is expected to play a signific...

In recent years, a family of five GlcNAc-6-O-sulfotransferases, called the GlcNAc6STs, has been molecularly cloned. One of these, GlcNAc6ST-2 (originally named HEC-GlcNAc6ST or LSST), shows a very restricted expression at the mRNA level in high endothelial cells (HECs) of lymph nodes high endothelial venules (HEVs). This enzyme has been shown to be involved in elaborating the 6-sulfo sLex struc...
