I T IS WIDELY believed that the lipid bilayer of the erythrocyte membrane is supported by an elaborate infrastructure of protein molecules that give it viscoelastic properties. The proteins that provide this function are popularly referred to as the “membrane skeleton.” This membrane skeleton is considered to be distinct from the so-called “cytoskeleton,” a term used by cell biologists to descr...

Rapid progress in disease biomarker discovery has increased the need for robust detection technologies. In the past several years, the designs of many immunoaffinity reagents have focused on lowering costs and improving specificity while also promoting stability. Antibody fragments (scFvs) have long been displayed on the surface of yeast and phage libraries for selection; however, the stable pr...

Herein, fully hydrocarbon-based ionomer catalyst coated membranes (CCM)s based on sulfo-phenylated polyphenylene biphenyl (sPPB-H + ) are evaluated in a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer cell at 70 °C. In conjunction with layers incorporating Nafion® D520 ionomer, sPPB-H require lower applied potential than reference NR112 recast of equal thickness, e.g., 1.66 V vs 1.75 1 A cm −2 . In...

N-glycosylation is a post-translational modification of proteins that occurs across all three domains life. In Archaea, crucial for cell stability and motility, but importantly also has significant implications virus–host interactions. While some archaeal viruses present glycosylated or interact with host proteins, the direct influence on interactions remains to be elucidated. this study, we ge...

Hydroxide-exchange-membrane water electrolysis (HEMWE) is an emerging hydrogen-production pathway that combines many advantages of incumbent alkaline (AWE) and proton-exchange-membrane (PEMWE). Advancement in HEMWE has been accelerated with the development stable conductive hydroxide exchange membranes (HEMs) a more comprehensive understanding gas-evolving kinetics. However, performance durabil...

introduction salinity has various effects on plant growth by affecting physiological processes. the decline in plant productivity under saline condition, frequently linked with the reduction of photosynthetic capability. it has been reported that efficiency of psii photochemistry (fv/fm) of numerous plant species have been decreased due to salt stress studies have shown that salicylic acid (sa...
