Phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, PNMT, utilizes the methylating cofactor S-adenosyl-L-methionine to catalyse the synthesis of adrenaline. Human PNMT has been crystallized in complex with an inhibitor and the cofactor product S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine using the hanging-drop technique with PEG 6000 and lithium chloride as precipitant. A critical requirement for crystallization was a high e...

A set of experiments was conducted to examine the loudness of sounds with temporally asymmetric amplitude envelopes. Envelopes were generated with fast-attack/slow-decay characteristics to produce F-S (or "fast-slow") stimuli, while temporally reversed versions of these same envelopes produced corresponding S-F ("slow-fast") stimuli. For sinusoidal (330-6000 Hz) and broadband noise carriers, S-...

Light Emitting Diode (LED)s are used extensively in almost everywhere our daily life and they have different color temperatures such as Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) which is represented by ˚K (Kelvin). In this study, wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) barley (Hordeum vulgare were cultivated laboratory environment under LED with CCT values (2000, 3000, 6000˚K). After cultivation, plant height we...

Some drugs have low bioavailability due to their poor aqueous solubility and/or slow dissolution rate in biological fluids. Stiripentol (STP) is a novel anticonvulsant drug that is structurally unrelated to the currently available antiepileptics. It has poor aqueous solubility and its solubility has to be enhanced accordingly. Polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG-6000) is commonly utilized as a hydroph...

Application of Long-Persistent Luminescence Materials In article number 2207331 by Zhifeng Shi and co-workers, a novel metal-halide single crystal inorganic cesium cadmium chlorine (CsCdCl3) is reported, which displays long-persistent luminescence with long duration 6000 s. The diagram above vividly depicts that the inherent defects CsCdCl3 crystals act as energy traps to trap store electrons, ...
