Niobium Uptake and Release by Bacterial Ferric Ion Binding Protein by Yanbo Shi, Ian Harvey, Dominic Campopiano, Peter J. Sadler

“…Ferric ion binding proteins (Fbps) transport FeIII across the periplasm and are vital for the virulence of many Gram negative bacteria. Iron(III) is tightly bound in a hinged binding cleft with octahedral coordination geometry involving binding to protein side chains (including tyrosinate residues) together with a synergistic anion such as phosphate. …”

A mild and scalable one-pot synthesis of N-substituted 2-aminobenzimidazoles via visible light mediated cyclodesulfurization by Tanawat Rerkrachaneekorn, Rose Malina Annuur, Soraya Pornsuwan, Mongkol Sukwattanasinitt, Sumrit Wacharasindhu

“…The practicality of the reaction is demonstrated by gram-scale synthesis. The key advantages of this method include the use of less toxic solvent in aqueous media, the elimination of photocatalyst, and a simple, practical setup (one-pot, open-flask, and ambient temperature). …”

Directional entropy based model for diffusivity-driven tumor growth by Marcelo E. de Oliveira, Luiz M. G. Neto

“…In our formulation, the tumor aggressiveness and morphological behavior is tissue-type dependent, i.e. alterations in white and gray matter regions (which can e.g. be induced by normal aging in healthy individuals or neurodegenerative diseases) affect both tumor growth rates and their morphology.The feasibility of this new conceptual approach is supported by previous observations that the fractal dimension, which correlates with the Shannon entropy we calculate, is a quantitative parameter that characterizes the variability of brain tissue, thus, justifying the further evaluation of this new conceptual approach.…”

Feasibility of Imaging Myelin Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis by Maria I. Zavodszky, John F. Graf, Cristina A. Tan Hehir

“…Physiology-based pharmacokinetic modeling combined with PET image simulation applied to a brain model was used to examine whether such an agent would allow the differentiation of artificial lesions 4–10 mm in diameter from the surrounding normal-looking white and gray matter. Furthermore, we examined how changes in agent properties, model parameters, and experimental conditions can influence imageability, identifying a set of conditions under which imaging of MS lesions might be feasible. …”
