University of Utah researchers have developed a material that addresses an urgent environmental challenge: the real-time detection and efficient removal of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a toxic and ...

The method has applications in organic chemistry, particularly within the pharmaceutical industry. A team of scientists has developed an electrochemical technique that enables precise, para-position ...

They then form covalent disulfide bonds with accessible thiol groups of cysteine residues on the targeted receptor protein, inhibiting the activity of the acid-secreting, hydrogen- potassium ...

To determine how electron donating (D) and electron withdrawing (W) substituents impact solvation energy, Δd, and µ of the cyanine dye Cy5, PhD student Austin Biaggne and co-authors used density ...

Two alternative models of PKA activation were tested in neurons, and the results support the classical model in which the catalytic subunit dissociated from the regulatory subunit upon activation.

Background: Kir2.1 channels maintain the cardiac resting membrane potential and assist in phase 3 repolarization. PKA-mediated phosphorylation modulates Kir2.1 function, impacting heart excitability ...

Spread the loveTitration curves are powerful tools for understanding the properties of acids and bases. One of the most important characteristics of an acid or base is its pKa value, which represents ...

Spread the loveIntroduction In the world of chemistry, equilibrium constants (Keq) and acid dissociation constants (pKa) play a vital role in understanding chemical reactions and their balance. The ...

The UdeM models captured more than 80 percent of the variation in many important leaf functional traits, including leaf mass per area, cellulose concentration, and water content.
