Bulky Lesion Bypass Requires Dpo4 Binding in Distinct Conformations (open access)

Bulky Lesion Bypass Requires Dpo4 Binding in Distinct Conformations

Article describes study where researchers used single-molecule florescence resonance energy transfer (smFRET) experiments, classical molecular dynamics simulations, and nucleotide incorporation assays to investigate the mechanism by which the model Y-family polymerase, Dpo4, bypasses a (+)-cis-Benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P)-N 2-dG adduct in DNA.

Revisiting surface core-level shifts for ionic compounds (open access)

Revisiting surface core-level shifts for ionic compounds

Article establishing a theoretical method which is able to relate the binding energy shifts to the electronic structure of a material. In order to establish such a methodology, the CaO(100) surface to bulk core-level binding energy shifts are studied with Hartree-Fock and density-functional theory methods using both cluster and periodic slab models.

Discovery of higher-order topological insulators using the spin Hall conductivity as a topology signature (open access)

Discovery of higher-order topological insulators using the spin Hall conductivity as a topology signature

This article shows a connection between spin Hall effect and HOTIs using a combination of ab initio calculations and tight-binding modeling. The model demonstrates how a non-zero bulk midgap spin Hall conductivity (SHC) emerges within the HOTI phase. This work guides novel experimental and theoretical advances towards higher-order topological insulator realization and applications.

Increasing the Equilibrium Solubility of Meloxicam in Aqueous Media by Using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as a Cosolvent: Correlation, Dissolution Thermodynamics and Preferential Solvation (open access)

Increasing the Equilibrium Solubility of Meloxicam in Aqueous Media by Using Dimethyl Sulfoxide as a Cosolvent: Correlation, Dissolution Thermodynamics and Preferential Solvation

This article studies the solubility of meloxicam in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-aqueous solvent systems at several temperatures from 273.15 to 313.15 K to expand the solubility database about analgesic drugs in mixed solvents.

Improving the Selectivity of the C-C Coupled Product Electrosynthesis by Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-An Enhanced Route from Phenol to Biphenol (open access)

Improving the Selectivity of the C-C Coupled Product Electrosynthesis by Using Molecularly Imprinted Polymer-An Enhanced Route from Phenol to Biphenol

Authors of the article describe how they developed a procedure for selective 2,4-dimethylphenol, DMPh, direct electro-oxidation to 3,3' ,5,5'-tetramethyl-2,2'-biphenol, TMBh, a C-C coupled product. The authors claim that the procedure is reasonably selective towards TMBh without requiring harmful additives or elevated temperatures.
