... under sustained heat stress [73]. It has been reported that genetic analysis showing MNMA, known as the enzyme that catalyzes sulfuration of uridine at position 34 in tRNAs, is important for sustaining oxidative stress [74]. ...

... Loss of thiolation at the wobble position of tRNA (anticodon 1 position) correlates with the development of mitochondrial disease myoclonus epilepsy with ragged-red fibers, and excess thiolation promotes cancer and metastasis [22,23]. Studies have identified several tRNA-thiolation enzymes, such as TtuA [24][25][26], TtcA [27], and Ncs6 [28,29] of the TtuA/Ncs6 family; MnmA [30,31] (MnmA family); and ThiI [29] (ThiI family) (Tables S1 and S2). TtuA/Ncs6 family enzymes share a PP-loop (SGGXD [S/T]) residue-motif in the pyrophosphatase (PPase) domain and a CXXC . . . ...

... CVD diamond has been classically grown under microwave (MW) assisted plasmas through heterogeneous growth on a substrate that has been pre-treated or directly on single diamond crystals. These processes have been further exploited to grow micrometric sized high-quality diamond crystals with and without doping [31,2,6,32]. Further investigations in the recent past have been able to demonstrate homogeneous nucleation of DNPS with a wide variety of hydrocarbon precursor gases such as methane [16], ethanol [24,21], halogenated hydrocarbons [10,11] etc. ...

... The binder is typically a diamagnetic liquid such as linseed oil, possessing no EPR signal, although it may undergo photo degradation over centuries to form free radicals. The binder typically does not react with the pigment, although ligand substitution has been observed in specific cases [43]. Therefore, the binder has no effect on the EPR signal of the pigment. ...

... With the term reactivity, we refer to the formation of interactions and bonds that determines a structural evolution of the paint film. Several studies have shown that hydrolysis of drying oils results in the release of free fatty acids, which are then electronically attracted to the zinc oxide [30,39,40]. The ZnO surface is thus functionalized with long aliphatic chain molecules, subsequently forming an amorphous network of zinc carboxylates [41,42]. ...

... Thus, the possibility of creating thin homogeneous layers of a well-dispersed ND with a predictable, controlled, and reproducible structure with photoluminescence originating from the color centers is of particular interest for application in the fields of quantum technologies, secure quantum communication, quantum information processing [7], and in the semiconductor industry as a whole [8]. It may be also useful in sensing and biosensing methods and the development of new devices [9], e.g., for chemical [9,10], thermo- [11], magnetic sensing [12] and molecular and biosensing [13][14][15]. As fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM) has been successfully applied for the study of NDs [16,17], the analysis of the structures capable of ND luminescence-based sensing is of particular interest. ...

... The more CO 2 is released in the atmosphere the more average temperature of our atmosphere increases. The content of CO 2 in the environment is increasing day by day and is very dangerous for the human existence on the earth in upcoming years if we do not control it by natural means or through artificial ways [1,2]. Thus a lot of effort must be put into combating climate change by reducing CO 2 into the atmosphere. ...

... Nam et al. constructed a distorted Cu dimer in a metal-organic framework (MOF), HKUST-1, but found that the MOF was reduced to Cu clusters under CO 2 RR conditions and the C 2+ selectivity came from the derived metallic Cu with low coordination numbers (CNs) 22 . A nitrogencoordinated Cu single-site catalyst showed high selectivity toward ethanol in CO 2 and CO electroreduction, while operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) suggested that the isolated Cu sites were reversibly converted to Cu nanoparticles, serving as the true catalytically active species in operation 23,24 . It is in doubt whether single-site Cu-without deriving the initial solid-state or molecular materials to Cu agglomerations-can remain stable under CO 2 RR and catalyze C-C coupling. ...

... biosynthesis, UbiU and UbiV, but shows poor conservation of the putative cysteine ligands for the Fe-S cluster 49 . The presence of an Fe-S cluster on TrhP or RlhA has yet to be confirmed. ...

... 13,45,46 However, up to date, such solutions based on MOFs have not been proposed. 13,43,44 Another promising approach is using mixed systems containing chromium ions as well as lanthanide ions. 30,47 Herein, we report the preparation and structural and optical characteristics of the first MOF-type luminescence thermometers based solely on spectroscopic properties of the Cr 3+ ions, i.e., [EA] 2 NaCr x Al 1−x (HCOO) 6 , where x = 1, 0.78, 0.57, 0.30, 0.21, and 0. The investigated materials exhibit significant temperature-dependent emission, simultaneously related to chromium ion concentration. ...
