Modern macrocyclic peptides feature unnatural elements that are used to improve the activity and pharmacokinetic properties. Chemistry beyond peptide synthesis must, however, be employed to introduce such elements. Notably, application of the copper-catalyzed aldehyde-alkyne-amine A3-reaction in ...

The commercial viability of microalgal biorefineries is currently constrained by high energy demands during pretreatment and incomplete biomass valorization arising from cell wall recalcitrance. To overcome these challenges, this study developed a high-efficiency simultaneous saccharification and fermentation (SSF) strategy using an immobilized tri-enzyme ...

Purpose: Computer- and robotic-assisted technologies improve total knee arthroplasty (TKA) through intraoperative bone registration. However, limited bone exposure restricts point collection to the distal femur, omitting key geometric features and reducing registration accuracy and the surgical outcomes. Methods: We introduce a deep learning-based method ...

This study evaluates a mixed-culture microbial fuel cell (MFC) as a rapid, real-time biosensor for detecting water toxicity caused by heavy metals and benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX) compounds. A dual-chamber MFC (200 mL) equipped with carbon fiber electrodes was operated with an electroactive biofilm on the anode, and toxicity responses ...

This paper examines the perspectives and experiences of Canadian secondary school students on violent extremism. Through interviews with students (n = 36), the study highlights a significant lack of critical understanding of the topic. Although students perceive their teachers as competent, discussions on violent extremism are notably absent in classrooms ...

Elucidating the neural substrates of Pavlovian reward learning requires reliable behavioral readouts. In conditioned magazine approach studies, rodents express reward expectancy by approaching the food magazine during cues that predict reward. This behavior is typically quantified using one of th ...
