Neurometabolic profiles of bile duct ligated rats after the treatment with an urease inhibitor – 1H MRS dataset

Cristina Ramona Cudalbu Moldovan, Dunja Simicic

1H MRS in the cerebellum was used to study the effect of 2-octynohydroxamic acid (2-octynoHA) treatment on the brain of bile duct ligated (BDL) rats (type C hepatic encephalopathy). The study included four groups of rats: negative control group (rats recei ...

Boosting hydrogen production via urea electrolysis on an amorphous nickel phosphide/graphene hybrid structure

Paul Joseph Dyson, Zhaofu Fei, Lu Chen, Yun Tong

Overall urea electrolysis has favorable thermodynamic properties and can complement traditional water splitting by simultaneously purifying urea-rich waste streams. However, the kinetics of the reaction is slow and more efficient catalysts are required. In ...

High-resolution cryo-EM structure of urease from the pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg

Urease converts urea into ammonia and carbon dioxide and makes urea available as a nitrogen source for all forms of life except animals. In human bacterial pathogens, ureases also aid in the invasion of acidic environments such as the stomach by raising th ...

Amphiphilic amino acids: a key to adsorbing proteins to nanopatterned surfaces?

Francesco Stellacci

It has been suggested that amphiphilic amino acids play an important role in the adsorption of proteins on nanostructured surfaces with an ordered, striped domain structure such as those presented by monolayer-protected metal nanoparticles (MPMNs). We have ...

Fate of the pathogen indicators phage phiX174 and Ascaris suum eggs during the production of struvite fertilizer from source-separated urine

Tamar Kohn, Brian Pecson, Loïc Decrey

Human urine has the potential to be a sustainable, locally and continuously available source of nutrients for agriculture. Phosphate can be efficiently recovered from human urine in the form of the mineral struvite (MgNH4PO4•6H2O). However, struvite format ...
