UV-A radiation (320-400 nm) induces damages to the DNA molecule and its components through photosensitized reactions. Pterins, heterocyclic compounds widespread in biological systems, participate in relevant biological processes and are able to act as photosensitizers. We have investigated the photosensitization
Solid-state nanopores promise a scalable platform for single-molecule DNA analysis. Direct, real-time identification of nucleobases in DNA strands is still limited by the sensitivity and the spatial resolution of established ionic sensing strategies. Here, we study a different but promising

Multiple kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) on deoxyadenosine monophosphate (dAMP) hydrolysis in 0.1 M HCl were used to determine the transition state (TS) structure and probe its intrinsic reactivity. The experimental KIEs revealed a stepwise (SN1) mechanism, with a discrete oxacarbenium
Acne vulgaris, caused by the Gram-positive bacterium Cutibacterium acnes, is a prevalent dermatologic condition with substantial cutaneous and psychological morbidity. Mild acne is treated with topical antibiotics with more severe inflammatory forms requiring the prolonged use of oral antibiotics, resulting
