Article Abstract

Selective oxidation of methane to acetic acid with high activity and selectivity remains a significant challenge. Brønsted acid sites (Si─OH─Al) are well-known for their crucial role in facilitating methane oxidation to acetic acid over zeolite-based catalysts. Here, we reported that Fe/ZSM-5-0.25Na with abundant Si─ONa─Al moieties outperformed Fe/ZSM-5 (rich in Brønsted acid sites) in methane oxidation to acetic acid using HO in the presence of CO. The Fe/ZSM-5-0.25Na yielded 144.1 µmol of oxygenated products, achieving an acetic acid selectivity of 81.8% at 50 °C for 2.0 h. These results surpass the performance of the Fe/ZSM-5 catalyst, which produced 131.4 µmol of oxygenated products with an acetic acid selectivity of 58.4%. Spectroscopic characterizations and mechanistic studies revealed that the Si─ONa─Al moieties in Fe/ZSM-5-0.25Na facilitated electron donation to iron species, forming electron-rich iron sites. These electron-rich iron species promoted CO insertion and enhanced the formation of acetic acid through carbon-carbon coupling of methane and CO.

Auxin, one of the earliest recognized and extensively investigated phytohormones, is crucial in plant growth and survival in adverse environmental conditions. Two gene families primarily regulate auxin signaling: auxin response factors (ARFs) and auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA). Aux/IAA family proteins are recognized as essential elements of the nuclear auxin signaling system, inhibiting gene transcription in their presence and facilitating gene activation upon their degradation.

Developing low-temperature gas sensors for parts per billion-level acetone detection in breath analysis remains challenging for non-invasive diabetes monitoring. We implement dual-defect engineering via one-pot synthesis of Al-doped WO nanorod arrays, establishing a W-O-Al catalytic mechanism. Al doping induces lattice strain to boost oxygen vacancy density by 31.

Purpose: To evaluate the impact of MRP inhibition by MK571 on prostate hypercontractility in diet-induced obesity, based on the hypothesis that this intervention enhances intracellular cAMP and cGMP signaling.

Methods: Adult C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: (i) lean, (ii) obese, and (iii) obese + MK571 (5 mg/kg/day, 14 days). The prostate was isolated for immunohistochemistry, biochemistry and functional assays.
