Redox Catalysis Facilitates Lignin Depolymerization
Lignin is a recalcitrant and underexploited natural feedstock for aromatic commodity chemicals, and its degradation generally requires the use of high temperatures and harsh reaction conditions. Herein we present an ambient temperature one-pot process for the controlled oxidation and depolymerization of this potent resource. Harnessing the potential of electrocatalytic oxidation in conjugation ...
متن کاملBacterial Cell Wall-induced Immunosuppression
Asingle intraperitoneal injection of bacterial cell walls derived from groupA streptococci (SCW)' into susceptible rats results in the development of acute and chronic erosive polyarthritis (1, 2) . The pathology of the lesion leading to joint destruction has been shown to be aT cell-dependent, cell-mediated response to the deposition of the group A streptococcal peptidoglycan-polysaccharide po...

متن کاملBacterial cell wall composition and the influence of antibiotics by cell-wall and whole-cell NMR.
The ability to characterize bacterial cell-wall composition and structure is crucial to understanding the function of the bacterial cell wall, determining drug modes of action and developing new-generation therapeutics. Solid-state NMR has emerged as a powerful tool to quantify chemical composition and to map cell-wall architecture in bacteria and plants, even in the context of unperturbed inta...
متن کاملBacterial Cell Wall: Thinking Globally, Actin Locally
The bacterial actin-like protein MreB is thought to form a continuous helical polymer at the membrane to confer rod shape. Two new studies now show that MreB forms discrete dynamic patches that travel circumferentially.
