We describe a method for the diagnosis of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorders that is based on the analysis of acylcarnitine and acyl-coenzyme A (acyl-CoA) esters generated during fatty acid oxidation by permeabilized skin fibroblasts. This method requires only small amounts of cultured fibroblasts with minimal preparation, and no isolation of mitochondrial fractions is necessary. Duri...

A novel method based on in situ synchrotron radiation photoionization mass spectrometry has been developed to capture the nascent intermediates during photocatalytic methane oxidation over Ag-ZnO. The results shed light overoxidation and self-coupling reaction mechanism of •CH3, as described by Chengyuan Liu, Yang Pan et al. their Research Article (e202304352).

The adsorption and photocatalytic degradation of trimethyl phosphate (TMP) triethyl (TEP), two environmentally relevant model pollutants, have been studied on commercial anatase TiO2 sulfate-terminated nanoparticles by means operando diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform (DRIFT) spectroscopy 2D correlation (2D COS). It is concluded that both TMP TEP adsorb dissociatively TiO2, while th...

Amine radical cations are highly useful reactive intermediates in amine synthesis. They have displayed several modes of reactivity leading to some highly sought-after synthetic intermediates including iminium ions, α-amino radicals, and distonic ions. One appealing method to access amine radical cations is through one-electron oxidation of the corresponding amines under visible light photoredox...
