The advent of atomic force microscopy (AFM) has provided a powerful tool for investigating the behaviors of single native biological molecules under physiological conditions. AFM can not only image the conformational changes of single biological molecules at work with sub-nanometer resolution, but also sense the specific interactions of individual molecular pair with piconewton force sensitivit...

Ganoderma boninense is a fungal pathogen that causes basal stem rot (BSR) disease in oil palm. Being serious problem to the palm industry, monitoring and detecting of utmost importance reduce spread facilitate effective management strategies. Because traditional culture-based assay time-consuming, labour-intensive required special skills mycology, plant pathologists are turning more accurate, s...

Condensed tannins (CTs) form insoluble complexes with proteins and are able to protect them from degradation, which could lead to rumen bypass proteins. Depending on their degrees of polymerization (DP) and molecular weights, CT fractions vary in their capability to bind proteins. In this study, purified condensed tannins (CTs) from a Leucaena leucocephala hybrid were fractionated into five dif...

The turfgrass industry has undergone a rapid development in Guangdong province, China, which the largest number of golf courses country. Recent surveys turfgrasses province revealed five plant-parasitic nematodes that are prevalent: Helicotylenchus dihystera, Mesocriconema xenoplax, Meloidogyne graminis, Hemicriconemoides rosae and Tylenchorhynchus leviterminalis. most prevalent species M. xeno...

Molecular medical imaging is intended to increase the accuracy of diagnosis, particularly in cardiovascular and cancer-related diseases, where early detection could significantly treatment success rate. In this study, we present mixed micelles formed from four building blocks as a magnetic resonance targeted contrast agent for atheroma cancer cells. The are gadolinium-loaded DOTA ring responsib...
