Bacterial biofilms provoke and/or promote the most chronic and recurrent infectious diseases. Previously, experimental models of purulent peritonitis and meningoencephalitis revealed positive antibiofilm effect of metallic nanoparticles and the absence of resistance against such nanoparticles in microorganisms.

The human obesity susceptibility gene, FTO, encodes a protein that is homologous to the DNA repair AlkB protein. The AlkB family proteins utilize iron(II), alpha-ketoglutarate (alpha-KG) and dioxygen to perform oxidative repair of alkylated nucleobases in DNA and RNA. We

The gas-phase substitution reactions of methyl chloride and 1,3-dimethyluracil (at the N1-CH(3)) are examined computationally and experimentally. It is found that, although hydrochloric acid and 3-methyluracil are similar in acidity, the leaving group abilities of chloride and N1-deprotonated 3-methyluracil are
