A study led by Dr. Marcelo I. Guzman and his team at the University of Kentucky has unveiled significant advancements in the ...

Catechol oxidases are ubiquitous plant enzymes containing a dinuclear copper center. In the wound-response mechanism of the plant they catalyze the oxidation of a broad range of ortho-diphenols to ...

Rice University scientists have tapped into nature's adhesive genius—the sticky power of mussels—to create bioengineered ...

Mussel-inspired adhesives have been developed before. These new versions are based on thiol-catechol polyaddition, which forms polymers with adhesive thiol-catechol connectivities (TCC ...

Does caffeic acid look like any of the organic compounds that have been used as photographic developers? Yes! It looks like a catechol molecule. For coffee to be used in the caffenol method, the film ...

New phase 3 results should reopen discussion about the off-label use of COMT inhibitors in early Parkinson's disease, experts ...

Mussel-inspired adhesives have been developed before. These new versions are based on thiol-catechol polyaddition, which forms polymers with adhesive thiol-catechol connectivities (TCC ...

Surviving terrestrial and ocean-dwelling microbes developed soluble siderophore molecules to regain access to this plentiful, but otherwise inaccessible essential resource, which used hydroxamate or ...

Nutritional compounds that modulate signaling pathways, such as nutrients that modulate the kisspeptin-gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pathway; nutrients that modulate the aryl hydrocarbon ...
