TL;DR: This is the first report of preliminary crystallization data for a snake venom L-amino acid oxidase, which has apoptosis-inducing activity in an HL-60 cell culture assay and is a dimer on gel filtration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of ethanol into commodity chemicals is discussed, such as polyethylene, propylene, 1,3-butadiene, and acetic acid.
Abstract: Brazil and the USA are the major bioethanol producers in the world, and the main application of this alcohol is as fuel. Since Brazilian ethanol is the cheapest in the world, there is a crescent interest in its use as a building block for biorefineries. Bioethanol can be used for the direct production of drop-in chemicals, such as ethylene, propylene, 1,3-butadiene and larger hydrocarbons, as well as for the production of oxygenated molecules, such as 1-butanol, ethyl acetate, acetaldehyde, and acetic acid. In this critical review, the development of heterogeneous catalysts for the conversion of ethanol into these commodity chemicals will be discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, PANI-based layer-by-layer (LbL) films were employed to detect dopamine (DA) using cyclic voltammetry and showed additional redox peaks at ca. 230 and 190mV.
Abstract: Nanostructured polyaniline-modified electrodes were fabricated via the electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) technique where polyaniline (PANI) was assembled with one of three tetrasulfonated metallic phthalocyanines, viz. iron (FeTsPc), nickel (NiTsPc) and copper (CuTsPc). The multilayer formation was monitored via UV–vis spectroscopy by measuring the increase in the 800 nm absorption band due to PANI. Infrared spectroscopy in the transmission mode suggested specific interactions between PANI and the phthalocyanines, such as those between SO3− groups from the phthalocyanines and the protonated NH group from PANI. The films were employed to detect dopamine (DA) using cyclic voltammetry. In the presence of dopamine the PANI-based LbL films showed additional redox peaks at ca. 230 and 190 mV. The oxidation peak increased linearly with the concentration of DA in the electrolytic solution. Films comprising PANI/FeTsPc were able to distinguish between DA and ascorbic acid (AA), which acts as a natural interferent in biological fluids.

TL;DR: Polyurethane resin derived from castor oil was used to prepare a graphite composite intented to be applied in voltammetry, and the best graphite/resin content in the composite showed to be also useful in flow procedures.
