TL;DR: The synthesis, structure, and mechanism of action of thyroid hormones and their analogues are discussed, and several experimental and theoretical investigations revealed that the selone in the selenium analogues is more polarized than the thione in the sulfur compounds, and the se lones exist predominantly in their zwitterionic forms.
Abstract: Thyroid hormones are essential for the development and differentiation of all cells of the human body. They regulate protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. In this Account, we discuss the synthesis, structure, and mechanism of action of thyroid hormones and their analogues.The prohormone thyroxine (T4) is synthesized on thyroglobulin by thyroid peroxidase (TPO), a heme enzyme that uses iodide and hydrogen peroxide to perform iodination and phenolic coupling reactions. The monodeiodination of T4 to 3,3′,5-triiodothyronine (T3) by selenium-containing deiodinases (ID-1, ID-2) is a key step in the activation of thyroid hormones. The type 3 deiodinase (ID-3) catalyzes the deactivation of thyroid hormone in a process that removes iodine selectively from the tyrosyl ring of T4 to produce 3,3′,5′-triiodothyronine (rT3). Several physiological and pathological stimuli influence thyroid hormone synthesis. The overproduction of thyroid hormones leads to hyperthyroidism, which is treated by antithyroid drugs that ...

TL;DR: Enhanced erosion resistance of HEA was attributed to its high work-hardening behavior and stable passivation film on the surface and no evidence of intergranular corrosion likely due to the absence of secondary precipitates.

TL;DR: This comprehensive review presents results of many such developments in this fast-growing field including endohedrally doped Al, Ga, and In clusters, and performs ab initio calculations to present updated results of the most stable atomic structures and fundamental electronic properties of the endohedral doped cage clusters.
Abstract: The discovery of carbon fullerene cages and their solids opened a new avenue to build materials from stable cage clusters as “artificial atoms” or “superatoms” instead of atoms. However, cage clust...

TL;DR: In this article, the key developments in the field of thermoelectric materials and on-going research work on STEG design conducted by various researchers to date are critically reviewed and highlighted the strategic research directions being undertaken to make highly efficient thermoeetics materials for developing a cost-effective STEG system, which could serve to bring this technology towards commercial readiness.
Abstract: Due to the fact that much of the world's best solar resources are inversely correlated with population centers, significant motivation exists for developing technology which can deliver reliable and autonomous conversion of sunlight into electricity. Thermoelectric generators are gaining incremental ground in this area since they do not require moving parts and work well in remote locations. Thermoelectric materials have been extensively used in space satellites, automobiles, and, more recently, in solar thermal applications as power generators, known as solar thermoelectric generators (STEG). STEG systems are gaining significant interest in both concentrated and non-concentrated systems and have been employed in hybrid configurations with solar thermal and photovoltaic systems. In this article, the key developments in the field of thermoelectric materials and on-going research work on STEG design conducted by various researchers to date are critically reviewed. Finally, we highlight the strategic research directions being undertaken to make highly efficient thermoelectric materials for developing a cost-effective STEG system, which could serve to bring this technology towards commercial readiness.
