Abstract

5'-ribonucleotides including adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP), cytidine 5'-monophsphate (CMP), guanosine 5'-monophosphate (GMP) and uridine 5'-monophosphate (UMP) have been widely used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. This work focused on the assessment of mass transfer process and separation mechanism of four 5'-ribonucleotides and counter-ion Na+ on the strong cation exchange resin NH-1. The intraparticle diffusion was determined as the rate-limiting step for the mass transfer of AMP, CMP, GMP, and Na+ on the resin NH-1 through the Boyd model. Meanwhile, a homogeneous surface diffusion model (HSDM) combing ion exchange and physical adsorption was proposed and tested against adsorption kinetic data in the batch adsorption systems. The fixed-bed film-surface diffusion model based on the HSDM was then developed and successfully predicted the concentration profiles of 5'-ribonucleotides and the change of pH at the outlet of the fixed-bed in the dynamic adsorption and separation process. Finally, the separation mechanism of 5'-ribonucleotides was presented combining model prediction and experimental results. The separation of UMP, GMP and CMP were mainly based on their differences in isoelectric points, while that of AMP...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
