The Regulation governing the procedures for the cultivation of cannabis for the production of flowers and leaves to obtain active pharmaceutical ingredients has entered into force. The Regulation also includes provisions on production conditions and the trade of pharmaceutical active substances.

Polymer Principles Behind Solubilizing Lignin With Organic Cosolvents for Bioenergy Lignin solubilization is key to a viable biorefinery because its removal leads to facile deconstruction of biomass and because the isolated lignin can serve to derive precursors of novel high-value materials. The mixing of organic solvents with water has been shown to improve biomass fractionation and lignin conversion reactions.

Motional displacements of hydrogen (H) in proteins can be measured using incoherent neutron-scattering methods. These displacements can also be calculated numerically using data from molecular dynamics simulations. An enormous amount of data on the average mean-square motional displacement (MSD) of H as a function of protein temperature, hydration, and other conditions has been collected. H resides in a wide spectrum of sites in a protein.
