Keywords cytoplasm protein agglomeration amino acid metabolism single-particle tracking intracellular diffusion Introduction The cytoplasm is a packed environment where, in bacteria, macromolecules such as proteins and RNA reach concentrations of ∼300 and ∼100 g/L, respectively, and volume fractions of up to 20%.1,2,3,4 This molecular crowding influences cytoplasmic rheology, i.e., how the cytoplasm flows and deforms.

Introduction Click to copy section linkSection link copied! The glass transition has been extensively explored by researchers in the present era of condensed matter physics. In this respect, colloidal particles serve as ideal glass formers in the realm of this research. (1,2) When particle interactions are driven by volume exclusion, glass-like properties mainly arise from particle packing.

An Exploration of the Electrocatalytic Activity of Nickel Boride Nanocrystals in the Oxidation of 5-HMF In this work, we investigated the inherent electrocatalytic activity of nickel borides in an important reaction in the context of electrochemical valorization of biomass as the oxidation of hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) to furan dicarboxylic acid (FDCA).
