Introduction of a bulky lipophilic acyl entity at the 2'-OH position of both 1-beta-D-arabinofuranosylthymine (araT) and (E)-5-(2-bromovinyl)-1-beta-D-arabinofuranosyluracil (BVaraU), consistently resulted in a marked ( approximately 10-fold) increase in the inhibitory activity of these new arabinosyl nucleoside analogues for the mitochondrial

The industrial synthesis of ammonia (NH3) using iron-based Haber-Bosch catalyst requires harsh reaction conditions. Developing advanced catalysts that perform well at mild conditions (<400 °C, <2 MPa) for industrial application is a long-term goal. Here we report a Co-N-C catalyst with high

Evolutionary game theory is a powerful framework for studying evolution in populations of interacting individuals. A common assumption in evolutionary game theory is that interactions are symmetric, which means that the players are distinguished by only their strategies. In nature
