    Abstract RNA modifications are prevalent among all the classes of RNA, regulate diverse biological processes, and have emerged as a key regulatory mechanism in post-transcriptional control of gene expression. They are subjected to precise spatial and temporal control and shown to be critical for the maintenance of normal development and physiology. For example, m

    Abstract Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever (CCHF) is a tick-borne viral infection with no licensed vaccine or therapeutics available for its treatment. In the present study we have developed the first multi-epitope subunit vaccine effective against all the seven genotypes of CCHF virus (CCHFV). The vaccine contains five B-cell, two MHC-II (HTL), and three MHC-I (CTL) epitopes screened from two structural glycoproteins (Gc and Gn in M segment) of CCHFV with an N-terminus human β-defensin as an adjuvant, as well as an N-terminus EAAAK sequence. The epitopes were rigorously investigated for their antigenicity, allergenicity, IFN gamma induction, anti-inflammatory responses, stability, and toxicity. The three-dimensional structure of the vaccine was predicted and docked with TLR-3, TLR-8, and TLR-9 receptors to find the strength of the binding complexes via molecular dynamics simulation. After codon adaptation, the subunit vaccine construct was developed in a pDual-GC plasmid and has population coverage of 98.47% of the world's population (HLA-I & II combined). The immune simulation studies were carried out on the C-ImmSim in-silico interface showing a marked increase in the production of cellular and humoral response (B-cell and T-cell) as well as TGFβ, IL-2, IL-10, and IL-12 indicating that the proposed vaccine would be able to sufficiently provoke both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Thus, making it a new and promising vaccine candidate against CCHFV.

    Abstract Adulteration of meat products is a delicate issue for people around the globe. The mixing of lard in meat causes a significant problem for end users who are sensitive to halal meat consumption. Due to the highly similar lipid profiles of meat species, the identification of adulteration becomes more difficult. Therefore, a comprehensive spectral detailing of meat species is required, which can boost the adulteration detection process. The experiment was conducted by distributing samples labeled as "Pure (80 samples)" and "Adulterated (90 samples)". Lard was mixed with the ratio of 10-50%

    Abstract Colonization of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacteriaceae as animal gut microbiota is a substantial global threat. This study aimed to determine the molecular characterization of blaSHV, blaTEM, and blaCTX-M variants in animals, as well as to evaluate the antimicrobial resistance conferred by these genes. We prospectively analyzed 1273 fecal specimens of farm and domestic animals for the isolation of enterobacteria that had the ESBL phenotype by using biochemical methods. The extracted genes were amplified by polymerase chain reaction and sequenced for the characterization of blaSHV, blaTEM, and blaCTX-M variants. The drug-resistance spectrum and hierarchical clusters were analyzed against 19 antibacterial agents. Out of 245 (19.2%) ESBL enterobacteria, 180 (75.5%) Escherichia coli and 34 (13.9%) Klebsiella pneumoniae were prevalent species. A total of 73.9% blaCTX-M, 26.1% blaTEM, and 14.2% blaSHV were found among the enterobacteria; however, their association with farm or domestic animals was not statistically significant. The distribution of bla gene variants showed the highest number of blaCTX-M-1 (133; 54.3%), followed by blaCTX-M-15 (28; 11.4%), blaTEM-52 (40; 16.3%), and blaSHV-12 (22; 9%). In addition, 84.5% of the enterobacteria had the integrons intI1. We observed ±100% enterobacteria resistant to cephalosporin, 7 (2.9%) to colistin (minimum inhibitory concentration breakpoint ≥4 μg/mL), 9 (3.7%) to piperacillin-tazobactam, 11 (4.5%) to imipenem, 14 (5.7%) to meropenem, and 18 (7.3%) to cefoperazone-sulbactam, without statistically significant association. Animal gut microbiota contain a considerable number of blaCTX-M, blaTEM, blaSHV, and integrons, which are a potential source of acquired extensive drug resistance in human strains and leaves fewer therapeutic substitutes.

    Abstract Catalytic amine regeneration has recently emerged as an effective strategy to improve CO₂ desorption at low temperatures. In this work, we synthesized inexpensive M-montmorillonite (M = Cr, Fe, and Co) catalysts via a facile metal ion-exchange process and used these to optimize the CO₂ desorption rate of a 30 wt % monoethanolamine (MEA) solution at a moderate temperature (∼86 °C). The metal ion-exchange process led to Si and Al leaching from the aluminosilicate layers and cation removal from the Mont interlayers, resulting in an increase in the surface acidity, mesoporosity, and total surface area of the ion-exchanged Mont catalysts. The prepared catalysts introduce acid sites to amine solution that can attach with the carbamate, carbonate, and bicarbonates, to favor the CO₂ desorption at low temperatures. Overall, the CO₂ desorption rate and the total amount of released CO₂ were improved up to 315 and 82.5%, respectively, whereas the regeneration energy penalty was reduced by 40%, in comparison with the noncatalytic MEA solution. The impact of various physicochemical catalytic properties on the CO₂ desorption performance was also evaluated. The stability of the prepared catalysts was verified in five cyclic uses and no change in the catalytic activity or structure was detected. In addition, the catalysts were readily separable by simple filtration. This work introduces an effective strategy to design abundant and cost-effective catalysts for energy-efficient CO₂ capture.

    Abstract A series of small pure Auₘ (2 ≥ m ≤ 7) and copper-doped Auₘ₋ₓCuₓ clusters was evaluated by density functional theory (DFT) at the CAM-B3LYP/LANL2DZ level for their geometric, electronic, and nonlinear optical (NLO) properties. The charge transfer for the Au cluster significantly improved by reducing the HOMO–LUMO energy gap from 3.67 eV to 0.91 eV after doping with Cu atoms. The doping of Cu also showed noteworthy impacts on other optical and NLO properties, including a decrease in the excitation energy and increase in the dipole moment and oscillator strength. Furthermore, changes in the linear isotropic and anisotropic polarizabilities (αᵢₛₒ and αₐₙᵢₛₒ) and first and second NLO hyperpolarizabilities (βₛₜₐₜᵢc, γₛₜₐₜᵢc) were also observed in the pure and Cu-doped clusters, which enhanced the NLO response. The nonlinear optical properties of the clusters were evaluated by calculating the static and frequency dependent second- and third-order NLO polarizabilities at 1064 nm wavelength. Among all the doped structures, the Au₃Cu₁ cluster showed the largest static first hyperpolarizability of β₍ₜₒₜₐₗ₎ = 4.73 × 10³ au, while the Au₁Cu₆ cluster showed frequency dependent first hyperpolarizability of β₍₋₂w;w,w₎ = 1.26 × 10⁶ au. Besides this, large static and frequency-dependent second hyperpolarizability values of 6.30 × 10⁵ au and 1.05 × 10 au were exhibited by Cu₇ and Au₁Cu₆, respectively. This study offers an effective approach to design high-performance NLO materials utilizing mixed metal clusters which might have broad applications in the fields of optoelectronics and electronics.
