High- and low-mobility stages in the synaptic vesicle cycle.
Synaptic vesicles need to be mobile to reach their release sites during synaptic activity. We investigated vesicle mobility throughout the synaptic vesicle cycle using both conventional and subdiffraction-resolution stimulated emission depletion fluorescence microscopy. Vesicle tracking revealed that recently endocytosed synaptic vesicles are highly mobile for a substantial time period after endocytosis. They later undergo a maturation process and integrate into vesicle clusters where they exhibit little mobility. Despite the differences in mobility, both recently endocytosed and mature vesicles are exchanged between synapses. Electrical stimulation does not seem to affect the mobility of the two types of vesicles. After exocytosis, the vesicle material is mobile in the plasma membrane, although the movement appears to be somewhat limited. Increasing the proportion of fused vesicles (by stimulating exocytosis while simultaneously blocking endocytosis) leads to substantially higher mobility. We conclude that both high- and low-mobility states are characteristic of synaptic vesicle movement
Classification and stability of simple homoclinic cycles in R^5
The paper presents a complete study of simple homoclinic cycles in R^5. We
find all symmetry groups Gamma such that a Gamma-equivariant dynamical system
in R^5 can possess a simple homoclinic cycle. We introduce a classification of
simple homoclinic cycles in R^n based on the action of the system symmetry
group. For systems in R^5, we list all classes of simple homoclinic cycles. For
each class, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for asymptotic
stability and fragmentary asymptotic stability in terms of eigenvalues of
linearisation near the steady state involved in the cycle. For any action of
the groups Gamma which can give rise to a simple homoclinic cycle, we list
classes to which the respective homoclinic cycles belong, thus determining
conditions for asymptotic stability of these cycles.Comment: 34 pp., 4 tables, 30 references. Submitted to Nonlinearit
H2 as a fuel for flavin- and H2O2-dependent biocatalytic reactions
The soluble hydrogenase from Ralstonia eutropha provides an atom efficient regeneration system for reduced flavin cofactors using H2 as an electron source. We demonstrated this system for highly selective ene-reductase-catalyzed C[double bond, length as m-dash]C-double bond reductions and monooxygenase-catalyzed epoxidation. Reactions were expanded to aerobic conditions to supply H2O2 for peroxygenase-catalyzed hydroxylations.DFG, 284111627, H2-basierende Kaskaden für die Biosynthese von N-HeterocyclenDFG, 405325648, ,Engineering von O2-toleranten Hydrogenasen und ihre physiologischen Auswirkungen in rekombinanten Bakterien im Hinblick auf die Hydrogenase-abhängige NAD(P)H-Regeneration und H2-ProduktionDFG, 390540038, EXC 2008: UniSysCatTU Berlin, Open-Access-Mittel - 202
Kinetics Study of the Hydrodeoxygenation of Xylitol over a ReO\u3csub\u3ex\u3c/sub\u3e-Pd/CeO\u3csub\u3e2\u3c/sub\u3e Catalyst
In this study, we elucidate the reaction kinetics for the simultaneous hydrodeoxygenation of xylitol to 1,2-dideoxypentitol and 1,2,5-pentanetriol over a ReOx-Pd/CeO2 (2.0 weight% Re, 0.30 weight% Pd) catalyst. The reaction was determined to be a zero-order reaction with respect to xylitol. The activation energy was elucidated through an Arrhenius relationship as well as non-Arrhenius kinetics. The Arrhenius relationship was investigated at 150–170◦ C and a constant H2 pressure of 10 bar resulting in an activation energy of 48.7 ± 10.5 kJ/mol. The investigation of non-Arrhenius kinetics was conducted at 120–170◦ C and a sub-Arrhenius relation was elucidated with activation energy being dependent on temperature, and ranging from 10.2–51.8 kJ/mol in the temperature range investigated. Internal and external mass transfer were investigated through evaluating the Weisz–Prater criterion and the effect of varying stirring rate on the reaction rate, respectively. There were no internal or external mass transfer limitations present in the reaction

The Effects of Ceria Loading on Three-Way Catalysts for Passive SCR Operation
Passive SCR systems, which employ both a three-way catalyst and SCR catalyst, are effective for the reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from lean burn gasoline engines. However, questions remain regarding the effect of three-way catalyst formulations on their performance in these systems. Here, Pd/CeOx/Al2O3 catalysts with variable CeOx loading were synthesized, characterized, and evaluated to determine the effects of CeOx on catalyst performance. While a small amount of ceria was beneficial for promoting essential reactions, excess ceria was detrimental due to the increase in oxygen storage capacity. Additionally, insights into potential reaction pathways for NH3 production were determined
