Base Excision Repair01:54

Base Excision Repair

26.3K
One of the common DNA damages is the chemical alteration of single bases by alkylation, oxidation, or deamination. The altered bases cause mispairing and strand breakage during replication. This type of damage causes minimal change to the DNA double helix structure and can be repaired by the base excision repair (BER) pathways. BER corrects damaged DNA sequences by removing the damaged base and restoring the original base sequence using the complementary strand as a template.
The first step of...

Lewis Acids and Bases02:33

Lewis Acids and Bases

48.3K
In 1923, G. N. Lewis proposed a generalized definition of acid-base behavior in which acids and bases are identified by their ability to accept or to donate a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond.
A coordinate covalent bond (or dative bond) occurs when one of the atoms in the bond provides both bonding electrons. For example, a coordinate covalent bond occurs when a water molecule combines with a hydrogen ion to form a hydronium ion. A coordinate covalent bond also results when...

Weak Base Solutions

25.1K
Some compounds produce hydroxide ions when dissolved by chemically reacting with water molecules. In all cases, these compounds react only partially and so are classified as weak bases. These types of compounds are also abundant in nature and important commodities in various technologies. For example, global production of the weak base ammonia is typically well over 100 metric tons annually, being widely used as an agricultural fertilizer, a raw material for chemical synthesis of other...

Ions as Acids and Bases

Salts with Acidic Ions
Salts are ionic compounds composed of cations and anions, either of which may be capable of undergoing an acid or base ionization reaction with water. Aqueous salt solutions, therefore, may be acidic, basic, or neutral, depending on the relative acid-base strengths of the salt’s constituent ions. For example, dissolving the ammonium chloride in water results in its dissociation, as described by the equation:

Acid–Base Equilibria: Activity-Based Definition of pH01:10

Acid–Base Equilibria: Activity-Based Definition of pH

1.3K
For an ideal solution, the pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion concentration. For a non-ideal solution, an accurate measurement of the pH must consider the negative logarithm of the hydrogen ion activity rather than concentration. In such a solution, the pH can be more accurately defined as the negative logarithm of a product of the hydrogen ion concentration and its activity coefficient.
In solutions of very low ionic strength—for example, pure water—the...

Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Science
  • Materials Engineering
  • Medical Device Technology

Background:

  • Stainless steel (SS 316L) is the traditional material for balloon-expandable stents due to its mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.
  • Metallic glasses (MGs) offer superior mechanical properties and address limitations of SS 316L, including radiopacity and thrombosis risk.
  • Monolithic MGs lack ductility, hindering their use in stent applications, unlike nanoglasses with heterogeneous microstructures.

  • To evaluate the feasibility of a Zr64Cu36 nanoglass as a novel alloy for balloon-expandable stents.
  • To assess the suitability of nanoglasses for coronary artery stent deployment.
  • To compare nanoglass properties with traditional stent materials.

Main Methods:

  • Finite element method (FEM) modeling of the stent deployment process in a coronary artery.
  • Utilizing the BX-Velocity stent design for simulations.
  • Calculating nanoglass mechanical properties through atomistic simulations.

Main Results:

  • The Zr64Cu36 nanoglass demonstrated enhanced ductility, a critical factor for stent deployment.
  • FEM modeling indicated nanoglass suitability for the balloon-expandable stent application.
  • Nanoglasses overcome ductility limitations of monolithic metallic glasses.

Conclusions:

  • Metallic nanoglasses are suitable materials for balloon-expandable stent applications.
  • Nanoglasses present a promising alternative to conventional stent materials like SS 316L.
