Association between polymorphisms in osteopontin gene (SPP1) and first episode calcium oxalate urolithiasis
submitted by kmohnkin 2 minutes ago - Topic: Health
We examined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in SPP1 gene are associated with risk of calcium oxalate urolithiasis (COU). We genotyped nine known SNPs in SPP1 gene (rs11739060, rs28357094, rs2728127, rs11730582, rs1126772, rs9138, rs2853744, rs4754=p.Asp80Asp, and rs1126616=p.Ala236...

Importance of Counteranions on the Hydration Structure of the Curium Ion
submitted by mpeipir 3 minutes ago - Topic: Biology
Using density functional theory based ab initio molecular dynamics and metadynamics, we show that counterions can trigger noticeable changes in the hydration shell structure of the curium ion. On the basis of the free energies of curium–water coordination, the eight-fold coordination state is d...
