Due to high concentrations of numerous harmful and hazardous pollutants, particularly
heavy metals, industrial wastewater has become a major problem. Heavy metal pollution …

Wastewater effluents from mines and metal refineries are often contaminated with heavy
metal ions, so they pose hazards to human and environmental health. Conventional …

Double Holliday junctions (dHJS) are important intermediates of homologous
recombination. The separate junctions can each be cleaved by DNA structure-selective …

Mutations in BLM cause Bloom's syndrome, a disorder associated with cancer
predisposition and chromosomal instability. We investigated whether BLM plays a role in …

The DNA topoisomerases are essential for DNA replication, transcription, recombination, as
well as for chromosome compaction and segregation. They may have appeared early during …

The Bloom syndrome helicase BLM interacts with topoisomerase IIIα (TOP3A), RMI1 and
RMI2 to form the BTR complex, which dissolves double Holliday junctions to produce non …

Developing highly efficient and stable platinum-based electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction
reaction (ORR) is critical to expediting commercialization of fuel cells. Herein, several PtCu …

Removal of hazardous metals through biological means has received considerable attention
in the last few decades. Nevertheless, only a fraction of these studies employed growing …

Our cells are constantly exposed to insults from endogenous and exogenous agents that
can introduce damage into our DNA and generate genomic instability. Many of these lesions …

Topoisomerases are crucial for solving DNA topological problems, but they have not been
linked to RNA metabolism. Here we show that human topoisomerase 3β (Top3β) is an RNA …
