Abstract Metallo-nucleic acids have been investigated for their applications in the field of nanodevices and genetic expansion. The cytosine-Ag+-cytosine mismatch base pair interactions and their stability in nucleic acids have attracted the attention of chemists. We report a systematic study of canonical, mismatch, Ag+ mediated system with CC, AT, and GC base pairs computationally. The stability of such mismatch base pairs is dependent on the pH range ~5 to 9 and the duplexes beyond this range are unstable. The DFT calculations performed with the model DNA duplexes comprising of such mismatch pairs reveal the stability trend while varying the pH conditions. The stability of canonical Watson-Crick ATGC base pairs was compared with the CCAT and CCGC mismatch base pairs and the calculated results at B3LYP-D3/6-31G* level of theory in the aqueous phase suggest that the base stacking and hydrogen bonding are well maintained in the former case, however, the larger perturbations in the geometry are observed with the mispair and relatively unstable. The calculated binding energy at B3LYP/6-31G* level of theory of ATGC is energetically more stable (~15 kcal/mol) than the mismatch base pairs. The Ag+ mediated mismatch base pairs i.e., C_CAT and C_CGC examined at the same level of theory suggest that the CC mismatch base pairs complexed with proper alignment to the Ag+ ion and the AT and GC bases maintained the hydrogen bonding interactions. The mismatched base pair duplex systems i.e., C_CAT and C_CGC are structurally similar to the canonical Watson-Crick base pairs and energetically stable by ~40 and ~50 kcal/mol compared to the canonical ATGC base pairs. The experimental report on the thermal transition profile in 5’-(A)10C(A)10-3’ and 5’ (T)10C(T)10-3’ duplexes showed remarkable stability and corroborate the calculated results.[1] The stability of Ag+ mediated mismatch bases at the higher pH 9 was also examined and the nucleobases such as guanine and thymine would be deprotonated under this condition. The calculated results suggest that the CCA_T and CCG_C duplexes are largely distorted with the complexation of Ag+ with the AT and GC base pairs and would in turn denature the duplex. The AIM analysis performed at B3LYP-D3/6-31G* level of theory for all the studied Ag+ mediated complexes reveals that the Ag+ interaction with the corresponding nucleobases was electrostatic in nature. The role of pH in governing the stability of C-Ag+-C complex formation in mismatch base nucleic acids is crucial for their application of genetic expansion and nucleic acid-based nanodevices.

SummaryCase reports cited in Medline or Biological Abstracts (1966-1996) were reviewed to evaluate the impact of vitamin K1 dietary intake on the stability of anticoagulant control in patients using coumarin derivatives. Reported nutrient-drug interactions cannot always be explained by the vitamin K1 content of the food items. However, metabolic data indicate that a consistent dietary intake of vitamin K is important to attain a daily equilibrium in vitamin K status. We report a diet that provides a stable intake of vitamin K1, equivalent to the current U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance, using food composition data derived from high-performance liquid chromatography. Inconsistencies in the published literature indicate that prospective clinical studies should be undertaken to clarify the putative dietary vitamin K1-coumarin interaction. The dietary guidelines reported here may be used in such studies.

One of the main criteria for economic development is the size of the public debt and its dynamics. The article considers the impact of public debt on the financial security of Ukraine. The views of scientists on the essence of public debt and financial security of the state are substantiated. An analysis of the dynamics and structure of public debt of Ukraine for 2014-2019. It is proved that one of the main criteria for economic development is the size of public debt and its dynamics. State budget deficit, attracting and using loans to cover it have led to the formation and significant growth of public debt in Ukraine. The volume of public debt indicates an increase in the debt security of the state, which is a component of financial security. Therefore, the issue of the impact of public debt on the financial security of Ukraine is becoming increasingly relevant. The constant growth and large amounts of debt make it necessary to study it, which will have a positive impact on economic processes that will ensure the stability of the financial system and enhance its security.

The article examines the impact of internal and external risks on the stability of the financial system of the Altai Territory. Classification of internal and external risks of decline, affecting the sustainable development of the financial system, is presented. A risk management strategy is proposed that will allow monitoring of risks, thereby these measures will help reduce the loss of financial stability and ensure the long-term development of the economy of the region.

Appropriate pretreatment of proteins and addition of xanthan gum (XG) has the potential to improve the stability of oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions. However, the factors that regulate the enhancement and the mechanism are still not clear, which restricts the realization of improving the emulsion stability by directional design of its structure. Therefore, the effects of whey protein micro-gel particles (WPMPs) and WPMPs-XG complexes on the stability of O/W emulsion were investigated in this article to provide theoretical support. WPMPs with different structures were prepared by pretreatment (controlled high-speed shear treatment of heat-set WPC gels) at pH 3.5–8.5. The impact of initial WPC structure and XG addition on Turbiscan Indexes, mean droplet size and the peroxide values of O/W emulsions was investigated. The results indicate that WPMPs and XG can respectively inhibit droplet coalescence and gravitational separation to improve the physical stability of WPC-stabilized O/W emulsions. The pretreatment significantly enhanced the oxidative stability of WPC-stabilized O/W emulsions. The addition of XG did not necessarily enhance the oxidative stability of O/W emulsions. Whether the oxidative stability of the O/W emulsion with XG is increased or decreased depends on the interface structure of the protein-XG complex. This study has significant implications for the development of novel structures containing lipid phases that are susceptible to oxidation.
