Hydrolysis of the phosphodiester linkages in DNA is a notoriously difficult reaction. Deoxyribozymes that use Zn 2+ and Mn 2+ ions to accelerate this reaction by a factor of one hundred million ...

The enzymatic hydrolysis of DNA phosphodiester bonds has been widely studied, but the chemical reaction has not yet been observed. Here we follow the generation of a DNA double-strand break (DSB ...

This article demonstrates the potential of this tool by establishing some kinetic and thermodynamic properties of ester ...

In this paper, AlN powders produced via three major commercial processes have been used to investigate their hydrolysis behaviors in moist air at room temperature. This study provided insight into the ...

Alkaline hydrolysis is a form of flameless cremation ... in liquid form and 95% water to generate an accelerated chemical reaction emulating what happens when bodies are buried in the Earth ...

Alkaline hydrolysis liquefies the body using water and lye. It's considered a "greener" approach to burial than cremation. While it hasn't caught on widely yet, some consider it the burial method ...

But water cremation — or alkaline hydrolysis — is legal in 28 other states, and its ecological benefits have piqued the interest of a growing number of Texans. So much so that a few years ago ...

When the funeral home approached Rep. Michelle Udall about alkaline hydrolysis, she said she’d never heard of it. "After they explained the process, I didn’t see any reason we should stop ...
