Ga3+ Replacing of Fe3+ as a “Trojan Horse” Antimicrobial Strategy: Modeling the Process within Bacterial Catalase–Peroxidase KatG

Abstract Replacement of Fe3+ by Ga3+ has emerged as a promising “Trojan horse” antimicrobial strategy in response to the growing threat of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Because many bacterial proteins hijack host iron to sustain essential redox processes, substitution with redox...

Structure and ac conductivity of K-for-Na ion-exchanged sodium borate glasses

This work addresses structural and ionic transport properties of ion-exchanged borate glasses at temperatures below the glass transition, T g . Analysis of the infrared reflectance spectra of the K-for-Na ion-exchanged glass 0.3Na 2 O-0.7B 2 O 3 revealed short-range order structu...
