Spin-state transition, also known as spin crossover, plays a key role in diverse systems. In theory, the boundary range between the low- and high-spin states is expected to enrich the transition and give rise to unusual physical states. However, no compound that realizes a nearly degenerate critical range as the ground state without requiring special external conditions has yet been experimentally identified. This study reports that the Sc substitution in LaCoO3 destabilizes its nonmagnetic low-spin state and generates an anomalous paramagnetic state accompanied by the enhancement of transport gap and magneto-lattice-expansion as well as the contraction of Co-O distance with the increase of electron site transfer. These phenomena are not well described by the mixture of conventional low- and high-spin states, but by their quantum superposition occurring on the verge of a spin-state transition.

These results demonstrate that the RecF protein plays a crucial role in the homologous recombination repair process by facilitating RecA activation. Thus, the RecF and RecR proteins are involved in the RecA activation and the stability of incoming DNA, respectively, during RecA-mediated homologous recombination processes that initiated the ESDSA pathway in .

In an effort to gain an insight into the role of the RecFOR in DNA repair through homologous recombination in , we generated a RecFOR disruptant strains and characterized the disruption effects. The RecF disruptant strain exhibited sensitivity to DNA-damaging agents, suggesting that RecF has a crucial role in DNA repair. This result indicates that RecF takes an important role in the RecA activation in the homologous recombination process with DNA damage. While, the recombination assay revealed that RecR is essential for the process of homologous intermolecular recombination, suggesting that RecR is important factor in the homologous recombination process without DNA damage. The importance of RecF and RecR in the homologous recombination processes is reversed due to the existence of DNA damage. Therefore, will use the different homologous recombination processes through the RecFOR or RecOR, respectively.
