Nucleation during solidification is heterogeneous in nature in an overwhelmingly large fraction of all solidification events. Yet, most often the identity of the heterogeneous nucleants that initiate nucleation remains a matter of speculation. In fact, a series of dedicated experiments needs to be designed in order to…
We describe a modification of the tandem affinity purification method for purification and analysis of multiprotein complexes, termed here DEF-TAP (for differential elution fractionation after tandem affinity purification). Its essential new feature is the use for last purification step of 6xHis-Ni(++) interaction, wh…
We experimentally observe magnetic resonance in the visible frequency region from self-assembled silver nanocluster metamaterials. Extensive numerical modeling studies were conducted to find the optimal nanocluster dimensions. Self-assembly of silver nanoparticles coated with nanoscale silica coating was then performe…
Microphase separation of a polystyrene-block-polyisoprene-block-polystyrene triblock copolymer thin film under confined conditions (i.e., graphoepitaxy) results in ordered periodic arrays of polystyrene cylinders aligned parallel to the channel side-wall and base in a polyisoprene matrix. Polymer orientation and trans…
Abstract Dendritic polymers' highly specific and three‐dimensional architectures set them apart from linear and slightly branched polymers. Their unique properties also allow them to form hierarchical organizations, which can be classified as planar or non‐planar. The preparation of a planar hierarchy consisting of de…
A pyridine-N-oxide functionalized DOTA analogue has been conjugated to a calix[4]arene and the corresponding Gd-complex was characterized with respect to its suitability as MRI contrast agent. The compound forms spherical micelles in water with a cmc of 35 microM and a radius of 8.2 nm. The relaxivity of these aggrega…
Structural knowledge of the high-temperature phases of saturated carboxylic acids (C(n)H(2n-1)O(2)H) from C(6)H(11)O(2)H to C(23)H(45)O(2)H is now complete. Crystal structures of the high-temperature phases of even acids from decanoic (C(10)H(19)O(2)H) to eicosanoic (C(20)H(39)O(2)H) are reported. The crystal structur…
The shape of dendrimer amphiphiles has an unexpected effect on their self-assembly. A series of diaminobutane poly(propylenimine) generation 3 dendrimer (DAB-dendr-(NH(2))(16)) amphiphiles has been synthesized, bearing an average of five (PD5), three (PD3) and one (PD1) palmitoyl group(s) per dendrimer molecule. Addit…
BACKGROUND: Schiff bases can be formed by reaction between acylamino and the amino group with microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) as catalyst and used in protein crosslinking in the food industry. A novel chitosan-gelatin copolymer for coating meat products can be synthesised using MTGase as catalyst, with the charact…
Abstract PolyHIPE materials are produced by polymerizing the continuous phase of emulsions where the internal phase volume fraction is higher than 74%. Columns of flow‐through supports for immobilized scavengers and reagents were prepared by polymerizing the continuous phase of high internal phase emulsions containing…
ZnO monodispersed microspheres exhibiting only a c (+)-plane on the surface were successfully synthesized by a novel soft-chemical solvothermal method with ethylene glycol (EG) and hexamethylenetetramine. The concentration of EG plays a critical role in the formation of these spherical particles. The spherical particl…
We examine binary mixtures of superparamagnetic colloidal particles confined to a two-dimensional water-air interface both by real-space experiments and Monte Carlo computer simulations at high coupling strength. In the simulations, the interaction is modelled as a pairwise dipole-dipole repulsion. While the ratio of…
Molecular dynamics simulations of liquid silica and beryllium fluoride are performed using the van Beest-Kramer-van Santen and transferable rigid ion model potentials, respectively, in order to compare transport properties. The ionic conductivity (sigma), shear viscosity (eta) and ionic self-diffusivities (D(+/-)) are…
An efficient route to the direct amination at the inner carbon of carbaporpholactone is reported. A regioselectivity of substitution is enforced by activation of the embedded furanone fragment due to coordination of the highly oxidized silver(III) cation. A stepwise oxidation of the dimethylamine derivative leads to t…
A number of complementary approaches for the assignment of Ile, Leu, and Val methyl groups in Methyl-TROSY spectra of supra-molecular protein complexes are presented and compared. This includes the transfer of assignments from smaller fragments to the complex using a "divide-and-conquer" approach, assignment transfer…
Abstract We report the observation of a cubic phase consistent with the double gyroid structure in strongly segregated diblock copolymers of PS‐ b ‐PDMS over a volume fraction ( φ PDMS ) range of ∼0.39 to 0.45. The samples have respective molecular weights of 127 kg/mol and 73 kg/mol and degree of segregation Nχ equal…
We present a method for improving femtomole-level trace detection (10(9) molecules) using large-area surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) substrates. Using multiphoton-induced exposure of a commercial photoresist, we physically limit the available molecular adsorption sites to only the electromagnetic "hot spots"…
We review recent work on the phase behaviour of binary charged sphere mixtures as a function of particle concentration and composition. Both size ratios Γ and charge ratios Λ are varied over a wide range. Unlike the case for hard spheres, the long-ranged Coulomb interaction stabilizes the crystal phase at low particle…
Single crystals of CeFeAsO, large enough to study the anisotropy of the magnetic properties, were grown by an optimized Sn-flux technique. The high quality of our single crystals is apparent from the highest residual resistivity ratio (RRR)≈12, reported among undoped R FeAsO compounds ( R =rare earth) as well as sharp…
A recently developed atomistic method capable of calculating the fragile (non-Arrhenius) temperature behavior of highly viscous liquids is further tested by studying a model of SiO(2), a glass former well known for its Arrhenius temperature behavior (strong). The method predicts an Arrhenius temperature variation, in…
