We reported that per-6-folic acid (FA)-appended β-cyclodextrin (β-CyD) possessing two caproic acids between FA and a β-CyD molecule as a spacer (Fol-c2-β-CyD) could be useful as a promising antitumor drug carrier. However, the effects of the cavity size and the spacer length on the carrier ability are not still known.…

It is well known that the Sb–Te binary system has a large number of incommensurately or commensurately modulated structures between Sb and Sb2Te3 compounds. These structures, which are long‐period trigonal stacking structures, possess their own modulation period γ, according to their composition in the thermal equilib…

Together we shine: Fluorescence color change of 4-[bis(4-methylphenyl)amino]benzaldehyde (BMABA) could be induced by vigorous stirring and heating of the suspension. This is attributed to a morphological change of the particles from an amorphous state to a crystalline state; therefore, BMABA is identified as a new agg…

Surface segregation of Pt is investigated in nanoporous metals formed by dealloying of Ag-Au-Pt alloys. By exposing freshly-dealloyed nanostructures to surprisingly low temperatures in the presence of laboratory air, the Pt segregates to the surface of the ligaments thanks to its preferential interaction with oxygen;…

Fast phase transitions under lack of local thermalization between successive elementary steps of the physical process are treated analytically. Non-Markovian master equations are derived for fast processes, which do not have enough time to reach energy or momentum thermalization during rapid phase change or freezing o…

CK2 is a protein kinase essential for cell viability whose activity is altered in several cancers. Its mechanisms of regulation differ from those common to other eukaryotic protein kinases and are not entirely established yet. Here we present crystal structures of the monomeric form of the α2β2 holoenzyme that allow r…
