Two novel larger azaacenes with six or ten N atoms in their backbones, benzannelated 9,11,13,22,24,26-hexazatetrabenzo[a,c,l,n]heptacene (HATBH, 1) and benzannelated 9,26-dihydro-9,11,13,22,24,26-hexaza-tetrapyrido[3,2-a: 2',3'-c: 3'',2''-l: 2''',3'''-n]heptacene (DHATPH, 2), have been successfully synthesized in two…
The chemopreventive actions exerted by green tea are thought to be due to its major polyphenol, (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). However, the low level of stability and bioavailability in the body makes administering EGCG at chemopreventive doses unrealistic. We synthesized EGCG encapsulated chitosan-coated nano…
To establish the relationship between biopolymer interactions, water dynamics, and crumb texture evolution in time, proton mobilities in starch and gluten model systems and bread were investigated with NMR relaxometry. Amylopectin recrystallization was observed as an increased amount of fast-relaxing protons, while ne…
UNLABELLED: INstruct is a database of high-quality, 3D, structurally resolved protein interactome networks in human and six model organisms. INstruct combines the scale of available high-quality binary protein interaction data with the specificity of atomic-resolution structural information derived from co-crystal evi…
Getting your proteins in a row: Self-assembled protein nanowires were designed by utilizing highly specific supramolecular interactions of cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) and a tripeptide FGG-tag attached on the N-termini of dimeric glutathione S-transferase (GST). With the aid of enzyme simulation, model protein GST was conv…
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult multipotent cells found in bone marrow, adipose tissue, and other adult tissues. MSCs improve regeneration of injured tissues in vivo, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Typically, MSCs are cultured under ambient or normoxic conditions (21% O2 ). However, the physiological niche…
The kinetic folding of ribonuclease H was studied by hydrogen exchange (HX) pulse labeling with analysis by an advanced fragment separation mass spectrometry technology. The results show that folding proceeds through distinct intermediates in a stepwise pathway that sequentially incorporates cooperative native-like st…
A Skyrmion crystal typically arises from helical spin structures induced by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Experimentally its physical exploration has been impeded because it is a rarity and is found only within a narrow temperature and magnetic field range. We present a method for the assembly of a two-dimens…
Graphene quantum dots (GQDs) are explored as a green sensitizer to functionalize ZnO nanowire arrays (GQDs@ZnO NWs) by covalently bonding GQDs on ZnO NWs that are grown on F-doped SnO2 glass and modified with amine groups. Using a Pt counter electrode, the GQDs@ZnO NWs photoelectrodes exhibit enhanced performance for…
Auxetics are a modern class of material fabricated by altering the material microstructure. Unlike conventional materials, auxetics exhibit a negative Poisson's ratio when subjected to tensile loading. These materials have gained popularity within the research community because of their enhanced properties, such as de…
Abstract In 2008 we reported a new class of macrocyclic hosts that we named “pillararenes”. To date, pillar[5]arenes and pillar[6]arenes, containing five and six repeating units, respectively, have been synthesized. Pillar[5]arenes and pillar[6]arenes can accommodate 10 and 12 substituent groups, respectively. The pos…
In this article, today’s battery technologies and future options are discussed. Batteries have been one of the main focuses of automotive development in the last years. Technologies that have been in use for a very long time, such as the lead–acid battery, are indispensable but need improvement. New technologies such…
Molecular chemistry offers a unique toolkit to draw inspiration for the design of artificial metamolecules. For a long time, optical circular dichroism has been exclusively the terrain of natural chiral molecules, which exhibit optical activity mainly in the UV spectral range, thus greatly hindering their significance…
The energy density of Li-ion batteries depends critically on the specific charge capacity of the constituent electrodes. Silicene, the silicon analogue to graphene, being of atomic thickness could serve as high-capacity host of Li in Li-ion secondary batteries. In this work, we employ first-principles calculations to…
TiO 2 doped with Cu 2+ initiates the formation of brookite phase along with anatase. Doping of Cu 2+ introduces structural defects into TiO 2 . The direct evidence is the low intense and broad diffraction peaks. Raman peaks of doped TiO 2 are also broad and are blueshifted. Pure TiO 2 exhibits an absorption in the UV…
We report here the preparation of asymmetrical phthalocyanine dimers 1a-3a, which are endowed with novel charge transfer bands at 1,151-1,154 nm and strong NIR luminescences at 840-860 nm and 1,600-1,650 nm. Through H-bonding interaction, 1a-3a are inclined to self-assemble into hexrod nanotubes at the interface of CH…
This work focused on the relation between the porous structure of activated carbon and its capacitive properties. Three types of activated carbon monoliths were used as the electrodes in a half cell electrochemical system. One monolith was produced from activated carbon and considered to be a binder-less electrode. Tw…
The electronic structure of superconducting Fe1.03Te0.94S0.06 has been studied by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES). Experimental band topography is compared to the calculations using the methods of Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker (KKR) with the coherent potential approximation (CPA) and the linearized augmente…
Transient thermoreflectance (TTR) was used to characterize the interface thermal conductance (h) between GaN and sapphire at room temperature. Undoped, n-type, and p-type GaN films are grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) on (0001) sapphire substrate. An In film pressed onto the GaN surface is used…
Silk cocoon shells and degummed fibers from four African wild silkmoth species were studied and compared with the industrial standard, Bombyx mori, for their dissolution properties. Nine M aqueous Lithium bromide, Calcium chloride and Sodium thiocyanate solution systems were used. Efficiency of the solvent systems was…
