We demonstrate a strategy for the synthesis of multifunctional mesoporous silica nanoparticles. These uniform tumblerlike nanocomposites, which simultaneously possess magnetic, luminescent, and porous properties, have great potential in biomedical applications.
A covalent organic framework ( COF-18Å ) based on poly(boronate ester)s has been successfully synthesized through a facile dehydration process in 85−95% isolated yield. Spectroscopic characterization confirms formation of the intended ester linkages as the key structural motif forming infinite 2D hexagonally porous sh…
Uniform-sized silica nanospheres with a well-ordered arrangement were successfully synthesized by a novel and simple method; hydrolysis and condensation reactions of tetraethyl orthosilicate were conducted in the presence of basic amino acids.
(Zn,Al)O thin films have been prepared by a dc reactive magnetron sputtering system with the Al contents in a wide range of 0–50at.%. The structural, optical, and electrical properties of (Zn,Al)O films were detailedly and systematically studied. The amount of Al in the film was nearly the same as, but often lower tha…
The electronic structure of a family of bis(imino)pyridine iron dihalide, monohalide, and neutral ligand compounds has been investigated by spectroscopic and computational methods. The metrical parameters combined with Mössbauer spectroscopic and magnetic data for ((i)PrPDI)FeCl(2) ((i)PrPDI = 2,6-(2,6-(i)Pr(2)C(6)H(3…
Abstract The nitrogen vacancy and some nickel related defects in diamond can be observed as single quantum systems in diamond by their fluorescence. The fabrication of single colour centres occurs via generation of vacancies or via controlled nitrogen implantation in the case of the nitrogen vacancy (NV) centre. The N…
Among several promising new drug-delivery systems, liposomes represent an advanced technology to deliver active molecules to the site of action, and at present several formulations are in clinical use. Research on liposome technology has progressed from conventional vesicles ("first-generation liposomes") to "second-g…
The title compound, [Co(C2H8N2)3]AsS4, was synthesized under solvothermal conditions in ethylenediamine (en) at 413 K. The compound consists of octahedral [Co(en)3]3+ cations and tetrahedral AsS43− anions.
Pyridoxal kinases (PdxK) are able to catalyse the phosphorylation of three vitamin B(6) precursors, pyridoxal, pyridoxine and pyridoxamine, to their 5'-phosphates and play an important role in the vitamin B(6) salvage pathway. Recently, the thiD gene of Bacillus subtilis was found to encode an enzyme which has the act…
The strong polyelectrolyte layer in the monolayer of ionic amphiphilic diblock copolymers at the air/water interface consists of carpet and brush layers when the brush density is satisfactorily high like that of the weak acid polymer. Also, a drastic structural change was induced by the addition of salt to the brush l…
The activation of the beta-carboxyl group of aspartate catalyzed by aspartokinase is the commitment step to amino-acid biosynthesis in the aspartate pathway. The first structure of a microbial aspartokinase, that from Methanococcus jannaschii, has been determined in the presence of the amino-acid substrate L-aspartic…
This paper reviews recent work in the area of organomanganese chemistry whose purpose is the design of single-molecule components for electronics. This field has recently received much attention in the pursuit of continued miniaturization of electronics. Electron reservoirs and molecular wires are basic motifs of sing…
Atg3 is an E2-like enzyme that catalyzes the conjugation reaction between Atg8 and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). The Atg8-PE conjugate is essential for autophagy, the bulk degradation process of cytoplasmic components by the vacuolar/lysosomal system. Crystals of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Atg3 have been obtained by th…
The bacterial transcriptional factor and virulence regulator RfaH binds to rapidly moving transcription elongation complexes through specific interactions with the exposed segment of the non-template DNA strand. To elucidate this unusual mechanism of recruitment, determination of the three-dimensional structure of Rfa…
Abstract Catalytic etching of synthetic diamond crystallites using small cobalt particles in a hydrogen atmosphere was found to be dependent on the crystal planes of diamond crystallites. The etched surface formed on the {100} planes at 900 °C consisted of reversed pyramid-like etch pits with {111} walls. Those on the…
Modification of cellulose fibers via adsorption of highly functionalized 2-hydroxy-3-trimethylammonium propyl chloride starch (HPMA starch) with a degree of substitution (DS) in the range from 0.25 to 1.54 was investigated by electrokinetic measurements and filler retention tests. It was found that the amount of catio…
We consider here two well-known variational problems associated with the phenomenon of phase separation: the isoperimetric problem and minimization of the Cahn-Hilliard energy. The two problems are related through a classical result in \Gamma -convergence and we explore the behavior of global and local minimizers for…
The electrochemistry and UV-vis spectral properties of neutral and electroreduced Al(III) phthalocyanine, (Pc)AlCl, were characterized in four different nonaqueous solvents (THF, DMSO, DMF, and pyridine) containing tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate, as well as in THF containing 0.4 M TBAP and the more strongly coordin…
A combination of neutron diffraction augmented with isotopic substitution and computer modeling using empirical potential structure refinement has been used to extract detailed structural information for L-glutamic acid dissolved in 2 M NaOH solution. This work shows that the tetrahedral hydrogen bonding network in wa…
The ground- and excited-state properties of a series of photochromic barbiturate receptors (N,N'-bis{6-[omega-(anthracen-9-yloxy)alkanoylamino]pyridin-2-yl}-5-t-butyl-isophthalamide, Tn), in which anthracene chromophores are tethered via (CH2)n (n = 1, 3-6) polymethylene linkers to the H-bond receptor moiety, are desc…
