Abstract Elastomeric materials are used as barriers to protect workers against exposure to chemicals. The effectiveness of a polymer as a chemical protective material depends on the rate of permeation of chemicals through it. The permeation rate is dependent on the type and amount of fillers added into the polymer mat…

UreG is an essential protein for the in vivo activation of urease. In a previous study, UreG from Bacillus pasteurii was shown to behave as an intrinsically unstructured dimeric protein. Here, intrinsic and extrinsic fluorescence experiments were performed, in the absence and presence of denaturant, to provide informa…

Self-condensation of the amphiphilic fluorene trimer occurs in the solvent mixture, giving pure "green" fluorescent nanoparticles with controlled radii of 20-100 nm. The origin of the green fluorescence is attributed to the excimer emission via excitation of aggregated dimer structures in the nanoparticles rather than…
