Abstract This article describes the synthesis and characterization of a series of poly(propylene glycol bismaleimide) (PPGM) with molecular weights ($\overline M _{{\rm ws}}$ ) in the range of 390–2 600 g · mol−1. Their photopolymerization rates without photoiniator were similar to that of an acrylate resin in the pre…
The role of chirality in membrane-forming lipids is not well appreciated at present. Here we demonstrate that the chirality of phospholipids makes fluid lipid bilayers piezoelectric. Thus, chiral lipids would play a central role in the functioning of cell membranes as active mechanotransducers. By periodically shearin…
The acid-base properties of zeolites with group 5 transition metal framework sites are investigated, and a first step into the understanding of their acid/base and redox properties is undertaken using DFT reactivity descriptors. It is evidenced, using sodalite as model system, that zeolites with vanadium framework sit…
The high-frequency acoustic dynamics of liquid cesium has been investigated by inelastic x-ray scattering as a function of pressure up to 5 GPa, corresponding to a volume compression of 50%. The obtained acoustic dispersion curves are found to scale on a single master curve, which turns out to be followed also by all…
A versatile approach to fabricate monodisperse poly[styrene-co-(divinyl benzene)] (PS-co-DVB) microcapsules that contain a single gold nanoparticle (AuNP) has been demonstrated. Using the PS-co-DVB microcapsule as a microreactor, aqueous HAuCl(4) and NaBH(4) solutions are subsequently infiltrated. The size of the resu…
The Gpg1 protein is a Ggamma subunit mimic implicated in the G-protein glucose-signaling pathway in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and its function is largely unknown. Here we report that Gpg1 blocks the maintenance of [PSI(+)], an aggregated prion form of the translation termination factor Sup35. Although the GPG1 gene is…
An investigation of collagen fiber reorientation, as well as fluid and matrix movement of equine articular cartilage and subchondral bone under compressive mechanical loads, was undertaken using small angle X-ray scattering measurements and optical microscopy. Small angle X-ray scattering measurements were made on hea…
In basic media, the coordinated semiquinone radical in the spin-coupled [(bipy)ClV(IV)O(TCSQ)] 1 (HTCSQ = tetrachlorosemiquinone) undergoes nucleophilic ipso substitution (OH- for Cl-) to generate the chloranilate anion (CA(2-)) that bridges the vanadium(IV) centers, forming a binuclear compound [(bipy)ClV(IV)O(CA)OV(…
Human P-glycoprotein is an ATP-binding cassette transporter that plays an important role in the defence against potentially harmful molecules from the environment. It is involved in conferring resistance against cancer therapeutics and plays an important role for the pharmacokinetics of drugs. The lack of a high resol…
Classical molecular dynamics (MD) is a frequently used technique in the study of radiation damage cascades because it provides information on very small time and length scales inaccessible to experiment. In a radiation damage process, energy transfer from ions to electrons may be important, yet there is continued unce…
Electronic structure calculations using density functional theory were performed on potential intermediates in the reaction of Fe(dmpe)(2)N(2) (dmpe = 1,2-bis(dimethylphosphino)ethane) with protons. Three mechanisms were investigated and compared, and the possibility of a two-electron reduction by a sacrificial Fe(dmp…
Apple peel extracts and their fractions pooled according to their molecular size were prepared and evaluated for their inhibitory activity against Helicobacter pylori and Jack bean ureases. Urease Inhibitory effect of apple peel polyphenols (APPE) extracted from the Granny Smith variety was concentration-dependent and…
Proton transfer from the photoacid 8-hydroxy-1,3,6-pyrenetrisulfonic acid (HPTS) to water is studied in reverse micelles with ionic (AOT=sodium dioctyl sulfosuccinate) and non-ionic (BRIJ-30=polyoxyethylene(4)lauryl ether) surfactants. The dynamics are studied by probing the transient electronic absorption and transie…
In this special issue, the cover picture represents various physical chemistry disciplines covered by our board members. Their research is highlighted in this special issue and covers, amongst others, molecular machines, spectroscopy, molecular photophysics, reaction mechanisms, and electrochemistry.
Environmental transmission or scanning transmission electron microscope is ideally suited to observe gas solid interactions at nanoscale. It is shown that the time and temperature resolved data, obtained from in situ observations, can be used to obtain reaction rates and understand the kinetics of the processes. Low o…
Abstract Weg mit Blei: Der Fluoreszenzrezeptor im Titel zeichnet sich durch eine hohe Affinität und Selektivität für Pb2+ gegenüber konkurrierenden Metallionen in Wasser aus (siehe Bild), wobei der Faktor der gesamten Emissionsänderung am Emissionsmaximum für Pb2+ etwa 8 beträgt. Der Fluoreszenzrezeptor kann 96 % von…
The interaction between synthetic materials and biomolecules plays an important role in biomedical and pathological sciences. An important issue in these interactions is control of stoichiometry. The interaction between NTA ligands and proteins with six consecutive His residues has been widely used for protein purific…
Atomization energies at 0 K and heats of formation at 0 and 298 K are predicted for the borane compounds H(3-n)BX(n) for (X = F, Cl, Br, I, NH2, OH, and SH) and various radicals from coupled cluster theory (CCSD(T)) calculations with an effective core potential correlation-consistent basis set for I. In order to achie…
Experimental adsorption kinetics and equilibrium results of penicillin G acylase (PGA, from Escherichia coli, EC 3.5.1.11) on mesoporous silicas with pore sizes ranging from 5.6 to 33.2 nm showed that samples with pore sizes between 11.0 and 13.2 nm exhibited the best performance in immobilizing PGA under mild experim…
In prokaryotes, the first three enzymes in pyrimidine biosynthesis, carbamoyl phosphate synthetase (CPS), aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATC), and dihydroorotase (DHO), are commonly expressed separately and either function independently (Escherichia coli) or associate into multifunctional complexes (Aquifex aeolicus). I…
