Allelopathic interactions between the brown algal genus lobophora (dictyotales, phaeophyceae) and scleractinian corals
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-01-05)Allelopathy has been recently suggested as a mechanism by which macroalgae may outcompete corals in damaged reefs. Members of the brown algal genus Lobophora are commonly observed in close contact with scleractinian corals ... -
Allylic azide rearrangement in tandem with Huisgen cycloaddition for stereoselective annulation: synthesis of C-Glycosyl iminosugars
(American Chemical Society, 2015-12-09)Allylic azide rearrangement is used. in,tandem with. intramolecular azide-alkene cycloaddition to give a triazoline that when subsequently decomposed in the presence of a nucleophile gives piperidines. The tandem reaction ... -
Alternating bimetallic Na/Mn covalent and ionic chains
(RSC, 2010-07-30)The first coordination polymers constructed using the 2,2'-biphenol ligand are described along with their ionic supramolecular counterparts. -
Analysis of hydrocarbon bearing fluid inclusions HCFI) using time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2005)Hydrocarbon-bearing fluid inclusions (HCFI) are microscopic cavities within rocks that are filled with petroleum oil, the composition of which may not have changed since the trapping event. Thus, the composition of that ... -
Anisotropy resolved multidimensional emission spectroscopy (ARMES): A new tool for protein analysis
(Elsevier, 2015-07-30)Structural analysis of proteins using the emission of intrinsic fluorophores is complicated by spectral overlap. Anisotropy resolved multidimensional emission spectroscopy (ARMES) overcame the overlap problem by the use ... -
Application of vibrational spectroscopy to study solid-state transformations of pharmaceuticals
(2016-09-01)Understanding the properties, stability and transformations of the solid-state forms of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the development pipeline is of crucial importance for process-development, formulation ... -
Autoignition of ethanol in a rapid compression machine
(Elsevier, 2013-12-09)Ethanol is a renewable source of energy and significant attention has been directed to the development of a validated chemical kinetic mechanism for this fuel. The experimental data for the autoignition of ethanol in the ... -
Bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters presenting GlcNAc/GalNAc as inhibitors: from plant agglutinins to human macrophage galactose-type lectin (CD301) and galectins
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-02-17)Emerging insights into the functional spectrum of tissue lectins leads to identification of new targets for the custom-made design of potent inhibitors, providing a challenge for synthetic chemistry. The affinity and ... -
Bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters: synthesis, structure-activity profiles as lectin inhibitors and impact of combining both valency and headgroup tailoring on selectivity.
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2012-06-29)The emerging functional versatility of cellular glycans makes research on the design of synthetic inhibitors a timely topic. In detail, the combination of ligand (or headgroup or contact site) structure with spatial ... -
