Engineering recombinant antibodies for polymer biofunctionalization
(Wiley, 2015-08-18)
The attachment of recognition elements such as antibody fragments to polymeric substrates can be used to mediate cell- or protein-specific interactions. In this work, single-chain Fv (scFv) antibody fragments were isolated ...
Surfactant behaviour of metallacarboranes. A study based on the electrolysis of water
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013-11-21)
[3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2]−, [1]−, and its chloroderivatives have been described as displaying surfactant/aggregation properties. We have studied their behaviour as electrolytes in the water electrolysis process. The electrolysis ...
A theta-shaped amphiphilic cobaltabisdicarbollide anion: transition from monolayer vesicles to micelles
(Wiley, 2011-05-23)
Self-assembly is ubiquitous in nature and in surfactant science.1 Globular micelles or vesicles in water are usually obtained with surfactants2 or amphiphilic block copolymers3 composed of a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic ...
Unprecedented B―H activation through Pd catalysed B―Cvinyl bond coupling on borane systems
(Wiley, 2011-04-20)
A Pd-induced cascade B–Cvinyl coupling that produces multiple B–Cvinyl bonds starting from a single B–I bond has been demonstrated. The process is most probably stimulated by the geometrical disposition of the B–H bonds ...
Relaxed but highly compact diansa metallacyclophanes
(American Chemical Society, 2011-09-09)
A series of monoansa [μ-1,1′-PR-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H10)2]− and diansa [8,8′-μ-(1″,2″-benzene)-μ-1,1′-PR-3,3′-Co(1,2-C2B9H9)2]− (R = Ph, tBu) cobaltabisdicarbollidephanes have been synthesized, characterized and studied by ...
From icosahedron to a plane flattening dodecaiodo-dodecaborate by successive stripping of iodine
(Wiley, 2012-09-07)
It has been shown by electrospray ionization–ion-trap mass spectrometry that B12I122− converts to an intact B12 cluster as a result of successive stripping of single iodine radicals or ions. Herein, the structure and ...
A comprehensive combustion chemistry study of 2,5-dimethylhexane
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-01-16)
Iso-paraffinic molecular structures larger than seven carbon atoms in chain length are commonly found in conventional petroleum, Fischer-Tropsch (FT), and other alternative hydrocarbon fuels, but little research has been ...
Systems-based approaches to unravel multi-species microbial community functioning
(Research Network of Computational and Structural Biotechnology, 2014-12-03)
Some of the most transformative discoveries promising to enable the resolution of this century's grand societal
challenges will most likely arise from environmental science and particularly environmental microbiology ...
Uniform transmural strain in pre-stressed arteries occurs at physiological pressure
(Elsevier, 2012-06-21)
Residual deformation (strain) exists in arterial vessels, and has been previously proposed to induce homogeneous transmural strain distribution. In this work, we present analytical formulations that predict the existence ...
Influence of preservation temperature on the measured mechanical properties of brain tissue
(Elsevier, 2013-04-26)
The large variability in experimentally measured mechanical properties of brain tissue is due to many factors including heterogeneity, anisotropy, age dependence and post-mortem time. Moreover, differences in test protocols ...
