The interaction of amino acids with macrocyclic pH probes of pseudopeptidic nature
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
The fluorescence quenching, by a series of amino acids, of pseudopeptidic compounds acting as probes for cellular acidity has been investigated. It has been found that amino acids containing electron-rich aromatic side ...
Synthesis, Binding Properties, and Differences in Cell Uptake of G-Quadruplex Ligands Based on Carbohydrate Naphthalene Diimide Conjugates
(Wiley, 2017-02-10)
The G-quadruplexes (G4s) are currently being explored as therapeutic targets in cancer and other pathologies. Six carbohydrate naphthalene diimide conjugates (carb-NDIs) have been synthesized as G4 ligands to investigate ...
Synthesis of a Double-Network Supramolecular Hydrogel by Having One Network Catalyse the Formation of the Second
(Wiley, 2017-02-10)
elf-assembly of biomolecules catalytically controls the formation of natural supramolecular structures, giving highly ordered complex materials. Such desirable hybrid systems are very difficult to design and construct ...
Poly(acrylamide-homocysteine thiolactone) as a synthetic platform for the preparation of polymeric ionic liquids by post ring-openingorthogonal modifications
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
Poly(Acrylamide-Homocysteine Thiolactone) (PAHT) obtained by RAFT polymerisation can be used as a
starting material for the synthesis, through its post modification, of a variety of advanced polymeric
materials with ...
Improving photocatalytic oxygenation mediated by polymer supported photosensitizers using semiconductor quantum dots as ‘light antennas’
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017)
Quantum dots (QDs) adsorbed on the surface of polymeric photocatalysts improved the photochemical generation of singlet oxygen due to the efficient energy transfer process from the semiconductor nanoparticles to the bound ...
Re-programming Hydrogel Properties Using a Fuel-Driven Reaction Cycle
(American Chemical Society, 2020-03-04)
Nature uses catalysis as an indispensable tool to control assembly and reaction cycles in vital non-equilibrium supramolecular processes. For instance, enzymatic methionine oxidation regulates actin (dis-)assembly, and ...
The Trend of Chemisorption of Hydrogen and Oxygen Atoms on Pure Transition Metals: Magnetism justifies Unexpected Behaviour of Mn and Cr
(Elsevier, 2020)
The spin of the electron is decisive to understand electronic interactions in heterogeneous catalysis, mainly because the stabilizing Quantum Spin Exchange Interactions (QSEI) are always a significant contribution to the ...
Elucidating the Dual Mode of Action of Dipeptidyl Enoates in the Inhibition of Rhodesain Cysteine Proteases
(Wiley, 2021-04-14)
A computational study of the two possible inhibition mechanisms of rhodesain cysteine protease by the dipeptidyl enoate Cbz-Phe-Leu-CH=CH−CO2C2H5 has been carried out by means of molecular dynamics simulations with hybrid ...
Designing biocompatible and multicolorfluorescent hydroxyapatitenanoparticles for cell-imaging applications
(Elsevier, 2019)
In recent years, there has been a growing effort toward the synthesis, engineering and property tuning of biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) that can be detected by confocal microscopy and then used as fluorescent probes. ...
Co2P2O7‐Ni2P2O7 solid solutions: Structural characterization and color
(WileyAmerican Ceramic Society, 2018-10)
NH4[Co1−yNiyPO4]·H2O (0 ≤ y ≤ 1) single crystals were fired to prepare Co2−xNixP2O7 0 ≤ x ≤ 2 solid solutions between 800 and 1200°C. The structure of these solid solutions is α‐M2P2O7 (M = Co, Ni). The contraction of the ...
