A comparative study on the sorption of tri- and hexavalent actinides on sea sediments
(2017)
The interaction of tri- and hexavalent actinides with local, Cypriot marine sediments has been investigated as a function of initial metal concentration, before and after “coating” with natural organic matter. Evaluation ...
ABC Triblock Terpolymers with Orthogonally Deprotectable Blocks: Synthesis, Characterization, and Deprotection
(2015)
The development and availability of new protecting groups are vital for all branches of synthetic chemistry. Equally vital is the facile and selective removal of these groups, leaving intact other protecting groups which ...
2-(Pyridin-2-yl)ethanol as a protecting group for carboxylic acids: Chemical and thermal cleavage, and conversion of poly[2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl methacrylate] to poly(methacrylic acid)
(2012)
In this communication, we show that 2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethanol is a good protecting group for methacrylic acid (MAA), which can be selectively removed, after polymerization, either chemically under alkaline conditions or ...
Breath and sweat analysis as a tool for medical diagnostics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
A wide spectrum of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is continuously produced in the human body and released through breath and sweat, thereby revealing important medical information. The variety of the analytical ...
Dynamic Covalent Star Poly(ethylene glycol) Model Hydrogels: A New Platform for Mechanically Robust, Multifunctional Materials
(2017)
We develop a new platform of dynamic covalent model polymer networks comprising two types of four-armed star poly(ethylene glycol)s (tetraPEG), one end-functionalized with benzaldehyde groups and the other with ...
Interaction of metal complexes with G-quadruplex DNA
(2010)
[Figure Presented] Guanine-rich sequences of DNA can assemble into tetrastranded structures known as G-quadruplexes. It has been suggested that these secondary DNA structures could be involved in the regulation of several ...
Identification of a potent activator of Akt phosphorylation from a novel series of phenolic, picolinic, pyridino, and hydroxamic zinc(II) complexes
(2011)
The discovery of small-molecule modulators of signaling pathways is currently a particularly active area of research. We aimed at developing unprecedented metal-based activators of Akt signaling which can potentially find ...
Interaction of metal complexes with nucleic acids
(2010)
This chapter reviews the literature reported during 2009 in the field of interaction of metal complexes with nucleic acids, also covering complex formation between transition metal ions and coordinating moieties within ...
Synthesis of a 'propeller-like' oligoheteroaryl with alternating pyridine and oxazole motifs
(2015)
The molecular architecture of oligomeric pyridyl-oxazole compounds is key to determining their mode of interaction with G-quadruplex DNA structures, which is a family of prominent anticancer biomolecular targets. We report ...
