The origin of enzyme catalysis remains a question of debate despite much intense study. We report a QM/MM theoretical study of the S N2 methyl transfer reaction catalyzed by a glycine N-methyltransferase (GNMT) and...
The production of chemicals from renewable resources, resulting in the establishment of biorefineries, represents a challenge of increasing importance. Here we show that succinic acid, a C4 compound increasingly being...
Three new ferrocenyl oxadiazoles, viz. (E)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-5-(2-ferrocenyl-ethen-1-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (D2), (E)-2-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2-ferrocenyl-ethen-1-yl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (D3) and...
Achromobacter denitrificans PR1 has previously shown potential to degrade the antibiotic sulfamethoxazole, whereby sulfamethoxazole biotransformation was stimulated in the presence of biogenic substrates. This study examined...
Symmetrical and unsymmetrical biscyclometalated platinum(II) complexes [Pt(ptpy) 2 ], 1, and [Pt(ptpy)(bppy)], 2, in which ptpy = deprotonated 2-(p-tolyl)pyridine and bppy = deprotonated 2-(3-bromophenyl)pyridine...
Organ-Chips are micro-engineered systems that aim to recapitulate the organ microenvironment. Implementation of Organ-Chips within the pharmaceutical industry aims to improve the probability of success of drugs reaching late...
This communication reports on a fluorescent probe (PPI-P) for imaging active peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases in live cells. PPI-P is capable of responding to both recombinant and cellular PPIases fluorogenically, and has...
Competitive inhibitors of the influenza neuraminidase (NA) were discovered almost 20 years ago, with zanamivir and oseltamivir licensed globally. These compounds are based on a transition state analogue of the sialic acid...
In this work, the efficiency of extracting algae from culture medium using magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), converting the algal/particle slurry to biocrude using hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL), and successfully recycling the...
Reactions of β-diketiminato magnesium and calcium hydrides with 1 atm of CO result in a reductive coupling process to produce the corresponding derivatives of the cis-ethenediolate dianion. Computational (DFT) analysis of...
Lead halide perovskites have rapidly emerged as candidate materials for high-performing solar cells, but show serious issues related to long-term stability. Methylammonium (MA) lead perovskites with mixed iodide-bromide...
ZSM-5 catalysts were subjected to step response cycles of dimethyl ether (DME) at 300 °C in a temporal analysis of product (TAP) reactor. Propylene is the major olefin and displays an S-shaped profile. A 44 min induction...
In this work we report the production of nanostructured WO3 photoanodes for solar water splitting produced via anodisation using for the first time citric acid (CA), a safer and more environmentally friendly...
In the past decade several versions of micro-scale residual stress analysis techniques have been developed based on Focused Ion Beam (FIB) milling at sample surface followed by Digital Image Correlation (DIC) for the...
Triazolopyridines are an important kind of fused-ring compounds. A HOCl-promoted triazolopyridine formation strategy is reported here for the first time in which hypochlorous acid (HOCl) mildly and efficiently promotes the...
Using microbubbles has gained significant interest in many domestic and industrial applications due to bubble stability in solution and increased mass transfer area. The characterisation of microbubble populations is...
Single-site catalysts can demonstrate high activity and selectivity in many catalytic reactions. The synthesis of these materials by impregnation from strongly oxidizing aqueous solutions or pH-controlled deposition often...
Single-site catalysts can demonstrate high activity and selectivity in many catalytic reactions. The synthesis of these materials by impregnation from strongly oxidizing aqueous solutions or pH-controlled deposition often...
Chabazite (CHA), one of the most common zeolite framework types, has a remarkable capacity to accommodate a wide range of different cations within the unique CHA framework. This has led to CHA being applied extensively in ion...
A continuous rotary membrane emulsification (cRME) system, allowing the decoupling of droplet generation from continuous phase (CP) flowrate, is presented here for the first time. The decoupling results in higher productivity...
Photocatalysis on microfluidic reactors can be an environmental-friendly strategy to conventional chemical synthesis methods to find selective and efficient processes to produce high value-added molecules. In this work, we...
