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...
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...
A fully interpenetrated 8,3-connected zirconium MOF with the the-i topology type, STA-26 (St Andrews porous material-26), has been prepared using the 4,4′,4“-(2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)tribenzoate (TMTB) tritopic...
The catalytic activities of supported metal nanoparticles can be tuned by appropriate design of synthesis strategies. Each step in a catalyst synthesis method can play an important role in preparing the most efficient...
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...
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...
Here we demonstrate that 2D MoS2 can enhance the receptor-targeting and imaging ability of a fluorophore-labelled ligand. The 2D MoS2 has an enhanced working concentration range when compared with...
Transparent nano-structured hematite (α-Fe2O3) films of approximately 550 nm thickness on tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) have been obtained conveniently by ink-jet printing of a...
The site-selective functionalization of an indole template offers exciting possibilities for the derivatization of molecules with useful biological properties. Herein, we report the remote C6-selective C-H alkylation of...
The hydride complex [Ru(IPr) 2(CO)H][BAr F 4], 1, reacts with InMe 3 with loss of CH 4 to form [Ru(IPr) 2(CO)(InMe)(Me)][BAr F 4], 4...
Anilines are a vital synthetic core of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, natural products and building blocks. Metal-catalyzed C–H functionalization has emerged as a powerful tool to derivatize biologically relevant molecules....
Studies on alkyne hydrophosphination employing nickel-NHC catalysts (NHC=N-heterocyclic carbene) revealed that the free N-alkyl substituted NHCs themselves were catalytically active. DFT calculations showed the mechanism...
Cytochrome P450 2J2 (CYP2J2), a key enzyme responsible for oxidative metabolism of various xenobiotics and endogenous compounds, participates in a diverse array of physiological and pathological processes in humans. Its...
Here, we report a β-galactosidase (β-Gal)-responsive photochromic fluorescent probe, NpG, that was designed to prebind to human serum albumin (HSA) to form the probe/protein hybrid, NpG@HSA. The formation of NpG@HSA led to an...
The catalytic activities of supported metal nanoparticles can be tuned by appropriate design of synthesis strategies. Each step in a catalyst synthesis method can play an important role in preparing the most efficient...
Fast-ion conductors are critical to the development of solid-state batteries. The effects of mechanochemical synthesis that lead to increased ionic conductivity in an archetypical sodiumion conductor Na3PS4 are not fully...
Buoyancy-induced instability of the horizontal flow in a plane-parallel porous channel is analysed. A model of momentum transfer is adopted where a quadratic form-drag contribution is taken into account. The basic fluid flow...
Two novel nona-coordinated Eu(III) complexes [Eu(btfa) 3(Ph-TerPyr)] (Eu-1) and [Eu(NTA) 3(Ph-TerPyr)] (Eu-2) have been synthesized and characterized. The structure of the complexes was elucidated by...
