Nanoparticle-based sorbents demonstrate excellent affinity for the separation of heavy metals in contaminated water systems
Metal Affinity
Scaffold Synthesis
The enantioselective synthesis of alkaloids, using a tricyclic (R)-phenylglycinol-derived lactam scaffold is reported.
Dot Products
Enzymatic generation of quantum dots could lead to news ways of analyzing milk by fluorescence spectroscopy.
Self-Assembling Devices
Design strategy with side-chain incompatibility provides promise for the realization of much greater photoconducting output.
Prebiotic Soup
Guanine, adenine, and hypoxanthine can be produced at lower temperatures than previously reported thanks to UV photons.
Size Matters!
Molecular dynamic simulations of molecules in single-walled boron-nitride nanotubes reveal effects of nanoscale confinement.
Shikimic Gimmick
An alternative biomass-based route to benzoic acid from the renewable starting materials quinic acid and shikimic acid.
A Thio-Millipede Invasion!
Cysteine-containing polyisocyanides are shown to be versatile nanoplatforms for chromophoric and bioscaffolding
'Oh No!' to ONOO–
A lanthanide-complex-based ratiometric luminescence probe specific for peroxynitrite (ONOO-) has been designed and synthesized.
Improving Kinase Inhibitors
Resorcylic acid lactone (RAL) representing a unique pharmacophore was edited to improve the properties and diversify the scaffold.
