A one pot catalytic system which involves Cu and an alkoxide co-catalyst has been used for methanol (MeOH) synthesis at low temperature. Up to about 92% syngas conversion per pass and more than 90% selectivity to MeOH (the ...

The catalytic mechanism of the cyclic amidohydrolase isatin hydrolase depends on a catalytically active manganese in the substrate-binding pocket. The Mn2+ ion is bound by a motif also present in other metal dependent ...

We present the first analytic implementation of cubic and quartic force constants at the level of Kohn–Sham density-functional theory. The implementation is based on an open-ended formalism for the evaluation of energy ...

Two forms, α and β, are known for the racemic amino acid DL-me­thio­nine, C5H11NO2S. The phase transition between them, taking place around 326 K, is associated with sliding at the central inter­faces of the hydro­phobic ...

The Ruddlesden–Popper (RP3) type oxides, La4Co3O10+δ and La4Ni3O10+δ, form a complete solid solution. Powder X-ray and neutron diffraction data show that La4(Co1−xNix)3O10+δ is isostructural to the monoclinic La4Co3O10+δ ...

A novel open tubular nanoproteomic platform featuring accelerated on-line protein digestion and high-resolution nano liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has been developed. The platform features very narrow ...

Iso-octyl chain-hydroxylated oxysterols were determined in attomoles per 10,000 cells concentrations in 10,000–80,000 cultured pancreatic adenocarcinoma cells, using a sensitive, highly automated nano-LC-ESI-MS-based method. ...

Mathematical models are investigated and suggested for the calculation of the elastic stiffness of polymer nanocomposites. Particular emphasis is placed on the effect on the elastic stiffness from agglomerates and the ...

Neurons communicate via chemical signals called neurotransmitters (NTs). The numerous identified NTs can have very different physiochemical properties (solubility, charge, size etc.), so quantification of the various NT ...
