Synthesis of two-phase polymer particles in supercritical carbon dioxide (2020)
Journal Article

The synthesis of particles with discrete phases using traditional emulsion polymerisation is a well-established process. Phase-separated particles have a wide range of applications, such as in coatings, drug delivery, impact modification and as suppo...

Unusually high α-proton acidity of prolyl residues in cyclic peptides (2020)
Journal Article

The acidity of the α-proton in peptides has an essential role in numerous biochemical reactions and underpins their stereochemical integrity, which is critical to their biological function. We report a detailed kinetic and computational study of the... Read More about Unusually high α-proton acidity of prolyl residues in cyclic peptides.

Accurate EELS background subtraction – an adaptable method in MATLAB (2020)
Journal Article

Electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) is a technique that can give useful information on elemental composition and bonding environments. However in practice, the complexity of the background contributions, which can arise from multiple sources, ca...

Hemoglobin-derived Fe-Nx-S species supported by bamboo-shaped carbon nanotubes as efficient electrocatalysts for the oxygen evolution reaction (2020)
Journal Article

Herein, we report a facile route to synthesize isolated single iron atoms on nitrogen-sulfur-codoped carbon matrix via a direct pyrolysis process in which hemoglobin, a by-product of the meat industry, was utilized as a precursor for iron, nitrogen a...

Reliable Langmuir Blodgett colloidal masks for large area nanostructure realization (2020)
Journal Article

The fabrication of highly ordered nanostructures over large areas is key for many technologies and colloidal lithography using the Langmuir Blodgett technique appears a simple and straightforward way of reaching that goal. While this technique has be... Read More about Reliable Langmuir Blodgett colloidal masks for large area nanostructure realization.

Factor XII and kininogen asymmetric assembly with gC1qR/C1QBP/P32 is governed by allostery (2020)
Journal Article

The contact system is composed of Factor XII (FXII), prekallikrein (PK) and co-factor kininogen (HK). The globular C1q receptor (gC1qR) has been shown to interact with FXII and HK. We reveal the FXII fibronectin type II domain (FnII) binds gC1qR in a... Read More about Factor XII and kininogen asymmetric assembly with gC1qR/C1QBP/P32 is governed by allostery.

Carbene?induced rescue of catalytic activity in deactivated Nitrite Reductase mutant (2020)
Journal Article

The role of His145 in the T1 copper center of Nitrite Reductase (NiR) is pivotal for the activity of the enzyme. Mutation to a glycine at this position enables the reconstitution of the T1 center by the addition of imidazole as exogenous ligands, how...

Möbius and Hückel Cyclacenes with Dewar and Ladenburg Defects (2020)
Journal Article

Copyright © 2020 American Chemical Society. Cyclacene nanobelts have not been synthesized in over 60 years and remain one of the last unsynthesized building blocks of carbon nanotubes. Recent work has predicted that Hückel-cyclacenes containing Dewar... Read More about Möbius and Hückel Cyclacenes with Dewar and Ladenburg Defects.
