Stereoelectronic effects in the reaction of aromatic substrates catalysed by Halomonas elongata transaminase and its mutants (2016)
Journal Article

A transaminase from Halomonas elongata and four mutants generated by an in silico-based design, were recombinantly produced in E. coli, purified and applied to the amination of mono-substituted aromatic carbonyl-derivatives. While benzaldehyde deriva... Read More about Stereoelectronic effects in the reaction of aromatic substrates catalysed by Halomonas elongata transaminase and its mutants.

Oxalate-bridged heterometallic chains with monocationic dabco derivatives (2016)
Journal Article

A series of bimetallic oxalate-bridged one-dimensional chains with monocationic dabco derivatives, ({R-dabco}[M(solv)2][Cr(ox)3]·n(solv)) (dabco = 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane, H2ox = oxalate; R = H, M = Co (1); R = H, M = Zn (2); R = Bu, M = Co (3)...

Reverse energy partitioning - An efficient algorithm for computing the density of states, partition functions, and free energy of solids (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Author(s). A robust and model free Monte Carlo simulation method is proposed to address the challenge in computing the classical density of states and partition function of solids. Starting from the minimum configurational energy, the algorith...

Extremely Stable Platinum-Amorphous Carbon Electrocatalyst within Hollow Graphitized Carbon Nanofibers for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (2016)
Journal Article

Unprecedented electrochemical stabilization of platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) is presented, upon insertion into shortened hollow graphitized carbon nanofibers (PtNP@S-GNF) toward the oxygen-reduction reaction for fuel-cell applications. In contrast t... Read More about Extremely Stable Platinum-Amorphous Carbon Electrocatalyst within Hollow Graphitized Carbon Nanofibers for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction.

Expedient synthesis of an atypical oxazolidinone compound library (2016)
Journal Article

In order to address the current downturn in the drug discovery pipeline, initiatives are being undertaken to synthesise screening libraries of sp3-rich, low molecular weight compounds. As part of the European Lead Factory initiative, the synthesis an... Read More about Expedient synthesis of an atypical oxazolidinone compound library.

Application of Targeted Molecular and Material Property Optimization to Bacterial Attachment-Resistant (Meth)acrylate Polymers (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 American Chemical Society. Developing medical devices that resist bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation is highly desirable. In this paper, we report the optimization of the molecular structure and thus material properties of a...

Templating of carbon in zeolites under pressure: synthesis of pelletized zeolite templated carbons with improved porosity and packing density for superior gas (CO2 and H2) uptake properties (2016)
Journal Article

This report explores the use of compacted zeolite pellets as templates for the preparation of pelletized zeolite templated carbons (ZTCs). The effects of zeolite compaction before use as hard templates were investigated through the compression of pow...

Design of nucleotide-mimetic and non-nucleotide inhibitors of the translation initiation factor eIF4E: Synthesis, structural and functional characterisation (2016)
Journal Article

Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) is considered as the corner stone in the cap-dependent translation initiation machinery. Its role is to recruit mRNA to the ribosome through recognition of the 50 - terminal mRNA cap structure (m7 G...

Electrostatic interactions between charged dielectric particles in an electrolyte solution (2016)
Journal Article

Theory is developed to address a significant problem of how two charged dielectric particles interact in the presence of a polarizable medium that is a dilute solution of a strong electrolyte. The electrostatic force is defined by characteristic para... Read More about Electrostatic interactions between charged dielectric particles in an electrolyte solution.

Studies on the magnetic ground state of a spin Möbius strip (2016)
Journal Article

Here we report the synthesis, structure and detailed characterisation of three n-membered oxovanadium rings, Nan[(V=O)nNan(H2O)n(α, β, or γ-CD)2]⋅mH2O (n = 6, 7, or 8), prepared by the reactions of (V=O)SO4⋅xH2O with α, β, or γ-cyclodextrins(CDs) and...
