Surface Structure of Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate Surfactant and Oil at the Oil-in-Water Droplet Liquid/Liquid Interface: A Manifestation of a Nonequilibrium Surface State

We present sum frequency scattering spectra on kinetically stabilized emulsions consisting of nanoscopic oil droplets in water, stabilized with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). We have measured the interfacial structure of the alkyl chains of the surfactant m ...

Eighty years of macromolecular science: from birth to nano-, bio- and self-assembling polymers-with slight emphasis on European contributions

A definition of macromolecular science (as opposed to polymer science and engineering) is given, from which the year 1930 is derived as the year of its birth. The scope of treatment of this paper will be limited to solid technical polymers. Some important ...

"Functional Poly(ethylene glycol)": PEG-Based Random Copolymers with 1,2-Diol Side Chains and Terminal Amino Functionality

Frederik Roman Wurm

A series of poly(ethylene glycol-co-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether) (P(EO-co-IGG)) random copolymers with different fractions of 1,2-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether (IGG) units was synthesized. After acidic hydrolysis a new type of "function ...

Radical Stability Directs Electron Capture and Transfer Dissociation of Beta-Amino Acids in Peptides

Yury Tsybin, Hisham Ben Hamidane, Aleksey Vorobyev

We report on the characteristics of the radical-ion-driven dissociation of a diverse array of beta-amino acids incorporated into alpha-peptides, as probed by tandem electron-capture and electron-transfer dissociation (ECD/ETD) mass spectrometry. The report ...

Synthesis of sequence-defined oligomers and polymers

Nadja Franz

The preparation of synthetic polymers with exact control over chain length and monomer sequence is one of the long-standing challenges in polymer science. Nature perfectly masters the synthesis of high molecular weight, perfectly monodisperse polypeptides ...

A Post-Modification Strategy for the Synthesis of Uniform, Hydrophilic/Hydrophobic Patterned α-Hydroxy Acid Oligomers

Harm-Anton Klok, Laure Menin, Nadja Franz

Hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning is a well-established design strategy to guide secondary structure formation of both natural as well as non-natural oligomers and polymers. This contribution explores the feasibility of a new approach for the synthesis of ...

A post-modification approach to peptide foldamers

Harm-Anton Klok, Laure Menin, Nadja Franz

Hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterning is a powerful strategy to control folding in non-natural polymers/oligomers. In this contribution, we present a novel strategy for the preparation of alternating hydrophilic/hydrophobic patterned non-natural peptide folda ...

Electron Capture Dissociation Product Ion Abundances at the X Amino Acid in RAAAA-X-AAAAK Peptides Correlate with Amino Acid Polarity and Radical Stability

Yury Tsybin, Hisham Ben Hamidane, Aleksey Vorobyev

We present mechanistic studies aimed at improving the understanding of the product ion formation rules in electron capture dissociation (ECD) of peptides and proteins in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. In particular, we attempt ...

Discovery of 6alpha-Ethyl-23(S)-methylcholic Acid (S-EMCA, INT-777) as a Potent and Selective Agonist for the TGR5 Receptor, a Novel Target for Diabesity

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

In the framework of the design and development of TGR5 agonists, we reported that the introduction of a C(23)(S)-methyl group in the side chain of bile acids such as chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) and 6-ethylchenodeoxycholic acid (6-ECDCA, INT-747) affords s ...
