Metallo beta-lactamases (MbetaL) are enzymes naturally evolved by bacterial strains under the evolutionary pressure of beta-lactam antibiotic clinical use. They have a broad substrate spectrum and are resistant to all the clinically useful inhibitors, repr ...
We report a transient absorption study of the kinetics of re-reduction of ruthenium bipyridyl dye cations adsorbed to nanocrystalline TiO2 films by iodide ions, employing a series of RuII(dcbpy)2X dyes, where dcpby ) 4,4′-dicarboxy-2,2′-bipyridyl and X ) ( ...
Time-resolved x-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) spectroscopy with picosecond temporal resolution is a new method to observe electronic and geometric structures of short-lived reaction intermediates. It combines an intense femtosecond laser source sync ...

Using kaon secondary interactions in the material of the Belle detector, we search for both inclusive and exclusive production of the Θ(1540) +. We set an upper limit of 2.5% at the 90% C.L. on the ratio of the Θ(1540)+ to Λ(1520) inclusive production cros ...
When 3-fluoro- and 3-chloro-1,2-didehydrobenzenes are generated in the presence of 2-(trimethylsilyl)furan, two regioisomeric cycloadducts are formed in a 1:2 ratio. However, regioselectivity can be installed by fitting one bulky trimethylsilyl group into ...
Elucidating the structural properties of early intermediates (protofibrils) on the fibril formation pathway of Abeta and alpha-synuclein, the structural relationship among the different intermediates and their relationship to the structure of the amyloid f ...
In accordance with the concept of regioexhaustive functionalization, both 3-chloro-2-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine and 2-bromo-6-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine were converted each time into the three possible carboxylic acids. 2-Bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine, 2 ...
The increasing complexity and heterogeneity of modern light water reactor (LWR) fuel assemblies impose new challenges to current reactor physics codes in terms of maintaining and improving the quality of neutronics predictions for the core. In particular, ...
The discovery, study, and implementation of the Co- and Mn-catalyzed hydrohydrazination and hydroazidation reactions of olefins are reported. These reactions are equiv. to direct hydroaminations of C-C double bonds with protected hydrazines or hydrazoic ac ...
Hydrogenation of C60 at 2 GPa and 723-823 K was performed with thermal decompn. of LiAlH4 as a hydrogen source. Anal. of hydrogenation products showed that the method can produce not only C60H36, but also hydrofullerides C60Hx with 44 < x < 52. Unlike othe ...
