A heterodimer of importin alpha and importin beta accomplishes the nuclear import of proteins carrying classical nuclear localization signals (NLS). The interaction between the two import factors is mediated by the IBB domain of importin alpha and involves ...
While reinvestigating the published synthesis of OPI3, it became evident from the experiments that phosphoryl triodide may only be formed as an intermediate and that the end products of the reaction of OPCl3 with LiI are PV oxides, PI3, I2, and LiCl. This ...
We used X-ray absorption in the partial fluorescence yield mode (PFY-XAS), and resonant X-ray emission (RXES) to study the pressure dependence of Yb valence in the intermediate valence compound YbAl2. We find that the Yb valence changes from 2.25 at ambien ...
Broadband synchrotron X-rays with limited coherence can be used for high resolution phase contrast radiology. Our experimental results confirm the prediction that the extreme spatial coherence of third-generation synchrotron sources although helpful but no ...
The internal reflection of an excited X-ray waveguide mode in a synthetic nanostructure, defined by electron-beam lithography, has been measured. In this device, the X-ray beam is first coupled into a conventional vertical thin-film waveguide structure and ...
A full multiple theor. model (MXAN) is applied to fit picosecond difference x-ray absorption spectra at the Ru L3 edge upon photoexcitation of aq. [RuII(bpy)3]2+. Fitting difference spectra allows an increase in sensitivity, such that slight structural cha ...
The authors present a new technique to record single x-ray pulses in time-resolved x-ray absorption spectra spectroscopy (XAS) expts. at low frequencies around 1 kHz compared to the multibunch repetition rate at synchrotron radiation storage rings of sever ...
The microstructure of commercially available nanocrystalline (nc) electroplated Ni foils is studied by means of Xray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. It is shown that the microstructure is inhomogeneous and batch-dependent. Tensile propert ...
Recent, striking examples of x-ray image sharpening are based on Fresnel edge diffraction. A simple model shows that image sharpening can be achieved under less stringent conditions as could be thought. The extreme spatial coherence of third-generation syn ...
Polarized fluorescence spectra were recorded in the vicinity of the Se and Br K edges on crystals of the selenated protein aldose reductase in complex with a brominated inhibitor molecule. The X-ray absorption, refraction and resonant scattering tensors as ...
