The function of biologically active molecules depends both on their structure and on their conformational dynamics. In solution, intramolecular interaction with the solvent will influence different biological processes, i.e. protein folding. However second ...
In recent years, spectroscopic investigations of cold, biomolecular ions have started to provide new, detailed information about the structures of biomolecules in the gas phase. The present work comprises three major parts that describe the development of ...
Francis turbines can experience critical instabilities at high load operating points, limiting their maximum power output. The swirling flow developed in the draft tube produces a cavitating axisymmetric volume, acting as an internal energy source leading ...
Mass spectrometry-based qualitative and quantitative (bio)molecular analysis is a corner stone in the state-of-the-art pipelines in systems biology and environmental sciences. High-resolution and efficient tandem mass spectrometry methods and techniques ar ...
We describe here experiments that combine differential ion mobility, which separates conformational isomers of biomolecular ions, with electronic spectroscopy in a cold, radio-frequency ion trap. Although the low temperature attainable in a cold ion trap g ...
An optimized capacitively coupled contactless conductivity detector for microchip electophoresis is presented. The detector consists of a pair of top bottom excitation electrodes and a pair of pickup electrodes disposed onto a very thin plastic microfluidi ...
This thesis presents new superconducting compact (as opposed to separated-sector ) cyclotron designs for injection in CABOTO, a linac developed by the TERA Foundation delivering C6+/H2+ beams up to 400 MeV/u for ion beam therapy. This association of a vari ...
The function of a peptide is intimately connected to its structure, which in solution is the result of the balance between non-covalent interactions within the molecule and the molecule-solvent interactions. Theory has the power to predict the properties o ...
Cationic zirconocene complexes are active species in Ziegler-Natta catalysis for olefin polymerization. structure and metal-ligand bond strength strongly influence their activity. In the present work, the multiphoton dissociation (IRMPD) spectrum of mass s ...
We report on the first successful high-resolution spectroscopic studies on isolated para-coumaric acid, the chromophore of the photoactive yellow protein which has become a model system for studying biological light induced signal transduction. Employing v ...
