The unique selectivity of Au/TiO2 for converting ammonium formate to CO2 in the presence of excess O2 and H2O without oxidising NH3 up to 300 °C is reported. The catalyst is highly stable and selective even after severe hydrothermal aging. ...
The possibility to design proteins whose activities can be switched on and off by unrelated effector molecules would enable applications in various research areas, ranging from biosensing to synthetic biology. We describe here a general method to modulate ...
In the ovary, the follicular granulosa cells express the nuclear receptor Nr5a2 (nuclear receptor subfamily 5 group A member 2), also known as liver receptor homolog-1, and after ovulation, Nr5a2 expression persists in the corpus luteum. Previous studies d ...
Hydroamidation of olefins constitutes an ideal, atom-efficient method to prepare carboxylic amides from easily available olefins, CO, and amines. So far, aliphatic amines are not suitable for these transformations. Here, we present a ligand- and additive-f ...
Catalyst design is of major importance for fine chemicals industry due to
complexity of the synthesis and high product quality requirements. Moreover, the
catalyst formulation has to comply with the standards of health, safety and
environmental regulati ...
Water soluble trithiolato-bridged cationic complexes of the type (eta(5)-C5Me5)(2)M-2(mu-SC6H4-p-X)(3) (M = Rh, X = H, 1; CH3, 3; OCH3, 5; Pr-i, 7; Bu-t, 9; M Ir, X = H, 2; CH3, 4; OCH3, 6; Pr-i, 8; Bu-t, 10) were synthesized and isolated as their chl ...
Selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) to 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol (MBE) over Pd supported on hypercrosslinked polystyrene was studied in polar (ethanol, isopropanol, water) and non-polar (cyclohexane, toluene, octane, hexane, heptane and m-x ...
Monodispersed Pd nanoparticles (NPs) have been prepared by colloidal technique and deposited on a structured support consisting of carbon nanofibers (CNF) grown on sintered metal fibres (SMF). The surface properties of Pd NPs have been fine-tuned by (i) ch ...
Background: The mechanism of ligand gating in physiologically important cyclic nucleotide-modulated channels is unknown. Results: We constructed and purified a chimeric ion channel with activity modulated by cAMP and used it to measure ligand-binding energ ...

The squaric acid mediated bioconjugation reaction is an attractive approach for the amine-selective protein modification with side-chain functional polymers. This manuscript presents 3 squaric acid based atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) initiato ...
