Structural Melting of an Amino Acid Dimer upon Intersystem Crossing

We present a spectroscopic investigation of the excited-state dynamics of the phenylalanine (Phe)/serine (Ser) protonated dimer in the gas phase. Using an ultraviolet (UV) laser pulse, we promote individual isomers to the S1 state and probe their fate with ...

Molecular Borophosphate Cages

Rosario Scopelliti, Kay Severin

A synthetic procedure for the synthesis of two molecular borophosphate cages is described. Heating of ethyl phosphate with phenylboronic or 4-formylboronic acid in toluene gives [6+6] condensation products of the general formula EtOPO3BAr. Crystallogr ...

Structure and Function of Purified Monoclonal Antibody Dimers Induced by Different Stress Conditions

Henning Paul-Julius Stahlberg, Alexandre Briguet

To investigate structure and function of different monoclonal antibody (MAb) dimers.MAb dimers were induced by process-related, low pH and UV light stress. Dimers were isolated and purified by chromatography and extensively characterized by biochemical, st ...

Dye metachromasy on titanate nanowires: sensing humidity with reversible molecular dimerization

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Endre Horvath, Primoz Rebernik Ribic

We report on the reversible dimerization of methylene blue (MB) on titanate nanowires. The self-organizational properties of MB on the surface of this nanostructured material studied by spectroscopic means revealed that the light absorption properties of t ...

Impurity Gas Analysis of the Decomposition of Complex Hydrides

Andreas Züttel, Shunsuke Kato, Elsa Callini

This study aims at an investigation of the impurity gases emitted during the decomposition of borohydrides. For this we have set up a quantitative gas analysis based on a combination of FTIR spectroscopy and gravimetry. We show that the emission of various ...

Polymeric Ionic Liquids: Comparison of Polycations and Polyanions

Jutta Christine Wandrey

The achievement of high ionic conductivity in new "polymeric ionic liquids" (PILs) is of great interest as it refers to the solid state electrolytes and their applications in electrochemistry. Four ionic monomers, including two new ones, namely N-[(2-metha ...

Synthesis of C-linked Disaccharides and Analogues as Biomimetics of the TF Epitope

Maria Kolympadi

Glycoproteins and glycolipids are major components of the outer surface of mammalian cells. Their carbohydrate moieties, which are directed into the outer environment, serve as ligands for receptor proteins, such as lectins, pathogen proteins and antibodie ...

Detection of Farnesyltransferase Interface Hot Spots through Computational Alanine Scanning Mutagenesis

Marta Andreia Da Silva Perez

In this study, we present a detailed characterization of the full α/β interface in the farnesyltransferase (FTase) enzyme, an important target in drug design efforts. This characterization is presented in terms of hot spots, warm spots, and null spots and ...

Role of Aggregation in Rhodopsin Signal Transduction

Ursula Röthlisberger, Ivano Tavernelli, Marilisa Neri, Stefano Vanni

Many G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) are known to form dimers or even oligomers, and these aggregated states have been proposed as functional units responsible for signal transduction and G protein activation. However, the nature of their involvement h ...
