Potent and selective anticancer activity of half-sandwich ruthenium and osmium complexes with modified curcuminoid ligands

We have recently reported a series of half-sandwich ruthenium(ii) complexes with curcuminoid ligands showing excellent cytotoxic activities (particularly ionic derivatives containing PTA (PTA = 1,3,5-triaza-7-phosphaadamantane). In the present study, new m ...

Iron status influences non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in obesity through the gut microbiome

Xavier Fernandez-Real Girona

Background: The gut microbiome and iron status are known to play a role in the pathophysiology of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), although their complex interaction remains unclear. Results: Here, we applied an integrative systems medicine approa ...

Characterizing the Effects of a “Switchable Water” Additive on the Aqueous Solubility of Small Molecules

Paul Joseph Dyson, Philip Gregory Jessop, Sarika Burra

“Switchable water” is an aqueous solution containing a water‐soluble amine additive that exhibits CO2‐switchable properties, such as large changes in ionic strength, by forming an ammonium bicarbonate salt. Switchable water has been used to reversibly “sal ...

Development of an albumin-binding ligand for prolonging the plasma half-life of peptide therapeutics

Alessandro Zorzi

Peptides represent a promising format for the development of therapeutics since they combine the advantages of proteins and small molecules. Several techniques based on rational design or in vitro evolution can be used to develop peptides as therapeutics. ...

Synergistic effect of carboxylic and amine ligands on the synthesis of CdSe nanocrystals

Martinus Gijs, Virendra Kumar Parashar

We demonstrate the drastic improvement in absorbance and photoluminescence (UV-PL) of CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) upon adding both a carboxylic acid and an amine ligand to the cadmium acetate green chemistry source. We combined carboxylate complexes of lauric ...

High aerosol acidity despite declining atmospheric sulfate concentrations over the past 15 years

Athanasios Nenes, Hairun Guo

Particle acidity affects aerosol concentrations, chemical composition and toxicity. Sulfate is often the main acid component of aerosols, and largely determines the acidity of fine particles under 2.5 μm in diameter, PM2.5. Over the past 15 years, atmosphe ...

Growth and dissolution of calcite in the presence of adsorbed stearic acid

Francesco Stellacci, Georg Fantner, Kislon Voitchovsky, Blake William Erickson, Maria Ricci, Juan José Segura Sugranes

The interaction of organic molecules with the surface of calcite plays a central role in many geochemical, petrochemical and industrial processes and in biomineralization. Adsorbed organics, typically fatty acids, can interfere with the evolution of calcit ...

Structure and Biophysical Properties of a Triple-Stranded Beta-Helix Comprising the Central Spike of Bacteriophage T4

Laure Menin, Petr Leiman, Sergii Buth

Gene product 5 (gp5) of bacteriophage T4 is a spike-shaped protein that functions to disrupt the membrane of the target cell during phage infection. Its C-terminal domain is a long and slender -helix that is formed by three polypeptide chains wrapped aroun ...

Hydrophobic coating of mica by stearic acid vapor deposition

Juan José Segura Sugranes

We report on the preparation of thin films of stearic acid on mica by sublimation in air. We correlate their affinity to water (hydrophobic vs. hydrophilic character) to the morphology of the films as observed by Atomic Force Miscorcopy (AFM). Submonolayer ...
