Our reliance on fossil fuels, which is unsustainable due to dwindling reserves, has led to various environmental issues. Lignocellulosic biomass could serve as a renewable source of carbon and energy for the production of fuels and chemicals. While several ...

Macrocycles are an attractive class of molecules due to their good binding properties and yet rather small size that allows, in many cases, crossing membranes to reach intracellular targets. In comparison to classical small molecule drugs, macrocycles are ...
The present study evaluates the ionization efficiency (IE) of linear and branched C2–C14 dicarboxylic acids (DCAs) by electrospray ionization (ESI) under different conditions. The influence of the concentration of organic modifier (MeOH); mobile phase addi ...
The use of formate-based ammonia precursors as alternatives to urea in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) process requires that formic acid released upon their thermolysis in the hot exhaust is rapidly decomposed to carbon dioxide. This work aims at t ...
Ag loaded TiO2 was applied in the photocatalytic inactivation of Escherichia coil under ultraviolet (UV) and visible (Vis) light irradiations. Ag enhanced the TiO2 photodisinfecting effect under Vis irradiation promoting the formation of singlet oxygen and ...
Background: Total (i.e. free + sulfated) metanephrines in plasma is a biomarker for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma/paraganglioma. Sulfated metanephrines must be completely deconjugated by perchloric acid hydrolysis or sulfatase treatment prior to analyt ...

Epoxidized soybean oil (ESBO) is produced in industry by reacting soybean oil, at 60-70 degrees C, with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of formic or acetic acid. A small amount of sulphuric or phosphoric acid is necessary to catalyze the oxidation of the ...
Selective functionalization of methane at moderate temperature is of crucial economic, environmental, and scientific importance. Here, we report that methane reacts with heteropolyacids (HPAs) chemisorbed on silica to produce acetic acid under soft conditi ...
We present a method for the specific labelling of fusion proteins with synthetic fluorophores in Zebrafish. The method uses the SNAP-tag technology and O-6-benzylguanine derivatives of various synthetic fluorophores. We demonstrate how the method can be us ...
X-ray absorption spectroscopy is used to determine the local atomic structure around the iron atom from a soluble synthetic analogue of malaria pigment (hemozoin), cf. ferrimesoporphyrin IX of mesohematin anhydride, in the absence or presence of chloroquin ...
