This thesis mainly deals with the integration of a microfluidic system for the extraction of micrometric and submicrometric particles from a solution. Traditional methods take from several minutes to hours to separate particles from a solution. Microfluidi ...
In addition to their use in DNA sequencing, ultrathin nanopore membranes have potential applications in detecting topological variations in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). This is due to the fact that when topologically edited DNA molecules, driven by electro ...
Organohalide-respiring bacteria (OHRB) are capable to link energy conservation with the use of organohalide compounds as terminal electron acceptors. While obligate OHRB relies only on this process for growing, facultative OHRB are able to use alternative ...
The colloidal stability of dry and suspended carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the presence of amphiphilic compounds (i.e. natural organic matter or surfactants) at environmentally realistic concentrations was investigated over several days. The suspensions were ...
Abstract Background The NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase (Nuo) is an assembly of proteins also known as complex I. It is the entry point for highly energetic electrons in the classical aerobic respiration process as it couples the transfer of two electrons f ...

A combined d. functional theory/continuum electrostatics approach was used to est. the pKa values of metal-based compds. and their hydrolysis products. Specifically, the protonation states and abs. pKa values of [M(h6-arene)(X)(Y)(pta)]n+ (M = Ru or Os; ar ...

Carbamoyl phosphate (CP) has been implicated as an educt for the synthesis of the CO and CN ligands of the metal centre of [NiFe]-hydrogenases in Escherichia coli, since CP synthetase mutants (carAB) are unable to generate active hydrogenases due to a bloc ...

Secondary transporters exist as monomers, dimers or higher state oligomers. The significance of the oligomeric state is only partially understood. Here, the significance of the trimeric state of the L-carnitine/gamma-butyrobetaine antiporter CaiT of Escher ...
