The Mouse Eugenol Odorant Receptor: Structural and Functional Plasticity of a Broadly Tuned Odorant Binding Pocket

Horst Vogel, Horst Pick, Olivia Baud, Sylvain Etter

Molecular interactions of odorants with their olfactory receptors (ORs) are of central importance for the ability of the mammalian olfactory system to detect and discriminate a vast variety of odors with a limited set of receptors. How a particular OR bind ...

Periplasmic Binding Proteins as Optical Modulators of Single-Walled Carbon Nanotube Fluorescence: Amplifying a Nanoscale Actuator

Ardemis Anoush Boghossian

The authors use glucose-binding protein (GBP) to mech. actuate a fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT), resulting in reversible exciton quenching in response to glucose. The GBP is covalently conjugated with carboxylated poly(vinyl alc.)-wrapped ...

Evidence of lipid peroxidation and protein phosphorylation in cells upon oxidative stress photo-generated by fullerols

László Forró, Andrzej Sienkiewicz, Sylvia Jeney

An oxidative stress (OS) state is characterized by the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) in a biological system above its capacity to counterbalance them [1]. Exposure to OS induces the accumulation of intracellular ROS, which in turn causes cell ...

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized by carboxylic groups: Activation of TiO2 (anatase) and phosphate olivines (LiMnPO4; LiFePO4) for electrochemical Li-storage

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Ladislav Kavan, Florian Le Formal

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes functionalized by carboxylic groups, exhibit better affinity towards TiO2 (P90, Degussa) as compared to that of pristine nanotubes. Also the electrochemical performance of TiO2 is improved by nanotube networking, but the Li-st ...

Combined XPS and TPD study of oxygen-functionalized carbon nanofibers grown on sintered metal fibers

Lioubov Kiwi, Marina Ruta

A composite material consisting of carbon nanofibers (CNFs) grown on sintered metal fiber filters was modified by H2O2 or plasma-generated O3. Coupling temperature programmed desorption (TPD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques in the sam ...

Solvent Induced Pseudopolymorphism in a Calixarene-Based Porous Host Framework

Philip Pattison

The self-assembly properties of the proximal p-tert-butylcalix[4]dihydroquinone compound have been studied to investigate the role played by crystallization conditions in driving the formation of a previously reported cubic porous framework. In chloroform ...

Towards in-line determination of EVA Gel Content during PV modules Lamination Processes

Christophe Ballif, Hengyu Li, Laure-Emmanuelle Perret Aebi, Yun Luo

Poly (ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) is the major polymer used for photovoltaic (PV) modules encapsulation. Its degree of cross-linking (related to its gel content) is taken as a major quality reference. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) has been p ...

Water Stability and Luminescence of Lanthanide Complexes of Tripodal Ligands Derived from 1,4,7-Triazacyclononane: Pyridinecarboxamide versus Pyridinecarboxylate Donors

Marinella Mazzanti

A series of europium(III) and terbium(III) complexes of three 1,4,7-triazacyclononane-based pyridine containing ligands were synthesized. The three ligands differ from each other in the substitution of the pyridine pendant arm, namely they have a carboxyli ...

A new class of isothiocyanate-based irreversible inhibitors of macrophage migration inhibitory factor

Hilal Lashuel, Bruno Claude Daniel Fauvet, Magdalena Zweckstetter, Hajer Ouertatani-Sakouhi, Farah El Turk

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a homotrimeric multifunctional proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the pathogenesis of several inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Current therapeutic strategies for targeting MIF focus on ...

Tailoring hydrogel degradation and drug release via neighboring amino acid-controlled ester hydrolysis

Matthias Lütolf, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Yun Suk Jo, Jay Gantz

We present a versatile scheme to rationally modulate the hydrolysis rate of ester bonds in hydrophilic polymer networks via adjacent charged amino acids. As soluble model systems, two cysteine-bearing oligopeptides containing either positively charged argi ...
