Ion-specific effects on peptides and proteins are key to biomolecular structure and stability. The subtle roles of the cations are far less understood, compared to the pronounced effects of the anions on proteins. Most ...

This study reports the electropolymerization of novel keto functionalized octaethyl metal porphyrins (Zn2+ and Ni2+) in the presence of 4,40 -bipyridine (4,40-bpy) as a bridging nucleophile. The polymer films were characterized ...

We have investigated the correlation between the variation in the melting temperature and the growth pattern of small positively charged gallium clusters. Significant shift in the melting temperatures was observed for a ...

Warfarin is a potent anti-coagulant drug and is on the World Health Organization’s List of Essential Medicines. Additionally, it displays fluorescence enhancement upon binding to human serum albumin, making warfarin a ...

Carbonyl n-π* transitions are known to undergo blue shift in polar and hydrogen-bonding solvents. Using semiempirical expressions, previous studies hypothesized several factors like change in dipole moment and hydrogen-bond ...

1,2-Dibenzoyl-1-tert-butylhydrazine (RH-5849) and related N-alkyl-N,N′-diacylhydrazines are environmentally benign insect growth regulators. Herein, we show that an unusual nN(amide) → π*Ar interaction mediated by a hydrazide ...

Hydrogen-bonding plays a fundamental role in the structure, function, and dynamics of various chemical and biological systems. Understanding the physical nature of interactions and the role of electrostatics in hydrogen-bonding ...

The mitochondrial F-type ATP synthase, a multisubunit nanomotor, is critical for maintaining cellular ATP levels. In T. gondii and other apicomplexan parasites, many subunit components necessary for proper assembly and ...

The addition of cosolvent, such as water, influences the overall fluctuation dynamics as sensed by the probe. It is crucial to unravel the fluctuation dynamics when water is added, particularly in viscous solvents with ...

The nanocrystal surface, which acts as an interface between the semiconductor lattice and the capping ligands, plays a significant role in the attractive photophysical properties of semiconductor nanocrystals for use in a ...
