Mild, and selective transition metal catalyzed processes for the functionalization of C-H bonds utilizing environmentally benign and inexpensive dioxygen and/ or HOOH oxidants are extremely attractive, as they render these ...

The focus of the work detailed in this dissertation is the investigation of mechanism and catalytic applications of Pt complexes supported by novel anionic di(2-pyridyl)borate ligands. It was found that oxidation of ...

The amphiphilic nature of many block copolymers causes self-aggregation and micelle formation in solvents that are miscible with only one of the block polymers (selective solvents). Micelle and aggregate formation of ...

Catanionic surfactant vesicles have gained attention due to their structural similarities to liposomes and their robust properties in biological media. Catanionic vesicles are formed from oppositely charged surfactants ...

Ubiquitination is the most versatile and is certainly one of the most difficult post-translation modifications to understand in eukaryotic life. In the process of ubiquitination the C-terminus of ubiquitin (Ub), a small ...

A carbon nanotube is a graphitic sheet, rolled into a one-dimensional, hollow tube. This structure provides certain individual nanotubes with high conductivity and near-infrared optical activity. These properties are not ...

Molecular containers are a unique set of compounds that are able to recognize and associate with other molecules. It is these molecular recognition properties that has resulted in a large number of research groups studying ...

Understanding how proteins fold and interact with each other is key to understanding virtually all biological processes. Recent advances in computer power and modeling techniques make it possible to study proteins and other ...

This pdf file is the finalized version of the book of abstracts for the 8th International Symposium on Macrocyclic Chemistry held in Arlington, Virginia, USA from July 7-11, 2013

The K48-linked polyubiquitin chains are important signals for proteasomal degradation and other biological processes. Their recognition of ubiquitin binding partners such as the UBA2 (ubiquitin associated domain 2) domain ...
