Supramolecular insight into the substitution of sulfur by selenium, based on crystal structures, quantum-chemical calculations and biosystem recognition
(International Union of Crystallography, 2020)
Statistical analysis of data from crystal structures extracted from the Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) has shown that S and Se atoms display a similar tendency towards specific types of interaction if they are part ...
Carbohydrate – Protein aromatic ring interactions beyond CH/π interactions: A Protein Data Bank survey and quantum chemical calculations
(Elsevier, 2020)
The geometries of the contacts between monosaccharides and aromatic rings of amino acids found in X-ray crystallography structures, in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), were analyzed, while the energies of the interactions were ...
Enantioselective Organocatalytic Enamine C−H Oxidation/Diels‐ Alder Reaction
(Wiley, 2019)
α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes have been traditionally used in LUMO lowering asymmetric aminocatalysis (iminium catalysis), while the use of saturated aldehydes as substrates in this type of catalysis has been elusive, until ...
Enantioselective Organocatalytic Enamine C−H Oxidation/Diels‐ Alder Reaction
(Wiley, 2019)
α,β‐unsaturated aldehydes have been traditionally used in LUMO lowering asymmetric aminocatalysis (iminium catalysis), while the use of saturated aldehydes as substrates in this type of catalysis has been elusive, until ...
Organocatalytic, Organic Oxidant Promoted, Enamine C−H Oxidation/Cyclopropanation Reaction
(Wiley, 2021)
Herein, we demonstrate that organic, single-electron oxidant in the presence of diarylprolinol silylether type catalyst serves as a tool for the transformation of electron-rich enamines to iminium ions. These iminium ions ...
Study of stacking interactions between two neutral tetrathiafulvalene molecules in Cambridge Structural Database crystal structures and by quantum chemical calculations
(Wiley, 2019)
Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) and its derivatives are very well known as electron donors with widespread use in the field of organic conductors and superconductors. Stacking interactions between two neutral TTF fragments were ...
Low-friction, wear-resistant, and electrically homogeneous multilayer graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition on molybdenum
(Elsevier, 2020)
Chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is a promising method for producing large-scale graphene (Gr). Nevertheless, microscopic inhomogeneity of Gr grown on traditional metal substrates such as copper or nickel results in a ...
Polyurethane networks based on polycaprolactone and hyperbranched polyester: Structural, thermal and mechanical investigation
(Elsevier, 2019)
A series of environmentally friendly polyurethane (PU) networks based on polycaprolactone as soft segment (SS) and Boltorn® aliphatic hyperbranched polyester of the second pseudo generation as crosslinking agent was prepared ...
Characterisation of the binding of dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid to fibrinogen and the effects on fibrinogen oxidation and fibrin formation
(Elsevier, 2020)
A reduced form of the alpha-lipoic acid, dihydro-alpha-lipoic acid (DHLA) is a potent, naturally occurring antioxidant which can be consumed as food constituent or as supplement at doses up to 600 mg/day. DHLA has inhibitory ...
Role of aromatic amino acids in amyloid self-assembly
(Elsevier, 2020)
Amyloids are proteins of a cross-β structure found as deposits in several diseases and also in normal tissues (nails, spider net, silk). Aromatic amino acids are frequently found in amyloid deposits. Although they are not ...
