Towards the rational design of nanoparticle catalysts
(2010-06)
This research is focused on development of routes towards the rational design of nanoparticle catalysts. Primarily, it is focused on two main projects; (1) the use of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) as greener media ...
Mass transport phenomena at hot microelectrodes
(2010-06)
Hot microelectrodes are very small electrodes (usually 1 – 100 µm in diameter), which have a surface temperature much higher than the temperature in the bulk solution. In this work, the heating is achieved by applying an ...
Mechanistic, inhibitory, and mutagenic studies of inositol dehydrogenase from Bacillus subtilis
(2010-06-17)
Inositol dehydrogenase (IDH, EC 1.1.1.18) from Bacillus subtilis catalyzes the reversible NAD+-dependent oxidation of the axial hydroxyl group of myo-inositol to form 2-keto-myo-inositol, NADH and H+. IDH is the first ...
Photophysics of Soret-excited Metallated Tetrapyrroles in Solution: Experimental and Theoretical Studies
(2009)
The photophysics of highly electronically excited states of a set of d0 and d10 metallated tetrapyrroles, which have different peripheral substituents and central metal atoms, macrocycle substitution patterns and macrocycle ...
Applications of ferrocene-peptide conjugates : towards new biosensors and materials
(2007-07-31)
Ferrocene-peptide conjugates represent a hybrid area between organometallic chemistry and biochemistry. In these bioconjugates, the ferrocene (Fc) moiety can serve as molecular scaffold, chromophore, sensitive probe, ...
Controlling the structure of peptide using ferrocene as a molecular scaffold
(2007-06-13)
The de novo design of peptides is a central area of research in chemical biology. Although it is now possible to design helical peptide structures from first principle, designing â-sheets remains a challenge. Significant ...
New catalysts for olefin polymerization
(2010)
Aluminum- and gallium-bridged ansa-zirconocene compounds (Pytsi)Al[1]ZCP (31a) and (Pytsi)Ga[1]ZCP (31b) containing a bulky trisyl-based ligand with a pyridyl donor group [Pytsi = -C(SiMe3)2SiMe2(2-C5H4N)] were synthesized ...
The radiation chemistry of aqueous ferrous sulphate solutions
(1951)
The passage of particles such as alpha particles, electrons, and protons, or electromagnetic radiations in the form of X-rays or gamma rays, through a medium such as air or water, causes ionization in the medium by interaction ...
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum : phytotoxins and metabolism of phytoalexins
(2003)
Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary is a plant pathogenic fungus causing serious
yield losses in a broad range of cultivated plants, excluding cereals. Most of the
economically important brassicas such as canola, ...
Speciation modelling of copper (II) in the thiomolybdate : contaminated bovine rumen
(2007-07-31)
Copper is one of the most vital trace elements in ruminant nutrition. It is required for several metabolic activities and it is also an essential component of several physiologically important metalloenzymes. Thus copper ...
