Revealing the Specificity of Human H1 Influenza A Viruses to Complex N-Glycans
(American Chemical Society, 2023-02)
Influenza virus infection remains a threat to human health since viral hemagglutinins are constantly drifting, escaping infection and vaccine-induced antibody responses. Viral hemag-glutinins from different viruses display ...
Biomimetic Tweezers for N-Glycans: Selective Recognition of the Core GlcNAc(2) Disaccharide of the Sialylglycopeptide SGP
(Wiley, 2023-03)
In recent years, glycomics have shown how pervasive the role of carbohydrates in biological systems is and how chemical tools are essential to investigate glycan function and modulate carbohydrate-mediated processes. ...
Current Status and Future Perspective on Lithium Metal Anode Production Methods
(Wiley, 2023-04)
Lithium metal batteries (LMBs) are one of the most promising energy storage technologies that would overcome the limitations of current Li-ion batteries, based on their low density (0.534 g cm−3), low reduction potential ...
Investigating the effect of synthesis selection on O3-sodium layered oxide structural changes and electrochemical properties
(Frontiers Media, 2023-04)
Transition metal (TM) layered oxides constitute a promising family of materials for use in Na-ion battery cathodes. Here O3-Na (Ni1/3Mn1/3Fe1/3) O2 was synthesised using optimised sol-gel and solid-state routes, and the ...
Switchable Brønsted Acid-Catalyzed Ring Contraction of Cyclooctatetraene Oxide Towards the Enantioselective Synthesis of Cycloheptatrienyl-Substituted Homoallylic Alcohols and Oxaborinanes
(Wiley, 2023-04)
The ability of cyclooctatetraene oxide to undergo two sequential ring contraction events under mild conditions, using Brønsted acid catalysis, has been studied in detail. We have found that the selectivity can be controlled ...
Highly Diastereoselective Multicomponent Synthesis of Spirocyclopropyl Oxindoles Enabled by Rare-Earth Metal Salts
(American Chemical Society, 2023-04)
The synthesis of polysubstituted spirocyclopropyl oxindoles using a series of rare-earth metal (REM) salts is reported. REMs, in particular Sc(OTf)3, allowed access to the target compounds by a multicomponent reaction with ...
Development of synthetic, self-adjuvanting, and self-assembling anticancer vaccines based on a minimal saponin adjuvant and the tumor- associated MUC1 antigen
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2023-04)
The overexpression of aberrantly glycosylated tumor-associated mucin-1 (TA-MUC1) in human cancers
makes it a major target for the development of anticancer vaccines derived from synthetic MUC1-(glyco)
peptide antigens. ...
A Lamellar Zn-Based Coordination Polymer Showing Increasing Photoluminescence upon Dehydration
(MDPI, 2023-07-25)
The present study reports on a 2D lamellar coordination polymer (CP) of {[Zn(µ3-pmdc)(H2O)]·H2O}n formula (pmdc = pyrimidine-4,6-dicarboxylate). This CP is synthesized under an appropriate acid-base reaction between the ...
Improving the Recyclability of an Epoxy Resin through the Addition of New Biobased Vitrimer
(MDPI, 2023-09-12)
In recent decades, the use of thermoset epoxy resins (ER) has spread to countless applications due to their mechanical properties, heat resistance and stability. However, these ERs are neither biodegradable nor recyclable ...
Iron-catalyzed cascade synthesis of nitrogen polycycles from alkynoic acids and functionalized amines
(Springer, 2022-12)
Catalysis by first-row transition metals is of increasing interest in the context of the scarcity of chemical resources. For instance, iron is promising due to its abundance, low toxicity and unique electronic features. ...
