Molecular Recognition of Glycan-Bearing Glycomacromolecules Presented at Membrane Surfaces by Lectins: An NMR View
(American Chemical Society, 2023-05)
Lectin–glycan interactions are at the heart of a multitude of biological events. Glycans are usually presented in a multivalent manner on the cell surface as part of the so-called glycocalyx, where they interact with other ...
Systematic Approach to the Synthesis of Cobalt-Containing Polyoxometalates for Their Application as Energy Storage Materials
(MDPI, 2023-07-17)
New energy storage materials are an object of study within the framework of the global energy transition. The development of renewable sources is being boosted thanks to stationary energy storage systems such as redox flow ...
Lithium Iron Phosphate/Carbon (LFP/C) Composite Using Nanocellulose as a Reducing Agent and Carbon Source
(MDPI, 2023-06-09)
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4, LFP) is the most promising cathode material for use in safe electric vehicles (EVs), due to its long cycle stability, low cost, and low toxicity, but it suffers from low conductivity and ...
Preparation of Selenium-Based Drug-Modified Polymeric Ligand-Functionalised Fe3O4 Nanoparticles as Multimodal Drug Carrier and Magnetic Hyperthermia Inductor
(MDPI, 2023-06-30)
In recent years, much effort has been invested into developing multifunctional drug delivery systems to overcome the drawbacks of conventional carriers. Magnetic nanoparticles are not generally used as carriers but can be ...
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 ...
