Antimicrobial and plant defence elicitor peptides have received attention on last decades as novel tools to combat bacterial plant diseases. We previously reported a library of peptide conjugates resulting from the combination ...
Eumelanin is a multifunctional biomaterial that colors the skin, hair and eyes of mammals. Despite years of effort, its molecular structure remains unknown, limiting our understanding of its biological function and the ...
The use of biogas as a renewable energy source is expanding rapidly, propelled by increasingly stringent climate policies that reduce fossil-fuel reliance and greenhouse gas emissions. However, trace impurities, particularly ...
Rare earth elements (REEs) are known for their specialized optical and electronic properties that have led to their use in a wide range of applications, such as luminescent fibers employed in security papers (e.g., bank ...
Sulfur (S) capturing materials working at supercritical water (SCW) conditions need to be designed and developed to overcome issues related with catalyst poisoning during the hydrothermal gasification of wet biomass, an ...
Photochemical aging in secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles alters their chemical composition and affects their adverse health effects. However, there is limited mechanistic insight on the role of transition metals ...
Siloxanes in biogas pose significant challenges to energy systems, leading to operational inefficiencies and increased maintenance costs. This study advances the liquid quench sampling system (LQ) for accurate quantification ...
This review explores recent advances in machine learning in chemistry, emphasizing mechanistic understanding, performance optimization, and emerging design strategies. Key developments include novel synthesis routes, ...
We investigated the effect of triisopropylsilyl (TIPS) functionalization of annihilators in triplet-triplet annihilation photon upconversion on their spin statistical probability factor. A new green annihilator ...
This study reports the application of a metallacarborane-based photocatalyst for the removal of organic micropollutants in water. The anionic θ-cobaltacarborane salt H[3,3’-Co(1,2-C2B9H11)2] (abbreviated as H[1]) was ...
This study presents a novel approach for studying metal-contaminant interactions in aquatic environments, based on a polymer inclusion membrane (PIM) as extraction technique, for the divalent metal ions (Ni(II), Cu(II), ...
Cancer continues to pose a significant global health burden, prompting ongoing exploration of innovative therapeutic strategies. Ruthenium-based complexes have emerged as promising alternatives to platinum drugs due to ...
Non-nutritive artificial sweeteners (NASs) are xenobiotics widely used in the food industry as sugar substitutes, since they provide few to no calories compared to sucrose. While NASs are considered safe at the acceptable ...

This study computationally investigates the reactivity of 1,2,5-azadiborolidine derivatives toward carbon monoxide (CO), extending ring-expansion mechanisms from borole chemistry. Establishing structural and electronic ...
Transition-metal (TM) ions 4d6 or 5d6 configurations, typically used in photoredox catalysis, are often rare and expensive. In contrast, abundant first-row TM ions tend to favour metal-centered excited states, limiting ...
Background: The accurate detection and quantification of elemental content in skin appendages, such as, hair and nails are pivotal in biomedical research, including disease diagnostics, environmental exposure monitoring, ...
C(sp3) –H bond activation mechanisms typically involve σ- and π-channel pathways, as characterized by FeOH (or FeOC) angles of ca. 180° and 120°, respectively. It is well known that the preference for either the σ- or ...
Hydrogenation process is considered a vital and important step in the production of Poly-alpha-olefin oils. The development of novel catalytic systems is crucial for enhancing the efficiency of hydroprocessing. In recent ...
N,N-Boc2 amides have emerged as the most common class of acyclic twisted amides that have been engaged in a range of C–N activation and cross-coupling processes of ubiquitous amide bonds. These amides are readily synthesized ...
