alkenyl group- the hydrocarbon group formed when a hydrogen atom is removed from an alkene group. alkoxide- an organic functional group formed when a hydrogen atom is removed from the hydroxyl group of an alcohol when it is reacted with a metal. alkoxy group- functional group containing an al...
In order to determine swimming behaviors of individual Daphnia, we used a proven protocol (Ekvall et al. 2013; Palmér et al. 2016; Langer et al. 2019). This required labelling each individual with either red or yellow nanoparticles (Qdot™ ITK™ Carboxyl Quantum Dots; Life Technologies Co...
Cyclic dimeric guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP) serves as a bacterial second messenger that modulates various processes including biofilm formation, motility, and host-microbe symbiosis. Numerous studies have conducted comprehensive analysis of c-di-GM
1a–c). Specifically, we develop a polymer network comprised of poly(acrylic) acid functionalized with N-hydroxysuccinimide ester (PAA-NHS ester) interpenetrated with and grafted to a hydrophilic polyurethane (PU). A key innovation of this material is the ability to process it into a ...
Lactonization occurs between the carboxyl group of the terminal amino acid (Gln) and the hydroxyl group on the side chain of the fourth amino acid (Ser). Its common peptide sequence is Thr-Gly-Ala-Ser-His-Gln-Gln, corresponding to a cationic peptide. Four different FA have been detected ...
The α1(VI) and α2(VI) chains have a similar size and a short collagenous sequence flanked by three type A-like domains, one at the amino end and two at the carboxyl end. The α3(VI) chain is three times larger than the other two chains and most of the additional sequences are...
(Caillolet al., 2012). On the other hand, we have developed a synthetic strategy, which allows reaching a wide range of soft pseudo-telechelic diols from vegetable oils methyl esters. The soft segments of vegetable oils were comprised of either ester groups (one or two) or amide groups ...
of new sustainable polymers and biobased substitutes for fine chemicals such as bisphenol A diglycidyl ethers. Non-oxidative microbial decarboxylation ofp-hydroxycinnamic acids into vinylphenols involves cofactor-free and metal-independent phenolic acid decarboxylases (EC 4.1.1 carboxyl lyase family). ...
The binding of intrinsically disordered proteins to globular ones can require the folding of motifs into α-helices. These interactions offer opportunities for therapeutic intervention but their modulation with small molecules is challenging because they
