Minor changes to complex structures can exert major influences on synthesis strategy and functional properties but synthetic difficulties can obstruct the exploration of natural product function. Here the author
The aim of the present research was to study the effect of pyrolysis temperature on physicochemical properties of miscanthus (Miscanthus× giganteus) biochar and on its short-term stability. Biochar properties were assessed by FTIR spectroscopy, CHN-elemental and simultaneous thermogravimetry (STA) ...
Although natural products and synthetic small molecules both serve important medicinal functions, their structures and chemical properties are relatively distinct. To expand the molecular diversity available for drug discovery, one strategy is to blend the effective attributes of synthetic and natural molecul...
The aim of this work was to determine the chemical and functional properties of novel dietary fibers, from different unconventional sources including green beans, sotol pineapple, prickly pear husks (green and red), sotol wastes, corn flour and wheat bran, which can be used as functional dietary...
A disaccharide is formed when two monosaccharides (simple sugars) undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water, from the functional groups only. Like monosaccharides, disaccharides are soluble in water. Three common monosaccharides are sucrose, lactose...
The chemical composition of the different ALE extracts was characterized by several different and complementary analytical methods: biochemical colorimetric assays (polysaccharides, proteins, humic substances), FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and enzymatic tests. The mechanical properties of hydrogels were quantified ...
Thus being from the same family, it is also necessary to develop a hypothesis relating physico-chemical properties of GO and rGO to their biological responses. Particularly, there is dearth of information regarding how the lateral dimension and functional groups of different GD dictate their ...

Fractionation is the process of classification of an analyte or a group of analytes from a certain sample according to physical (e.g., size and solubility) or chemical (e.g., bonding and reactivity) properties. These definitions allow to clarifying the differences between the terms “speciation...
