Development of the First Tritiated Tetrazine: Facilitating Tritiation of Proteins

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 23, Issue 23, December 5, 2022., 2022
A tritiated tetrazine based on a phenyl/pyridyl core structure was successfully radiolabeled with NaBT4 by reducing an aldehyde moiety. The synthon was effectively employed to label an antibody in vitro with pretargeted autoradiography. Abstract Tetrazine (Tz)–trans‐cyclooctene (TCO) ligation is an ultra‐fast and highly selective reaction and it is ...

3D X‐Ray Diffraction Characterization of Grain Growth and Recrystallization in Rolled Braze Clad Aluminum Sheet

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2021., 2021
3D X‐ray diffraction (3DXRD) provides a map showing the center‐of‐mass position of each grain in a braze clad Al sheet exposed to controlled atmosphere brazing, where a cooling block is placed on one end of the sample. Every circle represents a grain, while the diameter and color of the circles correspond to the grain size and orientation, respectively.
