Fiber Depolymerization [PDF]

Biophysical Journal, 2006
Depolymerization is, by definition, a crucial process in the reversible assembly of various biopolymers. It may also be an important factor in the pathology of sickle cell disease. If sickle hemoglobin fibers fail to depolymerize fully during passage through the lungs then they will reintroduce aggregates into the systemic circulation and eliminate or ...

Filament Depolymerization by Motor Molecules [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2005
Motor proteins that specifically interact with the ends of cytoskeletal filaments can induce filament depolymerization. A phenomenological description of this process is presented. We show that under certain conditions motors dynamically accumulate at the filament ends.

Depolymerization-Induced Morphological Transformation [PDF]

Journal of the American Chemical Society
Depolymerization offers a powerful route for the chemical recycling of vinyl polymers. However, current strategies focus almost exclusively on monomer recovery, which overlooks broader applications and opportunities. Herein, depolymerization-induced morphological transformation (DIMT) is introduced as a modular methodology to control the shape of ...

Hydrogenative Depolymerization of Nylons [PDF]

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2020
The widespread crisis of plastic pollution demands discovery of new and sustainable approaches to degrade robust plastics such as nylons. Using a green and sustainable approach based on hydrogenation, in the presence of a ruthenium pincer catalyst at 150 °C and 70 bar H2, we report here the first example of hydrogenative depolymerization of ...

Enzymatic depolymerization of emulsan [PDF]

Journal of Bacteriology, 1983
Emulsan, the polyanionic emulsifying agent synthesized by Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1, was depolymerized by an enzyme obtained from a soil bacterium YUV-1. The extracellular emulsan depolymerase was produced when strains RAG-1 and YUV-1 were grown together on agar medium.

Thermochemical Depolymerization of Biomass

Procedia Computer Science, 2015
AbstractBiomass is considered as a clean source of renewable energy, utilization of biomass may reduce the environmental pollutions. This paper presents a review of the chemistry and process of depolymerization of biomass; which results in production of oil and gaseous fuels from such important renewable energy source.

Microtubule Depolymerization and Tau Phosphorylation

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, 2013
Inge Grundke-Iqbal and Khalid Iqbal found a connection between microtubule associated tau and Alzheimer's disease. They described that abnormally phosphorylated tau is a component of the paired helical filaments found in the disease. Afterwards they described that tau hyperphosphorylation prevents microtubule assembly.

Low‐Temperature Depolymerization of Polymethacrylamides

Angewandte Chemie International Edition
Abstract The depolymerization of polymers synthesized by reversible deactivation radical polymerization (RDRP) has recently garnered significant attention due to its potential for recovering monomers at low temperatures. However, current reports focus solely on polymethacrylates, significantly limiting applications, scope, and ...

METHOD FOR THE DEPOLYMERIZATION OF LIGNIN

, 2014
A catalytic method is disclosed for the valorization of lignin. The method comprises subjecting lignin to a catalyzed hydrothermal conversion reaction, said reaction being conducted in the presence of water at an alkaline pH > 8 and a temperature of 200°C-300°C, under the influence of a noble metal catalyst comprising a carbon support.
