Insights into DNA platination within unusual structural settings [PDF]
2D [1H, 15N] HSQC NMR spectroscopy has been used to monitor reaction and product formation between [Pt(15NH3)2I2] and nucleic acids possessing irregular topologies and containing site specific phosphorothioate substitution in the phosphodiester backbone.

Halogen Bonding in Sulphonamide Co-Crystals: X···π Preferred over X···O/N?
Sulphonamides have been one of the major pharmaceutical compound classes since their introduction in the 1930s. Co-crystallisation of sulphonamides with halogen bonding (XB) might lead to a new class of pharmaceutical-relevant co-crystals. We present the

Synthesis and characterization of hybrid organic-inorganic materials based on sulphonated polyamideimide and silica [PDF]
The preparation of hybrid organic–inorganic membrane materials based on a sulphonated polyamideimide resin and silica filler has been studied. The method allows the sol–gel process to proceed in the presence of a high molecular weight polyamideimide,

Evolution of the Immunoglobulin Isotypes—Variations of Biophysical Properties among Animal Classes
The adaptive immune system arose around 500 million years ago in jawed fish, and, since then, it has mediated the immune defense against pathogens in all vertebrates.

Density functional theory in transition-metal chemistry: a self-consistent Hubbard U approach
Transition-metal centers are the active sites for many biological and inorganic chemical reactions. Notwithstanding this central importance, density-functional theory calculations based on generalized-gradient approximations often fail to describe ...

Nonempirical Range-separated Hybrid Functionals for Solids and Molecules [PDF]
Dielectric-dependent hybrid (DDH) functionals were recently shown to yield accurate energy gaps and dielectric constants for a wide variety of solids, at a computational cost considerably less than that of GW calculations.
