Synergy effect of alpha particles by using natural boron in proton therapy: Computational verification

AIP Advances, 2019
The use of boron (11B) is recently being investigated to be applied in proton therapy as a proton boron fusion dose enhancement agent. Alpha particles are emitted from the p + 11B → 3α fusion (PBF) reaction analogous to the 10B(n,7Li)α capture (BNC ...

Photo‐Switched Catalytic Amyloids

Small, EarlyView.
Photo‐switched reversible hierarchical assembly of catalytic amyloid fibrils is accomplished by mixing an amphiphilic cross‐ß peptide with a merocyanine photo switch. The peptide monomers, comprising phenylalanine‐lysine repeats, do not self‐assemble in water because of the electrostatic repulsion.
