Biofilms growing on electrodes are the heart piece of bioelectrochemical systems (BES). Moreover, the biofilm morphology is key for the efficient performance of BES and must be monitored and controlled for a stable operation.

Jahn-Teller instability in C6H6+ and C6H6- revisited
The benzene cation (C6H6+) has a doublet (e_{1g}) ground state in hexagonal ring (D_{6h}) geometry. Therefore a Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion will lower the energy.

On the prevalence of bridged macrocyclic pyrroloindolines formed in regiodivergent alkylations of tryptophan. [PDF]
A Friedel-Crafts alkylation is described that efficiently transforms tryptophan-containing peptides into macrocycles of varying ring connectivity. Factors are surveyed that influence the distribution of regioisomers, with a focus on indole C3-alkylations

DNA Damaging Agents in Chemical Biology and Cancer
Despite their toxicity, DNA alkylating drugs remain a cornerstone of anticancer therapy. The classical thinking was that rapidly dividing tumour cells left more of its DNA in an exposed single-stranded state, making these rapidly dividing cells more ...

On deflection fields, weak-focusing and strong-focusing storage rings for polar molecules [PDF]
In this paper, we analyze electric deflection fields for polar molecules in terms of a multipole expansion and derive a simple but rather insightful expression for the force on the molecules. Ideally, a deflection field exerts a strong, constant force in one direction, while the force in the other directions is zero.

Evaluating the origin and spread of spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) in Japan
The invasive spotted lanternfly (Lycorma delicatula) is native to China and is a serious economic pest in the Republic of Korea and the United States, though it is not considered a pest in Japan. We established a distribution map of L. delicatula in Japan through a comprehensive review of published literature and citizen science reports and analyzed ...

The 1,2,3-triazole ring as a bioisostere in medicinal chemistry
1,2,3-Triazole is a well-known scaffold that has a widespread occurrence in different compounds characterized by several bioactivities, such as antimicrobial, antiviral, and antitumor effects. Moreover, the structural features of 1,2,3-triazole enable it to mimic different functional groups, justifying its wide use as a bioisostere for the synthesis of

Lithiation of 4-membered heterocycles as useful strategy for the preparation of new molecular scaffolds: addressing the regioselectivity in azetidines and thietanes [PDF]
Four-membered heterocycles (4-MH) with one or two heteroatoms are of great importance in medicinal chemistry and synthetic organic chemistry. This kind of scaffolds show peculiar structural features, related to the ring “puckering”, and biological ...
