Ice Formation in Model Biological Membranes in the Presence of Cryoprotectors [PDF]
Ice formation in model biological membranes is studied by SAXS and WAXS in the presence of cryoprotectors: dimethyl sulfoxide and glycerol. Three types of phospholipid membranes: DPPC, DMPC, DSPC are chosen for the investigation as well-studied model biological membranes. A special cryostat is used for sample cooling from 14.1C to -55.4C.

Optical Fingerprints of Polynuclear Complexes in Lead-Halide Perovskite Precursor Solutions [PDF]
Solvent-solute interactions in precursor solutions of lead halide perovskites (LHP) critically impact the quality of solution-processed materials, as they lead to the formation of a variety of poly-iodoplumbates that act as building blocks for LHP. The formation of [PbI$_{2+n}$]$^{n-}$ complexes is often expected in diluted solutions while coordination

EMReact: A Tool for Modelling Electromagnetic Field Induced Effects in Chemical Reactions by Solving the Discrete Stochastic Master Equation [PDF]
The effects of electromagnetic fields (EMF) have been widely debated concerning their role in chemical reactions. Reactions usually took hours or days to complete, and have been shown to happen a thousand times faster using EMF radiations. This work develops a formalism and a computer program to evaluate and quantify the EMF effects in chemical ...

Microwave-assisted photooxidation of sulfoxides
We demonstrated microwave-assisted photooxidation of sulfoxides to the corresponding sulfones using ethynylbenzene as a photosensitizer. Efficiency of the photooxidation was higher under microwave irradiation than under conventional thermal heating ...

Flavoprotein monooxygenases for oxidative biocatalysis: recombinant expression in microbial hosts and applications [PDF]
External flavoprotein monooxygenases comprise a group of flavin-dependent oxidoreductases that catalyze the insertion of one atom of molecular oxygen into an organic substrate and the second atom is reduced to water. These enzymes are involved in a great

Influence of Sulfoxide Group Placement on Polypeptide Conformational Stability. [PDF]
The synthesis of a homologous series containing five new nonionic sulfoxide containing polypeptides was described. Sulfoxide groups bestowed water solubility for all homologues, which allowed their use as a model for study of helix-coil transitions in ...
