Bottom-up cubosome synthesis without organic solvents

DNA-templated synthesis in organic solvents.

DNA-templated organic synthesis (DTS) enables new modes of controlling chemical reactivity and allows evolutionary principles to be applied to the discovery of synthetic small molecules, synthetic polymers, and new chemical reactions. The structures that can be accessed in a DNA-templated format thus far have been limited to those that can be generated in aqueous solvents. Here we report effici...

Graphene synthesis: Nanoribbons from the bottom-up.

Bottom-up synthesis of chiral covalent organic frameworks and their bound capillaries for chiral separation

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are a novel class of porous materials, and offer great potential for various applications. However, the applications of COFs in chiral separation and chiral catalysis are largely underexplored due to the very limited chiral COFs available and their challenging synthesis. Here we show a bottom-up strategy to construct chiral COFs and an in situ growth approach ...

Self-healing microencapsulation of biomacromolecules without organic solvents.

Modern synthetic polymeric biomaterials are widely used to slowly release medicines over days to years after administration to the body. These polymers are configured in numerous biomedical and pharmaceutical forms (spheres, rods, coatings, porous matrices), including micrometer-tomillimeter-scale injectable depots, drug-eluting stents, scaffolds for engineering tissues, and blood-circulating n...

Separation of Phosvitin from Egg Yolk without Using Organic Solvents

The objective of this study was to develop a new method to separate phosvitin from egg yolk without using organic solvents. Phosvitin was extracted from yolk granules using 10% NaCl or 10% (NH4)2SO4 (final concentration) and then treated with heat to precipitate the lipoproteins from the extracted solution. The optimal pH for the phosvitin extraction from yolk granules was determined, and the i...
