Recently Developed Carbohydrate Based Gelators and Their Applications

Development of low-molecular-weight gelators and polymer-based gelators

In this review, the development of low-molecular-weight gelators and polymer-based gelators is described. The driving forces for physical gelation are non-covalent bonds, such as hydrogen bonds, electrostatic interactions, van der Waals interactions and p–p interactions. When gelation occurs, the gelator molecules self-assemble into macromolecule-like aggregates through non-covalent intermolecu...

Carbohydrate-based lactones: synthesis and applications.

The synthesis and uses of different kinds of carbohydrate-based lactones are described. This group of compounds includes aldonolactones, other related monocyclic lactones and bicyclic systems. The latter can arise from uronic acids, carboxymethyl ethers or glycosides, or from C-branched sugars.

Magentotactic bacteria and their applications

Magentotactic bacteria are the types of bacteria capable of orientation in an external magnetic field because of the ability to produce structures called magnetosomes. Magnetosomes, nanometer-scale structures, are present in most of the magnetotactice bacteria. They are intracellular organelles composed of magnetic iron mineral crystals individually surrounded by a phospholipid layer. Because o...
