Recognition of biological substrates based on supramolecular interation and its application to chirality sensing with circular dichroism spectroscopy

Supramolecular chirality measured by diffuse reflectance circular dichroism spectroscopy.

Supramolecular chirality of crystals which display chirality only in the solid state was for the first time measured by diffuse reflectance circular dichroism (DRCD) spectroscopy for sublimable 1 : 1 pyrene (PYR)-p-benzoquinone (Q) complex, and its integrity was proved.

construction and validation of translation metacognitive strategy questionnaire and its application to translation quality

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Chirality and Multi-photon Photoelectron Circular Dichroism

Direct observation and pH control of reversed supramolecular chirality in insulin fibrils by vibrational circular dichroism.

The controlled reversal of supramolecular helical chirality in protein fibrils is reported for the first time. Normal or reversed insulin fibrils were grown by precise adjustment of pH. AFM images show two polymorphs corresponding to opposite senses of helical twist of the supramolecular structure with the same cross-β-sheet core.

Circular dichroism and its application to the study of biomolecules.

Circular dichroism (CD) is an excellent method for the study of the conformations adopted by proteins and nucleic acids in solution. Although not able to provide the beautifully detailed residue-specific information available from nuclearmagnetic resonance (NMR) and X-ray crystallography, CD measurements have two major advantages: they can be made on small amounts of material in physiological b...
