Chemical synthesis and functionalization of clickable glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchors.

Facile functionalization of polypeptides by thiol-yne photochemistry for biomimetic materials synthesis.

Rapid and highly efficient side-chain functionalization of polypeptides was achieved via combination of ring-opening polymerization of a new clickable monomer of γ-propargyl-L-glutamate N-carboxyanhydride (PLG-NCA) and thiol-yne photochemistry, which provides a convenient and universal route to prepare diverse polypeptide-based biomimetic hybrid materials.

A green chemistry approach for facile synthesis of functionalized boron nitride nanosheets

The lack of a high-yield, renewable and low-cost synthesis method limits the potential applications of boron nitride with impressive characterizations. In this study, a facile method is developed for the preparation of chemically functionalized boron nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) by considering the quantity and quality of chemical materials involved in the synthesis process. The proposed green met...

Synthesis of thiol-clickable and block copolypeptide brushes via nickel-mediated surface initiated polymerization of α-amino acid N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs).

We describe the synthesis of homo-, block, and clickable copolypeptide brushes from low surface area substrates using nickel-mediated surface-initiated polymerization of α-amino N-carboxyanhydrides.

Requirement of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases and IkB Phosphorylation for Induction of Proinflammatory Cytokines Synthesis by Macrophages Indicates Functional Similarity of Receptors Triggered by Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchors from Parasitic Protozoa and Bacterial Lipopolysaccharide

SPION Conjugated Curcumin Nano-Imaging Probe: Synthesis and Bio-Physical Evaluation

In this work, we investigate the loading and conjugation of Curcumin on oleic acid (OA) and citric acid (CA) functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles and its applications in improving contrast in MRI. Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4, MNPs) synthesized using the co-precipitation method and characterized by XRD, DLS, FT-IR, VSM and SEM. FT-IR results confirmed functionalization with oleic...
