Dosage compensation, mediated by the MSL complex, regulates X-chromosomal gene expression in Drosophila. Here we report that the histone H4 lysine 16 (H4K16) specific histone acetyltransferase MOF displays differential binding behavior depending on whether the target gene is located on the X chromosome versus the autosomes. More specifically, on the male X chromosome, where MSL1 and MSL3 are pr...

In order to promote the selective water permeation through porous filler, hydrophilic MOF-801 crystals with superior water adsorption ability were incorporated into chitosan (CS) matrix to fabricate MOF-801/CS mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for pervaporation dehydration of ethanol. Both the experimental and molecular simulation results confirm the selective adsorption of water molecules in MOF-8...

In addition to their conventional uses, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as an interesting class of functional materials and precursors of inorganic materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies. This class of MOF-related materials can be broadly categorized into two groups: pristine MOF-based materials and MOF-derived functional materials. Althou...

Aluminum aminoterephthalate MOF particulate materials (NH(2)-MIL-101(Al) and NH(2)-MIL-53(Al)), studied here as components of self-detoxifying surfaces, retained their reactivity following their covalent attachment to protective surfaces utilizing a newly developed strategy in which the MOF particles were deposited on a reactive adhesive composed of polyisobutylene/toluene diisocyanate (PIB/TDI...

manganese metal-organic framework (mn-mof) containing mn2+ ions, benzenetricarboxylic acid (btc) and n,n-dimethylformamid (dmf) was prepared and used as catalyst for oxidation of alkenes such as 1,1-diphenylethylene, trans-stilbene, cyclohexene, norbornene, styrene and cyclooctene to epoxides with 33-92% conversion and 75-100% selectivity and oxidation of alkanes such as fluorene, adamantane, e...

Effective thermal conductivity is an important thermophysical property in the design of metal-organic framework-5 (MOF-5)-based hydrogen storage tanks. A modified thermal conductivity model is built by coupling a theoretical model with the grand canonical Monte Carlo simulation (GCMC) to predict the effect of the H2 adsorption process on the effective thermal conductivity of a MOF-5 powder bed ...

The present review describes recent advances in the concept of molecular imprinting using metal organic frameworks (MOF) for development of chemical sensors. Two main strategies regarding the fabrication, performance and applications of recent sensors based on molecularly imprinted polymers associated with MOF are presented: molecularly imprinted MOF films and molecularly imprinted core-shell n...
