S. Lobsiger, S. Blaser, R. K. Sinha, H.-M. Frey, and S. Leutwyler*, Nature Chem. 2014, 6, 989. University of Bern 2-Aminopurine (2AP) iswidely used as a site-specific fluorescent probe of DNA and RNA base-flipping and -folding. The group of S. Leutwyler showed that 2AP is not intrinsically strongly fluorescent, contrary to widespread belief. Gas-phase, jet-cooled 2AP and 9-methyl-2AP have very ...

Isolated soy-protein products are useful for food ingredients because they provide solubility, water binding, fat adsorption, emulsification, viscosity, gelation, foaming, adhesion and cohesion, texturization, and flavor formation. Soy-protein concentrates (SPCs) and soy (SPIs) are the representative soy Conventionally, SPCs and SPIs have been produced by removing non-protein portions such as o...
