Mn(TPP)Cl catalyzes cooxidation of olefin in the singlet oxygenation of sulfid. Mn(TPP)Cl is able to transfer an oxygen atom from a peroxidic intermediate generated in singlet oxygenation of sulfide to a metal ion affording metal 0x0 species which is responsible for epoxidation. This system leads to allcenes epoxidation such as styrene and cyclooctene. Epoxidation of cyclohexene produces cy...

exfoliated poly (chloromethyl styrene-co-styrene)-g-polyacrylonitryle/organo- modified montmorillonite [p(cmst-co-st)-g-pan/o-mmt] nanocomposite was synthesized through solution intercalation method by using atom transfer and nitroxide mediated radical polymerization. at first, poly (chloromethyl styrene-costyrene) copolymer was synthesized by nitroxide - mediated “living” free radical polyme...

Membrane proteins are molecular machines that transport ions, solutes, or information across the cell membrane. Electrophysiological techniques have unraveled many functional aspects of ion channels but suffer from the lack of structural sensitivity. Here, we present spectroelectrochemical data on vibrational changes of membrane proteins derived from a single monolayer. For the seven-helical tr...

Maintenance of ion balance requires that ionoregulatory epithelia modulate ion flux in response to internal or environmental osmotic challenges. We have explored the basis of this functional plasticity in the gills of the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus. The expression patterns of several genes encoding ion transport proteins were quantified after transfer from near-isosmotic brackis...

Divalent metal ions play a crucial role in catalysis by many RNA and protein enzymes that carry out phosphoryl transfer reactions, and defining their interactions with substrates is critical for understanding the mechanism of biological phosphoryl transfer. Although a vast amount of structural work has identified metal ions bound at the active site of many phosphoryl transfer enzymes, the numbe...

The use of electron-transfer dissociation as an alternative peptide ion activation method for generation of protein sequence information is examined here in comparison with the conventional method of choice, collisionally activated dissociation, using a linear ion trapping instrument. Direct comparability between collisionally and electron-transfer-activated product ion data were ensured by emp...

Nitrogen-doped activated porous carbon fibres (ACFs) were prepared as anode materials for Na-ion batteries. They exhibit excellent electrochemical performance, especially rate performance. The excellent rate performance is ascribed to the fibre-like morphology and the facilitated charge transfer. The influence of nitrogen functionalities on charge transfer and electrochemical performance of N-d...

The ability to form multiply charged high-mass ions in the gas-phase, most notably via electrospray ionization (ESI), has allowed the study of many different combinations of positively and negatively charged ions. The charged products are directly amenable to study with mass spectrometry. Ion/ion reactions have proved to be "universal" in the sense that the high exothermicities and large rate c...
