During an extensive geochemical and geophysical survey of the outer slope of the northwestern Gulf of Mexico nine piston cores were recovered which had visible liquid organic deposits. In three of the cores deposits were ...

The coordination chemistry of the very heavy pnictogens, bismuth in particular, have been historically underdeveloped compared to the chemistry of their lighter congeners. Unlike nitrogen and phosphorous, among the most ...

Modified oligonucleotides with redox-active functional groups could emerge as attractive tools for sensor development. In principle, changes in oligonucleotide hybridization or conformation may be read out as a change in ...

Post-translational modifications (PTMs) are important for regulating protein structure and function. Despite significant progress for PTM analysis using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), opportunities ...

The two most successful commercial sensors in self-diagnostics are the pregnancy test and the blood glucose meter. Our opinion is that too much time has gone by without successful commercialization of more consumer operated ...

Transition metal catalyzed transfer hydrogenative methods for carbon-carbon bond construction are attractive alternatives to tradition carbonyl addition protocols. By generating carbonyl and organometallic species in-situ, ...

Ultraviolet photodissociation (UVPD) is an alternative high-energy ion activation technique implemented to produce information rich tandem mass spectra. Dissociation of biomolecules by UVPD results in structure dependent ...

Significant efforts have been made to develop synthetic receptors with high selectivity and affinity for specific anions or ion pairs. Calix[4]pyrroles, conformationally flexible tetrapyrrolic macrocycles defined by sp³ ...

Sequence-defined polymers are a promising platform of discovery for the fields of biomimetics, self-assembly, catalysis, and information storage. The power of these polymers lies in their primary structure, which can beget ...
