Triazole biotin: A tight-binding biotinidase-resistant conjugate
The natural amide bond found in all biotinylated proteins has been replaced with a triazole through CuAAC reaction of an alkynyl biotin derivative. The resultant triazole-linked adducts are shown to...

Solution-processed perylenediimides (PDIs) with varying peri and bay substituents are characterized in order to better understand the relationships between molecular structure, solid state order,...
View ArticleA Liquid CO2-Compatible Hydrocarbon Surfactant: Experiment and Modeling
Surfactants soluble in liquid CO2 are rare and knowledge on interfacial and self-assembly behaviour is fragmented. We found that polyoxyethylene (5) isooctylphenyl ether is interfacially active at the...
