A series of functional polycarbonates, poly((isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether)-co-(glycidyl methyl ether) carbonate) (P((IGG-co-GME) C)) random copolymers with different fractions of 1,2-isopropylidene glyceryl glycidyl ether (IGG) units, is synthesized. After acidic hydrolysis of the acetal protecting groups, a new type of

The autophagy-related proteins are thought to serve multiple functions in Plasmodium and are considered essential to parasite survival and development. We have studied two key interacting proteins, Atg8 and Atg3, of the autophagy pathway in Plasmodium falciparum. These proteins are

The crystal structure of a cocrystal comprising a complex of a bis(imidazolium) ionic liquid hosted by pyrogallol[4]arene (PgC) macrocycles is reported. Introduction of the dicationic species yields complexation by two PgC macrocycles, the resulting bilayer structure formed from alternately arranged

Pyrogallol[4]arene is a macrocycle with a concave surface and 12 peripheral hydroxyl groups that mediate its self-assembly to form hexamers of octahedral symmetry in the solid state, in solution, and in the gas phase. These hexamers enclose approximately 1300 Å(3)
The formation of anthocyanin-metal chelates, exhibiting intense blue colours was monitored over a period up to 10 weeks. Evaluating normalised absorption spectra in the range of 580-700 nm and their proportion of the total area under the curve (AUC), provided
