A comparative study of the binding of square planar cis- and trans-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] complexes and the octahedral [Ru(NH3)5(H2O)]3+ complex to tRNAphe from yeast was carried out by X-ray crystallography. Both of the carcinostatic compounds, cis-[Pt(NH3)2Cl2] and [Ru(NH3)5(H2O)]3+ show similarities in their

Ammineruthenium(III) complexes have been found to act as electron acceptors for the transplasmalemma electron transport system of animal cells. The active complexes hexaammineruthenium(III), pyridine pentammineruthenium(III), and chloropentaammineruthenium(III) range in redox potential (E'0) from 305 to -42 mV. These compounds also

Materials for Clean H2 Production from Bioethanol Reforming

Hydrogen is one of the most important resources in providing food, fuel, and chemical products for our everyday life. Sustainable catalytic hydrogen production from bioethanol has gained significant attention in recent years due to globally diminishing fossil fuel supplies, which have necessitated the search for new chemical feedstocks.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
