The applications of biocatalysts in chemical industries are characterized by activity, selectivity, and stability. One key strategy to achieve high biocatalytic activity is the identification of novel enzymes with kinetics optimized for organic synthesis by Nature. The isolation of novel

A new paradigm in oncology establishes a spectrum of tumorigenic potential across the heterogeneous phenotypes within a tumor. The cancer stem cell hypothesis postulates that a minute fraction of cells within a tumor, termed cancer stem cells (CSCs), have a

Porous lead(II)-based metal-organic nanotubes (Pb-MONTs) were, for the first time, used as an adsorbent for dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) of polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) at trace levels from environmental water samples. Gas chromatography-negative chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (GC-NCI-MS) was applied for

A series of dyes using tetrachloroperylene dianhydride as fluorescent chromophore was synthesized by the substitution of suitable aliphatic and alicyclic alcohols in alkaline medium, and evaluation of dyes was done for their optical, electrochemical and thermal properties. These dyes exhibited
The Michael hydratase - alcohol dehydrogenase (MhyADH) from Alicycliphilus denitrificans was previously identified as a bi-functional enzyme performing a hydration of α,β-unsaturated ketones and subsequent oxidation of the formed alcohols. The investigations of the bi-functionality were based on a spectrophotometric
