In bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)amide (TFSA-)-based ionic liquid (IL), 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium TFSA- ([C2mIm][TFSA]), the complex formation equilibria of zinc(II) ion (Zn2+) with ethylenediamine (EN) have been investigated. An EN molecule may coordinate with Zn2+ as a bidentate ligand. First, the formation of Zn2+-EN complexes in [C2mIm][TFSA] w...

Ionic liquids (ILs) as polar components in nonaqueous microemulsions are complex formulations that have interesting transport and structural properties, and offer broader applicability of ILs in areas such as drug delivery and cleaning technology. The phase behavior, electrical conductivity, and nanostructures of these formulations have been invest...

5-(tert-Butyl)-2-hydroxy-1,3-isophthalaldehyde (5-tBHI) is a photochromic material susceptible to either excited state proton transfer or excited state intramolecular proton transfer, depending upon the solvent. However, it has also been found to aggregate in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate. In this current study, based on the steady-state a...

The increased safety of salt-in-ionic liquid electrolytes compared with established carbonate-based systems has promoted intense research in this field, but low conductivities, slow lithium transport, and unfavorable lithium anion correlations still prevent a mass market application. In particular, strong Li-anion correlations lead to dominant vehi...

Polymeric vesicles present great potential in disease treatment as they can be featured as a structurally stable and easily functionalized drug carrier that can simultaneously encapsulate multiple drugs and release them on-demand. Based on the dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulation, the drug-loaded vesicles were designed by the co-assembly ...

2-Aminopurine (2AP) is the most widely used fluorescent nucleobase analogue in DNA and RNA research. Its unique photophysical properties and sensitivity to environmental changes make it a useful tool for understanding nucleic acid dynamics and DNA-protein interactions. We studied the effect of ions present in commonly used buffer solutions on the e...

The modeling of the barrier properties of semicrystalline polymers has gained interest following the possible application of such materials as protective liners for the safe supply of pressurized hydrogen. The mass transport in such systems is intimately related to the complex intercalation between the crystal and amorphous phases, which was approa...

Most antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) induce pore formation and a burst of lipid bilayers and plasma membranes. This causes severe leakage of the internal contents and cell death. The AMP PGLa forms nanopores in giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) comprising dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) and dioleoylphosphatidylglycerol (DOPG). We here elucidated t...

1-Ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate (EmimAc), an excellent solvent for cellulosic biomass, is expected to be utilized in chemical conversion, such as in biomass acetylation with acetic anhydride. The corresponding carboxylic acid, acetic acid (AcH), is quantitatively generated as a byproduct and should be separated from EmimAc for recycling. Howeve...

The HIV-1 assembly process begins with a newly synthesized Gag polyprotein being targeted to the inner leaflet of the plasma membrane of the infected cells to form immature viral particles. Gag-membrane interactions are mediated through the myristoylated (Myr) N-terminal matrix (MA) domain of Gag, which eventually multimerize on the membrane to for...
