We investigated the coordination properties of original macrocyclic Ln(3+) complexes comprising an imidazothiadiazole heterocycle. The thermodynamic stability of the Gd3+ complex was determined by a combination of potentiometric and photophysical measurements. The kinetic inertness was assessed in highly acidic media. The solution structure of the ...

As a matrix extension of the Fukui function, a reactivitydescriptorgrounded within Conceptual Density Functional Theory, the Fukui matrixextends Frontier Molecular Orbital Theory to correlated regimes withits eigendecomposition in Fukui occupations and Fukui naturals. Despitesuccessful applications, the questions remain as to whether replacinga qua...
Polymer semiconductors are promising materials for stretchable, wearable, and implantable devices due to their intrinsic flexibility, facile functionalization, and solution processability at low temperatures. However, the crystalline domain of the conjugated structure for high charge carrier mobility in semiconducting polymers exhibits lower stretc...

We report the structural and electronic properties of narrow chevron-like graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), which depending on their length are either mirror or inversion symmetric. Additionally, GNRs of different length can form molecular heterojunctions based on an unusual binding motif. This journal is © The Royal Society of Chemistry.
Electropulsation has become a powerful technological platform for electromanipulation of cells and tissues for various medical and biotechnological applications, but the molecular changes that underlay the very first initiation step of this process have not been experimentally observed. Here, we endowed a wide-field Coherent anti-Stokes Raman Scatt...
Plants have long been considered a cost-effective platform for recombinant production. A recently recognized additional advantage includes the low risk of contamination of human pathogens, such as viruses and bacterial endotoxins. Indeed, a great advance has been made in developing plants as a “factory” to produce recombinant proteins to use for bi...

A new molecular dynamics-like modelling approach aimed at simulating the mechanical behaviour of true polyhedra dense assemblies is presented. Thanks to an improved version of the Gilbert-Johnson-Keerthi contact detection algorithm called GJK - TD, this approach involves no edge or corner rounding and accounts for multipoint face - face or edge - f...
Leucine Rich Repeat Transmembrane proteins (LRRTMs) are neuronal cell adhesion molecules involved in synapse development and plasticity. LRRTM2 is the most synaptogenic isoform of the family, and its expression is strongly restricted to excitatory synapses in mature neurons. However, the mechanisms by which LRRTM2 is trafficked and stabilized at sy...
