Synthesis of polymeric materials derived from abundant natural feedstocks using non-toxic heavy metals by Navickaite, G

“…</p> <br> <p>The amide initiator was shown to readily insert a single cyclic ester unit into the Bi-N bond. The resulting insertion products were proposed to act as propagating species in ROP reactions, representing rare examples of spectroscopically and/or structurally characterised metal complexes with ligands derived from ring-opened cyclic esters.…”

Site-specific protein modifications by an engineered asparaginyl endopeptidase from Viola canadensis by Chen, Yu, Zhang, Dingpeng, Zhang, Xiaohong, Wang, Zhen, Liu, Chuan-Fa, Tam, James P.

“…Although AEPs are common, PALs are rare. We previously proposed ligase activity determinants (LADs) of these enzymes that could determine whether they catalyze formation or breakage of peptide bonds. …”

Optical remote spectral acquisition of elemental stoichiometry by Reeves, JT, Hasnain, SS, Nessel, MP, Talbot, CJ, Thomson, ER

“…Optical remote sensing (RS) enables the study of the elemental composition of Earth’s surface over broad spatial extents by detecting reflected electromagnetic radiation. Covalent bonds of macromolecular structures often reflect electromagnetic radiation at specific wavelengths, and in some cases relate to bonds of specific elemental identity. …”

Molecular basis of converting proteases to ligases by Chang, Hong Yi

“…AEPs hydrolyse the Asx (Asn/Asp)-Xaa bond while PALs ligate them. PALs are the processing enzymes that mediate the backbone cyclization of plant cyclic peptides, such as cyclotides. …”

Evaluation of high-strength concrete interior beam-column joints under simulated seismic loading by Leong, Chee Lai

“…Based on the test results, some relaxation of the bond requirements in beam-column joints is possible as improvement of bond strength was noticed where the bond strength increases with the increase in concrete compressive strength. …”

Synthesis of borate-based epoxy molding compound for radiation hardened electronics packaging by Muhammad Ridhwan Md Yusoff

“…FTIR analysis concluded that the improvement in decomposition temperature and glass transition temperature of the epoxy-boron oxide samples is not contributed by a new bond or phase. Other characterization technique such as Mass Spectroscopy (MS) is proposed for future works to confirm the possibility on the formation of new bond or phase in the samples. …”

Crystallographic Correlations with Anisotropic Oxide Ion Conduction in Aluminum-Doped Neodymium Silicate Apatite Electrolytes by An, Tao, Baikie, Tom, Wei, Fengxia, Pramana, Stevin S., Schreyer, Martin K., Piltz, Ross O., Shin, J. Felix, Wei, Jun, Slater, Peter R., White, Timothy John

“…These studies found the undoped crystal conformed to P63/m, but with the O(3) oxygen positions, that participate in conduction, split nonstatistically across two sites with a shortened Si–O(3) bond. Consequently, the bond valence sum (BVS) of the Si (4.20) is larger than the formal valence. …”

Modifying the Molecular Structure of Carbon Nanotubes through Gas-Phase Reactants by Giannetto, Michael J., Johnson, Eric P., Watson, Adam, Dimitrov, Edgar, Kurth, Andrew, Shi, Wenbo, Fornasiero, Francesco, Meshot, Eric R., Plata, Desiree L.

“…Some of this limitation stems from a lack of understanding of the chemical bond-building mechanisms at play in CNT growth. Here, we provide experimental evidence that supports an alkyne polymerization pathway in which short-chained alkynes directly incorporate into the CNT lattice during growth, partially retaining their side groups and influencing CNT morphology. …”

Lybatides from Lycium barbarum contain an unusual cystine-stapled helical peptide scaffold by Tan, Wei Liang, Wong, Ka Ho, Lei, Jian, Sakai, Naoki, Tan, Hong Wei, Hilgenfeld, Rolf, Tam, James P.

“…Cysteine-rich peptides (CRPs) of 2–6 kDa are generally thermally and proteolytically stable because of their multiple cross-bracing disulfide bonds. Here, we report the discovery and characterization of two novel cystine-stapled CRPs, designated lybatide 1 and 2 (lyba1 and lyba2), from the cortex of Lycium barbarum root. …”
