Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…In order to provide theoretical foundations for the analysis of NMR spectral responses of ZαADAR1 to ribosomes we attempted to extend the conventional NMR relaxation theory to include a semi solid-state treatment of nuclear spin dynamics in large complexes. The main challenge to the classical NMR theory arises when one of the binding partners is so large that in the chemical shift time scale of solution NMR (milliseconds) it can be considered as practically static or solid-state-like. …”

Effect of different lead precursors on planar perovskite solar cells by Martin

“…The hydrate water inside the lead acetate precursor has no bad effect on the perovskite formation. 3. Increasing the spin coat speed (to 3000rpm for 30 seconds) can improve the uniformity of perovskite film and further current density of solar cells. 4. …”

Conformational changes involved in signal transduction in avian cryptochromes by Gehrckens, AS

“…To further investigate the interaction surface, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy was used, more specifically double electron-electron resonance, to complement the previously acquired data with cysteine-residue-dependent distance measurements using nitroxide spin labels. The findings on dimerisation are presented in chapter 5.…”

Influence of calcination temperature on nickel oxide nanoparticles synthesized by thermal treatment by Manal, Ahmed Hashem

Defect chemistry in 2D atomic layers for energy photocatalysis by Di, Jun, Hao, Gazi, Jiang, Wei, Liu, Zheng

“…In 2D atomic layers, even infinitesimal amounts of defects can unlock the great potential that exists for tailoring the carrier concentration, electronic states, spin nature, and so on. The specific defects can introduce defect energy levels into the band gap and extend the light absorption. …”

Enlightening of the low-dimensional high-TC superconductivity: bond contraction and electron dual polarization [低维高温超导的启示: 键收缩与电子双重极化] by Sun, Chang Qing

“…Second, atomic undercoordination of the O-Cu chains and the O-Cu planes shortens and stiffens the local O-Cu bond and lengthens and weakens the O:Cup nonbonding interactions associated with further enhancement of the Cup dipoles polarization, this process is the same as the O:H-O bond relaxation and polarization occurred to the skins of water and ice. Last, the electronphonon interaction is realized by the undercoordination-induced bond relaxation and the dual polarization by lone pairs and bond contraction. …”

Strategies to modulate Amorphous Oxide Semiconductor properties for low temperature transparent transistors by Kulkarni, Mohit Rameshchandra

“…Such surface modifications can achieve a change in the carrier concentration by change in work function or shifting- pinning of the Fermi level, or additional field generated due to dipoles created at the surface. …”
