Investigating rhodium-catalysed hydroacylation and carbon-carbon bond activation by Coxon, T

“…The chapter begins with a theoretical comparison to carbon-hydrogen activation and a discussion of the unique challenges that are faced. An overview of the major strategies employed to enact these processes is subsequently presented for both strained and unstrained substrates.…”

Inadequate social housing and health: the case of Oliver Bond House, in inner-city Dublin by Manzo, LKC, Grove, H

The third imperative: framework for the relational values of nature by Tan, Rebecca Si En

“…Current work on the values of nature tends to focus on intrinsic and instrumental values of nature. In the face of escalating climate issues, however, it is becoming increasingly important to accurately identify and target people’s motivations in supporting sustainable policy. …”

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. …”

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.…”

Green gatekeepers by Enriques, L, Romano, A, Tuch, A

“…Products are routinely labeled “carbon neutral,” “recycled,” “biode¬gradable,” “ocean-friendly,” and “sustainable.” Bonds are marketed as “green” and mutual funds as “ESG,” while firms may pledge to become “net zero.” …”

Like the sea: living communityship as a form of participatory leadership within the creativity for learning in HE (#creativeHE) community by Nerantzi, Chrissi, Gillaspy, Emma, Sinfield, Sandra, Karatsiori, Marianthi, Burns, Tom, Hunter, Anna, Seat, Hannah, Tasler, Nathalie

“…Their humane and affective bonds as a collective provide a safe and calm working space in which everybody can flourish.…”

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.

“…X-ray structure analysis revealed the presence of a single cystine-stabilized (α + π)-helix in lyba2, a rare feature of CRPs. Together, our results suggest that lybatides, one of the smallest four-disulfide-constrained plant CRPs, is a new family of CRPs. …”

Role of ex-situ HfO2 passivation to improve device performance and suppress X-ray-induced degradation characteristics of in-situ Si3N4/AlN/GaN MIS-HEMTs by Dalapati, Pradip, Li, Hanchao, Arulkumaran, Subramaniam, Ng, Geok Ing

“…X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results suggest that several Si-N bonds in stoichiometric Si3N4 and Hf-O bonds in HfO2 passivation film can be broken under X-ray irradiation, where numerous charges might be trapped easily and deteriorate the interface quality. …”

A signal through the noise: accurate determination of hydrogen atom positions in crystal structures and optimisation of Laue neutron diffraction methods by Sackman, GA

“…This has allowed a variety of chemically and crystallographically interesting studies to be performed, specifically:</p> <p>Determining the novel geometry around transition-metal hydride centers, where the signal due to the hydrides can be more confidently distinguished than in an X-ray diffraction experiment; using Laue neutron derived difference Fourier maps to demonstrate that proton disorder can be mistakenly assigned in X-ray derived crystallographic models; performing variable temperature Laue neutron diffraction to identify proton migratory behaviour across short-strong hydrogen bonds; reassigning the space group of a previously reported cobalt(III) coordination complex, in which the lack of inversion symmetry becomes apparent upon accurate determination of the hydrogen atom positions; using Laue neutron diffraction data to more confidently classify systems as co-crystals or salts.…”

Protein interactions design. by Tay, Connie Gui Ching.

“…The definition of these residues was another challenge faced in protein interface design. In our design protocol, we used a general cutoff distance of 4.75Å obtained by taking into consideration hydrogen bond residues and solvent accessibility. …”
