Development of high-affinity peptide-drug conjugates for investigating the TRIM24 PHD and bromodomain by Platt, MA

“…</p> <br> <p>Given the close proximity of the PHD and BRD, and lack of TRIM24 PHD ligands, it was decided that a TRIM24 BRD ligand would be linked to a H3-mimicking peptide containing a KMe₃ isostere, to generate bivalent peptide-drug conjugates (PDCs) (Figure 0.1a). …”

Production and characterization of collagen and gelatin from edible jellyfish (Acromitus hardenbergi Stiasny, 1934) for fabrication of biofunctional scaffold by Khong, Nicholas Mun Hoe

“…The combinations of different jellyfish collagen and gelatin concentrations were observed to have significant effects on the cross-section morphology and the molecular integrity of the cross-linked scaffolds. Proportional combination of jellyfish collagen into the ternary scaffolds was found to significantly (p < 0.05) increase mean pore size and porosity. …”

A facile approach to nanoarchitectured three-dimensional graphene-based Li–Mn–O composite as high-power cathodes for Li-ion batteries by Zhang, Wenyu, Zeng, Yi, Xu, Chen, Xiao, Ni, Gao, Yiben, Li, Lain-Jong, Chen, Xiaodong, Hng, Huey Hoon, Yan, Qingyu

“…The wider operation voltage window can lead to increased theoretical capacity, e.g., 148 mAh·g−1 between 3 and 4.5 V and 296 mAh·g−1 between 2 and 4.5 V; (3) more importantly, it is found that the attachment of LMO onto graphene can help to reduce the dissolution of Mn2+ into the electrolyte, as indicated by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) measurements, and which is mainly attributed to the large specific surface area of the graphene sheets.…”
