- Abstract:
- ... The dual-level direct dynamics method is employed to investigate the hydrogen abstraction reaction of CF₃CH₂CH₂CH₂OH (CF₃CD₂CD₂CD₂OD) with OH (OD) radicals. Four possible reaction channels caused by different positions of hydrogen atom attack are found. All the stationary points are studied with the ab initio and density functional theories. Single points computation is further refined by CCSD(T) ...

- Abstract:
- ... A facile synthetic strategy for a hybrid Cu₂O/Pd–Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite via controlled thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)₅ and reduction of Pd(OAc)₂ and Cu(acac)₂ was developed. The Pd precursor and amount of reducing agent used during the synthetic process controlled the morphology of the Cu₂O/Pd–Fe₃O₄ nanocomposites. The prepared Cu₂O/Pd–Fe₃O₄ nanocomposites showed excellent catalytic performance for ...

- Abstract:
- ... Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), originally described by Förster in the 1940s, results from long-range dipole–dipole interactions between a donor and an acceptor molecule. In this work, human serum albumin (HSA) was selected as donor and the alkyl gallates were selected as acceptors. In the presence of HSA, the alkyl gallates yielded different levels of fluorescence enhancement. The corre ...

Nano-sized ferritin and chitosan provide a platform for fabricating shell–core system to encapsulate lutein. Herein, soybean seed ferritin (Glycine max) and chitosan stabilized lutein composites (FCLs) were fabricated by a unique reversible disassembly-rea ...
