Journal ArticleDOI
Abrasive treatment of microtiter plates improves the reproducibility of bacterial biofilm assays
TL;DR: The consistency of bacterial biofilm assays carried out in microtiter plates subjected to abrasive treatment, by sandblasting or drill press grinding, is significantly improved in a Pseudomonas fluorescens Pf0-1 model.
Journal ArticleDOI
1,8-Naphthalimide derivatives as probes for protein surface hydrophobicity
TL;DR: In this article, four 4-aryl-N-methoxyethyl-1,8-naphthalimide derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their fluorescent properties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dhruval Kumar Joshi,Frank Betancourt,Alyssa McAdorey,Ravi Shekar Yalagala,Andy Poupon,Hongbin Tony Yan +5 more
TL;DR: Using 4,4-difluoro-1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-sindacen-8-yl)ethylammonium iodide (BODIPY quaternary ammonium 17) was successfully synthesized as discussed by the authors .
Journal ArticleDOI
Anion exchange chromatography of oligonucleotides under denaturing conditions
TL;DR: Denaturing anion exchange HPLC simplifies the chromatographic profiles of self-complementary sequences such as d(CG)6, d( CG)6 with locked nucleic acid modifications, d (AT)15, and polymerase chain reaction mixtures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave-Assisted Synthesis and Fluorescent Properties of 4-Phenyl-1,8-naphthalimide
TL;DR: In this paper, 4-Phenyl-1,8-naphthalimide was synthesized by imidation of commercially available 4-bromo-1.8-Naphthalic anhydride, followed by Suzuki coupling with phenyl boronic acid, both under microwave heating.
