A molecular half-wave rectifier.
TL;DR: This paper describes the performance of junctions based on self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) as the functional element of a half-wave rectifier (a simple circuit that converts, or rectifies, an alternating current signal to a direct current (DC) signal).
Journal ArticleDOI
The rate of charge tunneling through self-assembled monolayers is insensitive to many functional group substitutions.
Hyo Jae Yoon,Nathan D. Shapiro,Kyeng Min Park,Martin M. Thuo,Siowling Soh,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides +6 more
TL;DR: Tuning rates through SAMs of molecules with a variety of molecular structures including aromatic, heterocyclic, and aliphatic moieties are described, demonstrating that the rate of charge transport across these self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) is surprisingly insensitive to changes in the structure of the organic molecules of which they are composed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enzyme in der organischen Synthese
TL;DR: Enzyme haben als Katalysatoren in der organischen Synthese eine grose Zukunft as discussed by the authors, i.e., eine attraktiver Zukunde.
Journal ArticleDOI
Secondary Interactions Significantly Removed from the Sulfonamide Binding Pocket of Carbonic Anhydrase II Influence Inhibitor Binding Constants
TL;DR: A series of competitive inhibitors of carbonic anhydrase II that consists of oligo(ethylene glycol) units attached to p-benzenesulfonamides with pendant amino acids, H2NSO2C6H4CONHCH2CH2OCH2 CH2O CH2CH 2CH2NHCOCHRNH3+, have been synthesized and examined using competitive fluorescence assays.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aqueous multiphase systems of polymers and surfactants provide self-assembling step-gradients in density.
Charles R. Mace,Ozge Akbulut,Ashok A. Kumar,Nathan D. Shapiro,Ratmir Derda,Matthew R. Patton,George M. Whitesides +6 more
TL;DR: The generation of over 300 phase-separated systems-ranging from two to six phases-from mixtures of aqueous solutions of polymers and surfactants are demonstrated, suggesting that the stable, sharp step-gradients in density provided by MuPSs can enable new classes of fractionations and separations based on density.
