Journal ArticleDOI

Investigations into the Robustness of Secondary and Tertiary Architecture of Hydrogen-Bonded Crystalline Tapes

TL;DR: Zerkowski et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the triad of hydrogen bonds that forms tapes is apparently robust to this sort of variation, even though some of the substituents introduce noncovalent intertape interactions, such as halogen-nitrogen contacts, ionic forces, and other hydrogen bonds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synthesis of dithiols as reducing agents for disulfides in neutral aqueous solution and comparison of reduction potentials

TL;DR: Several dithiols have been prepared that are useful for the reduction of disulfides in aqueous solution and the reduction potential has been determined from the measurement of the equilibrium constant of thiol/disulfide interchange with oxidized dithiothreitol using a 1 H NMR assay.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selectivity in organic group transfer in reactions of mixed lithium diorganocuprates

TL;DR: In this paper, a survey of the reactions of mixed cuprates made from stable organocopper compounds is presented, showing that the reactivity of the second organic group in the mixed complex is significantly lower than that of the first organic group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Propulsion of flexible polymer structures in a rotating magnetic field

TL;DR: A new concept for the propulsions of abiological structures at low Reynolds numbers is demonstrated, based on the design of flexible, planar polymer structures with a permanent magnetic moment that breaks their planar symmetry and generates propulsion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Determination of the binding of ligands containing the N-2,4-dinitrophenyl group to bivalent monoclonal rat anti-DNP antibody using affinity capillary electrophoresis.

TL;DR: A form of analysis of the binding data is derived that is more useful than Scatchard analysis for certain multivalent systems where cooperativity of binding is in question, but where it is also possible to make plausible assumptions about electrophoretic mobilities of protein and protein-ligand complexes.
