Journal ArticleDOI
CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid synthetase of Escherichia coli: high level expression, purification and use in the enzymatic synthesis of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid and CMP-neuraminic acid derivatives.
Spencer L. Shames,Ethan S. Simon,C. William Christopher,Walther Schmid,George M. Whitesides,Li-Li Yang +5 more
TL;DR: The high level of expression achieved with the E.coli synthetase, together with the high degree of purity readily obtainable from crude cell extracts, make the recombinant bacterial enzyme the preferred catalyst for the enzymatic synthesis of CMP-N-acetylneuraminic acid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Reaction of n-butyllithium and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine nitroxyl
TL;DR: Stable nitroxyl radicals2-a are widely used as radical scavengers and as probes for certain types of molecular motion as mentioned in this paper, and they have been used in a variety of applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analyzing Forensic Evidence Based on Density with Magnetic Levitation
Matthew R. Lockett,Katherine A. Mirica,Charles R. Mace,Robert D. Blackledge,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides +5 more
TL;DR: The ability of MagLev to determine the density of samples of glitter and gunpowder, separate glitter particles of different densities, and determine thedensity of a glitter sample that was removed from a complex sample matrix is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Autocatalytic Cycles in a Copper-Catalyzed Azide-Alkyne Cycloaddition Reaction.
Sergey Semenov,Lee Belding,Brian J. Cafferty,Maral P. S. Mousavi,Anastasiia M. Finogenova,Ricardo S Cruz,Ekaterina V. Skorb,George M. Whitesides,George M. Whitesides +8 more
TL;DR: This system is prototypical of autocatalytic reactions where the formation of a product, which acts as a ligand for a catalytic metal ion, enhances the production and activity of the catalyst.
