A New Method To Determine the Generation of Hydroxyl Radicals in Illuminated TiO2 Suspensions
Peter F. Schwarz and,Nicholas J. Turro,Stefan H. Bossmann,†,‖ and,André M. Braun,Aboel-Magd A. Abdel Wahab,Heinz Dürr +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the generation of hydroxyl radicals produced by irradiation of aqueous TiO2 suspensions was investigated by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and product analysis employing a stable free nitroxide radical (3-carboxyproxyl) as a spin trap of •OH.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of degradable model networks via ATRP and click chemistry.
Jeremiah A. Johnson,Danielle R. Lewis,David Díaz Díaz,M. G. Finn,Jeffrey T. Koberstein,Nicholas J. Turro +5 more
TL;DR: A simple scheme involving atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) from a bifunctional initiator, conversion of the bromine end groups of the resulting telechelic polymer to azides, and cross-linking of this azido-telechelic macromonomer with multi-acetylene functionalized small molecules via copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition was employed to prepare the first tert-butyl acrylate model networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Four-color DNA sequencing with 3′-O-modified nucleotide reversible terminators and chemically cleavable fluorescent dideoxynucleotides
Jia Guo,Ning Xu,Zengmin Li,Shenglong Zhang,Jian Wu,Dae H. Kim,Mong S. Marma,Qinglin Meng,Huanyan Cao,Xiaoxu Li,Shundi Shi,Lin Yu,Sergey Kalachikov,James J. Russo,Nicholas J. Turro,Jingyue Ju +15 more
TL;DR: A DNA sequencing method that is a hybrid between the Sanger dideoxynucleotide terminating reaction and SBS, using four nucleotides modified as reversible terminators by capping the 3′-OH with a small reversible moiety so that they are still recognized by DNA polymerase as substrates to perform SBS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic field and magnetic isotope effects in organic photochemical reactions. A novel probe of reaction mechanisms and a method for enrichment of magnetic isotopes
TL;DR: In this article, the theory of intersystem crossing in radical pairs is presented, which provides a simple unified theoretical basis for understanding chemically induced nuclear polarization (CIDNP), the magnetic spin isotope effect, and magnetic field effects on chemical reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
New melanic pigments in the human brain that accumulate in aging and block environmental toxic metals
Luigi Zecca,Chiara Bellei,Patrizia Costi,Alberto Albertini,Enrico Monzani,Luigi Casella,Mario Gallorini,Luigi Bergamaschi,Alberto Moscatelli,Nicholas J. Turro,Melvin Eisner,Pier Raimondo Crippa,Shosuke Ito,Kazumasa Wakamatsu,William D. Bush,Weslyn C. Ward,John D. Simon,Fabio A. Zucca +17 more
TL;DR: The synthesis of neuromelanins in the various regions of the human brain is an important protective process because the melanic component is generated through the removal of reactive/toxic quinones that would otherwise cause neurotoxicity.
