A New Method To Determine the Generation of Hydroxyl Radicals in Illuminated TiO2 Suspensions

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.

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

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

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.
