TL;DR: In order to reduce the rate of coke formation during the industrial pyrolysis of hydrocarbons, the interior surface of a reactor is coated with a thin layer of a ceramic material, the layer being deposited by thermal decomposition of a non-oxygen containing silicon-nitrogen precursor in the vapor phase, in an inert or reducing gas atmosphere in order to minimize the formation of oxide ceramics as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: The results indicate that the native Cu(2+) binding site in Abeta is sensitive to small changes at the N-terminus, and that Cu (2+) binds to Abetafibrils in a manner that permits exchange of Cu( 2+) into and out of the fibrillar architecture.

TL;DR: Results lead to hypothesize that Cu(I) is ligated by His13 and His14 in a linear coordination environment in Alphabeta, that Abeta may be playing a neuroprotective role, and that metal-mediated oxidative damage of Abeta occurs over multiple redox cycles.

TL;DR: In this paper, electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopic characterization of Cu2+ bound to soluble and fibrillar Aβ peptide is reported. But the EPR parameters are consis...

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of Ca2+ and Cl− in photosynthetic water oxidation was investigated and it was shown that they are involved in a hydrogen-bonded network between the Mn4 cluster and the tyrosine residue.
