Challenges in preparing, preserving and detecting para-water in bulk: overcoming proton exchange and other hurdles

Geoffrey Bodenhausen, Sami Jannin, Aurélien Bornet, Jonas Milani, Diego Carnevale, Daniele Mammoli, Nicola Salvi, Roberto Buratto, Estel Canet Martinez

Para-water is an analogue of para-hydrogen, where the two proton spins are in a quantum state that is antisymmetric under permutation, also known as singlet state. The populations of the nuclear spin states in para-water are believed to have long lifetimes ...

Enhanced Plasmid DNA Utilization in Transiently Transfected CHO-DG44 Cells in the Presence of Polar Solvents

Florian Maria Wurm, David Hacker, Lucia Baldi Unser, Yashas Rajendra, Divor Kiseljak, Sowmya Balasubramanian

Although the protein yields from transient gene expression (TGE) with Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells have recently improved, the amount of plasmid DNA (pDNA) needed for transfection remains relatively high. We describe a strategy to reduce the pDNA amou ...

Electrochemical reduction of CO2 in organic solvents catalyzed by MoO2

Xile Hu, Heron Vrubel, Yeonji Oh

MoO2 microparticles act as an active catalyst for the electrochemical reduction of CO2 in organic solvents such as acetonitrile and dimethylformamide. The catalytic activity and product selectivity depend on temperature and water content of the solvent. ...

Selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol over Pd-nanoparticles stabilized in hypercrosslinked polystyrene: Solvent effect

Lioubov Kiwi

Selective hydrogenation of 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol (MBY) to 2-methyl-3-butene-2-ol (MBE) over Pd supported on hypercrosslinked polystyrene was studied in polar (ethanol, isopropanol, water) and non-polar (cyclohexane, toluene, octane, hexane, heptane and m-x ...

Fast Proton Exchange in Histidine: Measurement of Rate Constants through Indirect Detection by NMR Spectroscopy

Geoffrey Bodenhausen

Owing to its imidazole side chain, histidine participates in various processes such as enzyme catalysis, pH regulation, metal binding, and phosphorylation. The determination of exchange rates of labile protons for such a system is important for understandi ...

Investigation of the effects of methanol presence on characteristics of sulfonated aromatic electrolyte membranes: Molecular dynamics simulations

Mohammad Mahdi Hasani-Sadrabadi

Effects of methanol solvent on characteristics of water-methanol solvated sulfonated poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) (SPPO) membranes were investigated at different methanol concentrations and temperatures using molecular dynamics simulations. Simul ...

The Fate of a Zwitterion in Water from ab Initio Molecular Dynamics: Monoethanolamine (MEA)-CO2

Wanda Andreoni, Fabio Pietrucci

Understanding the fundamental reactions accompanying the capture of carbon dioxide in amine solutions is critical for the design of high-performance solvents and requires an accurate modeling of the solute-solvent interaction. As a first step toward this g ...
