Synthesis of a metal–organic framework confined in periodic mesoporous silica with enhanced hydrostability as a novel fiber coating for solid‐phase microextraction
Published: Mar 3, 2015
Author(s): Mir Mahdi Abolghasemi, Vahid Yousefi, Marzieh Piryaei
Journal: Journal of Separation Science
A metal–organic framework/periodic mesoporous silica (MOF‐5@SBA‐15) hybrid material has been prepared by using SBA‐15 as a matrix. The prepared MOF‐5@SBA‐15 hybrid material was then deposited on a stainless‐steel wire to obtain the fiber for the solid‐phase microextraction of phenolic compounds. Modifications in the metal–organic framework structure have proven to improve the extraction performance of MOF/SBA‐15 hybrid materials, compared...

Scop3D: Three‐dimensional visualization of sequence conservation
Published: Mar 3, 2015
Author(s): Tessa Vermeire, Stijn Vermaere, Bert Schepens, Xavier Saelens, Steven Gucht, Lennart Martens, Elien Vandermarliere
Journal: PROTEOMICS
The integration of a protein's structure with its known sequence variation provides insight on how that protein evolves, for instance in terms of (changing) function or immunogenicity. Yet, collating the corresponding sequence variants into a multiple sequence alignment, calculating each position's conservation, and mapping this information back onto a relevant structure is not straightforward. We therefore built the Sequence Conservation...

Published: Mar 3, 2015
Author(s): M. E. Medhat, W. Shan, M. Kurudirek
Journal: X-Ray Spectrometry
The objective of the proposed work was to measure concentration of six essential elements, Ca, Cu, Fe, Mn, Sr, and Zn directly in whole blood.

A good understanding of the mechanism of interaction between quantum dots (QDs) and heavy metal ions is essential for the design of more effective sensor systems. In this work, CE was introduced to explore how l‐cysteine‐capped‐CdTe QDs (l‐cys‐CdTe QDs) interacts with Hg2+. The change in electrophoretic mobility can synchronously reflect the change in the composition and property of QDs. The effects of the free and capping ligands on the system are...
