Role of conformational dynamics in sequence-specific autoantibody•ssDNA recognition
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-04-05)
11F8 is a sequence-specific monoclonal anti-ssDNA autoantibody isolated from a lupus prone mouse that forms pathogenic complexes with ssDNA, resulting in kidney damage. Prior studies show that specificity is mediated by a ...
Ring-opening polymerization of epoxy end-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) as a route to highly crosslinked materials with exceptional swelling behavior (II)
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2007-08)
Highly swellable poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) gels were prepared by anionic ring-opening polymerization of diepoxy end-capped PEO (3400 g mol −1 ) and PEO (8000 g mol −1 ) using dianionic glycerol and glycolic acid initiators ...
Focus on function: Single molecule RNA enzymology
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-12-05)
The ability of RNA to catalyze chemical reactions was first demonstrated 25 years ago with the discovery that group I introns and RNase P function as RNA enzymes (ribozymes). Several additional ribozymes were subsequently ...
Synthesis and Erosion Properties of PEG-Containing Polyanhydrides
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-05-10)
To tailor the erosion rate of polyanhydrides while retaining their surface erosion characteristics, new three-component polyanhydrides of sebacic acid, 1,3-bis( p -carboxyphenoxy)propane and poly(ethylene glycol) were ...
Role of interfacial interactions on the anomalous swelling of polymer thin films in supercritical carbon dioxide
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-06-01)
It has recently been shown that thin polymer films in the nanometer thickness range exhibit anomalous swelling maxima in supercritical CO 2 (Sc-Co 2 ) in the vicinity of the critical point of CO 2 . The adsorption isotherm ...

Synthesis of the Tetraketide Lactones from the Pikromycin Biosynthetic Pathway
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2007-07)
Synthesis of tetraketide lactones 2 and 3 , which are likely to be produced by a model pikromycin polyketide synthase (PKS), has been investigated. The tetraketide lactones with six-membered rings, 2a and 2b , were ...
Understanding surfaces and buried interfaces of polymer materials at the molecular level using sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2007-05)
This paper reviews recent progress in the studies on polymer surfaces/interfaces using sum frequency generation (SFG) vibrational spectroscopy. SFG theory, technique, and some experimental details have been presented. The ...
