Enzymatic Polymerization to Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are formed by repeated glycosylations between a sugar donor and a sugar acceptor. This chapter reviews the in vitro synthesis of... -
Synthesis of Phenol Polymers Using Peroxidases
This chapter deals with the peroxidase-catalyzed polymerization of phenol and its derivatives. Such a polymerization needs an oxidation reagent,... -
Towards a Rational Design of Molecular Switches and Sensors from their Basic Building Blocks
A fundamental understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics of mechanically interlocked molecules, such as [2]rotaxanes, will contribute to... -
Chiral Spaces in Supramolecular Assemblies
The present review is aimed at illustrating to the reader the state of the art on the construction of artificial chiral supramolecular assemblies... -
Impedimetric Detection of DNA Hybridization: Towards Near-Patient DNA Diagnostics
Immobilization strategies for the attachment of nucleotide probes to both microarrays and microfabricated interdigitated electrodes differ to... -
Immobilization of DNA on Microarrays
Microarrays are new analytical devices that allow the parallel and simultaneous detection of thousands of target compounds. Microarrays, also... -
Tin-Free Radical Reactions Mediated by Organoboron Compounds
The development of tin-free methods to run radical reactions is crucial for their applications in industrial processes as well as in drug... -
The Degenerative Radical Transfer of Xanthates and Related Derivatives: An Unusually Powerful Tool for the Creation of Carbon–Carbon Bonds
This review summarises recent work on the dithiocarbonyl group transfer reaction. Xanthates, in particular, have proved to be extremely useful for... -
Altitudinal Surface-Mounted Molecular Rotors
After a general description of some potential applications of artificial altitudinal surface-mounted molecular rotors, the synthesis, surface... -
Immobilization of Nucleic Acids Using Biotin-Strept(avidin) Systems
There are several advantages for using biotin-streptavidin/avidin (strept(avi-din)) systems to immobilize nucleic acids and other molecules. These... -
Immobilization of Oligonucleotides for Biochemical Sensing by Self-Assembled Monolayers: Thiol-Organic Bonding on Gold and Silanization on Silica Surfaces
The covalent immobilization of biomolecules on surfaces is of great interest for many medical and bioanalytical applications. Currently, there is... -
Thio-, Seleno-, Telluro-Amides
Recent developments regarding synthetic methods of producing chalogen isologues of amides are reviewed. Among exhaustive studies on the syntheses,... -
The Construction and Operation of Anion Sensors: Current Status and Future Perspectives
This chapter is intended to provide an insight into the construction and operation of anion sensing devices, rather than the chemistry of anion... -
Regioselective Polymerization of 1-Alkynes and Stereoselective Cyclopolymerization of α,ω-Heptadiynes
Metathesis-based polymerizations of 1-alkynes and cyclopolymerizations of 1,6-heptadiynes using late transition metal catalysts are reviewed. Results... -
Collagen Suprastructures
Collagens are a family of proteins with considerable molecular diversity. The genetic diversity is increased by assembly of multiple isoforms,... -
Collagen Cross-Links
Collagen is the main source of extracellular support for multicellular animals. The mechanical strength of collagen fibrils depends on a highly... -
Evidences for Polaron Formation in Cuprates
It is widely believed that the essential physics of high temperature superconducting copper oxides are governed by the properties of their... -
Phosphinidenes
Of the low-valent organophosphorus compounds phosphinidenes occupy a special place. In ‘free’ phosphinidenes the phosphorus atom carries a single... -
Asymmetric Processes Catalyzed by Chiral (Salen)Metal Complexes
A wide variety of highly selective asymmetric reactions catalyzed by chiral (salen)metal complexes have been disclosed over the past decade. Salen... -
On the Prebiotic Synthesis of Nucleobases, Nucleotides, Oligonucleotides, Pre-RNA and Pre-DNA Molecules
All the strategies for the prebiotic syntheses of RNA and DNA assume the adequate availability of the presumptive precursors such as purine and...
