Abstract

The oxidation of phenols is an emblematic example where the mechanisms of proton-coupled electron transfers could be investigated in depth thanks to non-destructive electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry. A concerted proton-electron transfer could then be shown to be the prevailing pathway in the oxidation of amino-phenols mimicking the tyrosine-histidine couple in Photosystem II. The theoretical model developed on this occasion leads to the introduction of two main parameters characterizing reorganization of heavy atoms in the reactant and in the solvent on the one hand and proton tunneling on the other. When water used as the solvent is at the same time the proton acceptor, the concerted pathway also predominates. It is characterized by a remarkably large standard rate constant both in electrochemistry and in the oxidation by homogenous reactants. Another aspect of the importance of H-bonding in concerted proton-electron transfer is provided by H-bond relays that efficiently mediate the electron transfer-triggered transport of protons between two sites over large distances thanks to the displacement of two protons concerted with electron transfer. Intermediary protonation of the relay is avoided by fine tuning ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.
