Chemists have a firm understanding of the concept of a functional group: a small molecular moiety that confers properties (reactivity, solubility, and chemical recognition) onto a larger scaffold.

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Nucleic acids, for example DNA, chemically encode information with a base-4 quaternary code (A,T,C,G). Nucleic Acid Memory (NAM) is a potential alternative to silicon based memory because its ...

WE report here a new method for modifying polyethylene surfaces by incorporating various functional groups onto the surface. The critical surface tension value (γ c) of polyethylene treated with ...

Based on the fluorescence turn-off mechanism, the Cel-Au NCs were used as a biosensor for specificity determination of ascorbic acid (AA) at the emission of ... Thereby, as dual-functional ...
