چکیده
2D materials have opened a new field in science with outstanding scientific and technological impact. A largely explored route for the preparation of is exfoliation layered crystals weak forces between their layers. However, its application to covalent remains elusive. Herein, further step taken by introducing germanium, narrow-bandgap semiconductor presenting 3D diamond-like structure strong bonds. Pure α-germanium exfoliated following simple one-step procedure assisted wet ball-milling, allowing gram-scale fabrication high-quality layers large lateral dimensions nanometer thicknesses. The generated flakes are thoroughly characterized different techniques, giving evidence that material exhibits bandgaps depend on both crystallographic direction number Besides potential applications, this work also interest search properties.

Covalent modification and exfoliation of graphene oxide using ferrocene.
Large scale preparation of single-layer graphene and graphene oxide is of great importance due to their potential applications. We report a simple room temperature method for the exfoliation of graphene oxide using covalent modification of graphene oxide with ferrocene to obtain single-layer graphene oxide sheets. The samples were characterized by FESEM, HRTEM, AFM, EDAX, FT-IR, Raman and Mössb...
متن کاملThe covalent structure of Acanthamoeba actobindin.
Actobindin is a protein from Acanthamoeba castellanii with bivalent affinity for monomeric actin. Because it can bind two molecules of actin, actobindin is a substantially more potent inhibitor of the early phase of actin polymerization than of F-actin elongation. The complete amino acid sequence of 88 residues has been deduced from the determined sequences of overlapping peptides obtained by c...
متن کاملCovalent structure of human haptoglobin: a serine protease homolog.
The complete amino acid sequences and the disulfide arrangements of the two chains of human haptoglobin 1-1 were established. The alpha 1 and beta chains of haptoglobin contain 83 and 245 residues, respectively. Comparison of the primary structure of haptoglobin with that of the chymotrypsinogen family of serine proteases revealed a significant degree of chemical similarity. The probability was...
متن کاملThe Covalent Structure of Apolipoprotein A - I from Canine High
The complete amino acid sequence of apolipoprotein A-I (apo-A-I) from canine serum high density lipoproteins (HDL) has been determined by automated Edman degradation of the intact protein and proteolytic fragments derived therefrom. The major strategy involved analysis of overlapping sets of peptides generated by cleavage at lysyl residues with Myxobacter protease and by tryptic hydrolysis at a...
متن کاملThe covalent and three-dimensional structure of concanavalin A.
The tentative amino-acid sequence and three-dimensional structure of the lectin concanavalin A have been determined. The amino-acid sequence, which was determined chemically, contains 238 residues. The sequences of three short stretches were assigned on the basis of x-ray crystallographic data. Interpretation of an electron density map at 2-A resolution indicates that the predominant structural...
