A composite MnO2@MOF-5 is prepared by in situ incorporation of pre-synthesized MnO2 nanoparticles into metal organic framework, MOF-5, during synthesis. The product characterized powder X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared ultraviolet-visible scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive and elemental mapping, which support the formation proposed material...

Dosage compensation, mediated by the MSL complex, regulates X-chromosomal gene expression in Drosophila. Here we report that the histone H4 lysine 16 (H4K16) specific histone acetyltransferase MOF displays differential binding behavior depending on whether the target gene is located on the X chromosome versus the autosomes. More specifically, on the male X chromosome, where MSL1 and MSL3 are pr...

In order to promote the selective water permeation through porous filler, hydrophilic MOF-801 crystals with superior water adsorption ability were incorporated into chitosan (CS) matrix to fabricate MOF-801/CS mixed matrix membranes (MMMs) for pervaporation dehydration of ethanol. Both the experimental and molecular simulation results confirm the selective adsorption of water molecules in MOF-8...

In this manuscript, we have developed an efficient spraying method to successfully fabricate a series of flower-like coordination polymers (CP) microparticles, including Co/BDC (1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) metal organic frameworks (MOF) and infinite coordination polymers (ICP) microparticles, as well as Ni-Co/BDC MOF and Zn/DOBDC (2,5-dioxido-1,4-benzenedicarboxylate) MOF. The spraying method has...

A new imidazolate-4-amide-5-imidate based MOF, IFP-7, is generated, having flexible methoxy groups, which act as molecular gates for guest molecules. This allows highly selective CO2 sorption over N2 and CH4 gases.

In addition to their conventional uses, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently emerged as an interesting class of functional materials and precursors of inorganic materials for electrochemical energy storage and conversion technologies. This class of MOF-related materials can be broadly categorized into two groups: pristine MOF-based materials and MOF-derived functional materials. Althou...

Intraaortic balloon pumping (IABP) is a useful therapy for refractory heart failure. However, the safe duration of this therapy and possible complications due to long-term IABP support remain unclear. In this study, we reviewed retrospectively patients requiring the long-term use of IABP, defined here as 10 days or more, to estimate the background and prognosis of patients undergoing long-term ...

Aluminum aminoterephthalate MOF particulate materials (NH(2)-MIL-101(Al) and NH(2)-MIL-53(Al)), studied here as components of self-detoxifying surfaces, retained their reactivity following their covalent attachment to protective surfaces utilizing a newly developed strategy in which the MOF particles were deposited on a reactive adhesive composed of polyisobutylene/toluene diisocyanate (PIB/TDI...
