The primary cilium is a solitary, immotile cilium that is present in almost every mammalian cell type. Primary cilia are thought to function as chemosensors, mechanosensors, or both, depending on cell type, and have been linked to several developmental signaling pathways. Primary cilium malfunction has been implicated in several human diseases, the symptoms of which include vision and hearing l...

The evolution of powered flight in insects had major consequences for global biodiversity and involved the acquisition of adaptive processes allowing individuals to disperse to new ecological niches. Flies use both vision and olfactory input from their antennae to guide their flight; chemosensors on fly wings have been described, but their function remains mysterious. We studied Drosophila flig...

Three imines comprised of 5-nitrothiophen-2-yl as electron-accepting and phenols electrondonating groups were synthesized used chromogenic chemosensors to detect alkylamines. The compounds are colorless in water, but their deprotonation by the alkylamines generates corresponding colored phenolates, which can be those analytes. addition cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) causes bathochromic s...

This paper presents the results of systematic studies atomic structure layered bulk, bilayer, and monolayer diamene (a two-dimensional diamond recently synthesized by various methods) functionalized with fluorine hydroxyl groups chemical formulas C2F C2OH. The our calculations show that both types under discussion have a wide optical gap corresponding to absorption light in UV spectral range. f...

It is shown that the surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) technique can be applied to detect organic molecules during in situ experiments. To this purpose, we used trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene (BPE) as a target molecule. Adsorbed on the SERS chemosensor surface and excited under laser, the vibration modes of the molecules can be identified. SERS chemosensors are based on quartz substrat...

Supramolecular analytical chemistry has emerged as a new discipline at the interface of supramolecular and analytical chemistry. It focuses on analytical applications of molecular recognition and self-assembly. One of the important outcomes of the supramolecular analytical chemistry is the understanding of molecular aspects of sensor design, synthesis and binding studies of sensors while using ...

analytical chemistry has experienced, as well as other areas of science, a big change due to the needs and opportunities provided by analytical nanoscience and nanotechnology. now, nanotechnology is increasingly proving to be a powerful ally of analytical chemistry to achieve its objectives, and to simplify analytical processes. moreover, the information needs arising from the growing nanotechn...
