Abstract With industry progress, environmental problems have begun to threaten human health. Among them, water pollution is closely related life and has attracted researchers’ attention. Hence, coping strategies for these pollutants become a priority nowadays. Here, we carried out the molecular dynamics (MD) well-tempered metadynamics simulations evaluate interaction of Rhodamine B (Rh B) with ...

A common feature of multi-functional metal-organic frameworks is a metal dimer in the form of a paddlewheel, as found in the structure of Cu3(btc)2 (HKUST-1). The HKUST-1 framework demonstrates exceptional gas storage, sensing and separation, catalytic activity and, in recent studies, unprecedented ionic and electrical conductivity. These results are a promising step towards the real-world appl...

zinc (ⅱ) tricarboxylate (zn-btc) with metal-organic framework (mof) has been synthesized for the first time under solvothermal conditions and has been tested as an adsorbent for methane and carbon dioxide at standard temperature and pressure. the adsorbent was characterized by means of x-ray diffraction(xrd), brunauer-emmet-teller (bet), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) and scanning electron ...

Abstract Reactive extrusion printing (REP) is demonstrated as an approach to simultaneously crystallize and deposit films of the metal–organic framework (MOF) Cu 3 btc 2 (btc=1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylate), also known HKUST‐1. The technique co‐delivers inks copper(II) acetate H starting materials directly on‐surface on‐location for rapid nucleation into at room temperature. were analyzed using PX...

Formic acid production from CO2 allows the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions while synthesizing a product with wide range applications. hydrogenation is challenging due to cost transition metal catalysts and toxicity elements. In this work, thermodynamic confinement effects metal–organic framework UiO-66 on formic were studied by force field-based molecular simulations. The frameworks Cu-BT...

Epidermal growth factor (EGF) family ligands have been implicated in cardiovascular diseases because of their enhanced expression in vascular lesions and their promoting effects on growth and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs). Betacellulin (BTC), a novel EGF family ligand, has been shown to be expressed in atherosclerotic lesions and to be a potent growth factor of VSMCs. Howeve...

BACKGROUND Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor (HB-EGF), betacellulin (BTC) and epiregulin (EPR) are members of the EGF system and involved in the cell growth of various epithelial malignancies. There have been no reports on the HB-EGF, BTC and EPR expression in mesenchymal malignancies of fibrohistiocytic origin including malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH). MATERIALS AND METHODS We inv...

BACKGROUND The green tea catechin epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) was shown to effectively inhibit tumor growth in various types of cancer including biliary tract cancer (BTC). For most BTC patients only palliative therapy is possible, leading to a median survival of about one year. Chemoresistance is a major problem that contributes to the high mortality rates of BTC. The aim of this study was...
