Atomic resolution structure determinations of proteins by X-ray crystallography are formidable multidisciplinary undertakings, requiring protein construct design, expression and purification, crystallization trials, phase determination, and model building. Modern mass spectrometric methods can greatly facilitate these obligate tasks. Thus, mass spectrometry can be used to verify that the desire...

in this study ptfeco ternary alloys nanoparticles of three dimentional (3d) rhombus shapes dispersed on graphene nanosheets (ptfeco/gr) were successfully prepared and studied as electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (orr) in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells. a combination of analytical techniques including powder x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectra, inductively coupled plasma-...

We are developing low-temperature detectors for optical, ultraviolet, X-ray, and gamma-ray spectroscopy, and for biomolecular mass spectrometry. We present here a survey of our recent work in developing these detectors and some of the first results in applying these detectors for materials analysis and biomolecular mass spectrometry. We have measured thin-film Nb/Al/Al2O3/Al/Nb superconducting ...

In this contribution, an effective and soft method for removal of template from nanochannels of mesoporous silica (MCM-41) is proposed. This method is based on chemically-modified solvent extraction which enhanced by means of an auxiliary organic compound, i.e. benzene sulfonamide. Template removal was performed in soft condition, i.e. in the presence of diluted sulfuric acid and at ambient tem...

The first cylindrical host for paraquat derivatives was prepared and characterized by X-ray analysis. Its complex with paraquat has 1:2 stoichiometry. The complexation is statistical and strong as shown by proton NMR characterization, electrospray mass spectrometry, and X-ray analysis.

According to UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, dynamic light scattering, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, nano-sized manganese oxides are proposed as active catalysts for water oxidation in the reaction of some manganes...

The quantitative evolution of dissolved polysulfides at both electrode sides lithium–sulfur batteries is determined with operando X-ray spectrometry.
