Microstructured Fibers Optimized for Transverse Load and Pressure Sensing

Microstructured fiber Bragg grating sensors allow measuring transverse strains and hydrostatic pressures with an order of magnitude higher sensitivity than conventional birefringent fibers. They have applications...

Non-instrumented DNA isolation, amplification and microarray-based hybridization for a rapid on-site detection of devastating Phytophthora kernoviae

A rapid and simple instrument-free detection system was developed for the identification of the plant pathogen Phytophthora kernoviae (P. kernoviae). The on-site operable analysis steps include magnetic...

Raman Spectroscopy as a Rapid Tool for Quantitative Analysis of Butter Adulterated with Margarine

Butter adulteration with margarine continues to be a threat for consumers; therefore, new rapid analytical tools are needed for quality control/quality assurance purposes. In this study, we used Raman...

Plant Protochlorophyllide Oxidoreductases A and B CATALYTIC EFFICIENCY AND INITIAL REACTION STEPS

The enzyme protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (POR, EC 1.3.1.33) has a key role in plant development. It catalyzes one of the later steps in chlorophyll synthesis, the light-induced reduction of protochlorophyllide...

Sensitization of NO-Releasing Ruthenium Complexes to Visible Light

We report a combined spectroscopical–theoretical investigation on the photosensitization of transition metal nitrosyl complexes. For this purpose, ruthenium nitrosyl complexes based on tetradentate biscarboxamide...

SiO2-Al2O3-La2O3 glass – a superior medium for optical Kerr gating at moderate pump intensity

Novel SiO2-Al2O3-La2O3 (SAL) glass shows a switching efficiency > 70% for dual wavelengths optical Kerr gating (OKG) at 1 TW=cm2 peak intensity IP of the gate pulse. It is steadily increasing with IP,...

Molecular Detection of Bacteria and Decontamination of Water: Molecular Detection of Bacteria and Decontamination of Water: Current trends and future perspectives

Microbial contamination of water resources causes a huge socio-economic impact as illustrated by the frequent outbreaks in developed and resource constrained countries. To combat potential threat an efficient...

Coordination Chemistry Reviews

Fiber array based hyperspectral Raman imaging for chemical selective analysis of malaria-infected red blood cells

A new setup for Raman spectroscopic wide-field imaging is presented. It combines the advantages of a fiber array based spectral translator with a tailor-made laser illumination system for high-quality...

Role of the Chemical Environment beyond the Coordination Site: Structural Insight into Fe-III Protoporphyrin Binding to Cysteine-Based Heme-Regulatory Protein Motifs

The importance of heme as a transient regulatory molecule has become a major focus in biochemical research. However, detailed information about the molecular basis of transient heme–protein interactions...
