Published: January 2018

Infrared spectra of surface species have been obtained during atomic layer deposition using tris(isopropylcyclopentadienyl)lanthanum, La(PrCp), and water as precursors at 160 °C and 350 °C. Gas-phase spectra of La(PrCp)are obtained for comparison. At low temperature, ligand exchange is seen to occur, and carbonate formation is found. With extended purging, the organic ligands are found to be stable on the surface, and carbonates are not formed. These observations indicate that carbonate formation is occurring during exposure to the precursors. At high temperature, the La precursor is observed to decompose leaving an opaque deposit containing relatively little hydrogen.

Unlabelled: Although tryptophan (Trp) is the largest and most structurally complex amino acid, it is the least abundant in the proteome. Its distinct indole ring and high carbon content enable it to generate various biologically active metabolites such as serotonin, kynurenine (Kyn), and indole-3-pyruvate (I3P). Dysregulation of Trp metabolism has been implicated in diseases ranging from depression to cancer.

Human primary (hpBMEC) and induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived brain microvascular endothelial-like cells (hiBMEC) are interchangeably used in blood-brain barrier models to study neurological diseases and drug delivery. Both hpBMEC and hiBMEC use glutamine as a source of carbon and nitrogen to produce metabolites and build proteins essential to cell function and communication. We used metabolomic, transcriptomic, and computational methods to examine how hpBMEC and hiBMEC metabolize glutamine, which may impact their utility in modeling the blood-brain barrier.

In this study, we investigate a novel hybrid borocarbonitride (bpn-BCN) 2D material inspired by recent advances in carbon biphenylene synthesis, using first-principles calculations and semi-classical Boltzmann transport theory. Our analysis confirms the structural stability of bpn-BCN through formation energy, elastic coefficients, phonon dispersion, and molecular dynamics simulations at 300 K and 800 K. The material exhibits an indirect band gap of 0.

Effects of Different Types of Microplastics on Cold Seep Microbial Diversity and Function.

The massive production and widespread use of plastics have resulted in a growing marine plastic pollution problem. Cold seep ecosystems are maintained by microorganisms related to nitrogen and carbon cycling that occur in deep-sea areas, where cold hydrocarbon-rich water seeps from the ocean floor. Little is known about plastic pollution in this ecosystem.

The functionalization of the C-N bond of amines is a straightforward strategy for the construction of complex scaffolds or for the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals. Herein, we describe a photoredox-catalyzed strategy for the deaminative alkylation of primary amine-derived isonitriles that provides unnatural amino acid derivatives under mild conditions. The use of silacarboxylic acids as silyl radical precursors enables the generation of carbon-centered radicals that allow the construction of Csp-Csp bonds via a Giese-type addition, avoiding the undesired hydrodeamination product.
