Tracking chemical coherence in condensed media
cis-stilbene is a photochemical prototype for cis-trans olefinic photoisomerisation. In our recent work, we show that this process maintains coherence throughout the reaction path, even in liquid-phase. This has interesting implications for the evolutionary favourability of this reaction in biology.
Understanding the photogenerated hole traps in metal-organic-framework-based photocatalysts
We report a ternary MOF-based photocatalyst Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS with a spatially separated structure for the hole-trap transfer pathway in the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution reaction processes.
Prying into biomolecular condensates using single-droplet surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy
We introduce a highly sensitive methodology that captures key vibrational signatures using surface-engineered, plasmonic, metal nanoparticles spontaneously encapsulated into protein liquid droplets allowing us to unveil the inner workings of biomolecular condensates in a droplet-by-droplet manner.
Exploiting the temporal dimension of hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass-spectrometry to localise protein-protein interactions
Our paper describes a method to more accurately extract structural information about protein-protein interactions from hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS).
