• Effect of pretreatment temperature on the surface modification of diatomite with trimethylchlorosilane 

      Puente-Urbina, Allen; Hollenbach, Julia; Céspedes-Camacho, Isaac; Matysik, Jorg; Valle-Bourrouet, Grettel (Journal of Porous Materials, 2016)
      Diatomite samples from Costa Rica were purified using acidic treatments with hydrochloric acid, thermally treated (400–1000 C) and then silylated with trimethylchlorosilane in toluene under inert atmosphere. The ...
    • Site-specific cleavage of ribosomal RNA in Escherichia coli-based cell-free protein synthesis systems 

      Failmezger, Jurek; Nitschel, Robert; Kraml, Michael; Siemann-Herzberg, Martin; Sánchez-Kopper, Andrés (PLoS ONE, 2016)
      Cell-free protein synthesis, which mimics the biological protein production system, allows rapid expression of proteins without the need to maintain a viable cell. Nevertheless, cellfree protein expression relies on ...
    • Synthesis, properties, and two-dimensional adsorption characteristics of 5-amino[6]hexahelicene 

      Van der Meijden, Maarten W.; Gelens, Edith; Murillo-Quirós, Natalia; Fuhr, Javier D.; Gayone, Esteban; Ascolani, Hugo; Wurst, Klaus; Lingenfelder, Magalí; Kellogg, Richard M. (Willy, 2016)
      A convergent synthesis of racemic 5-amino[6]hexahelicene is described. Cross-coupling reactions are used to assemble a pentacyclic framework, and a metal-catalyzed ring-closure comprises the final step. The enantiomers ...
    • Tracking dipeptides at work-uptake and intracellular fate in CHO culture 

      Sánchez-Kopper, Andres; Becker, Max; Pfizenmaier, Jennifer; Kessler, Christian; Karau, Andreas; Takors, Ralf (AMB Express, 2016)
      Market demands for monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are steadily increasing worldwide. As a result, production processes using Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO) are in the focus of ongoing intensification studies for maximizing ...
