Conspectus Chemists have long been fascinated by chirality, water, and interfaces, making
tremendous progress in each research area. However, the chemistry emerging from the …

Intestinal health relies on the immunosuppressive activity of CD4 + regulatory T (T reg ) cells
1 . Expression of the transcription factor Foxp3 defines this lineage, and can be induced …

A revered instructor of the eremitic monks of Nitria, Sketis and Kellia, Evagrius Ponticus is a
fascinating yet enigmatic figure in the history of fourth-century mystical thought. This …

Understanding the role of water in biological processes remains a central challenge in the
life sciences. Water structures in hydration shells of biomolecules are difficult to study in situ …

The major products of the initial steps of ferulic acid polymerization by lignin peroxidase
included three dehydrodimers resulting from β-5′ and β-β′coupling and two trimers resulting …

OBJECTIVE.: To investigate the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) in
breast carcinoma effusions and to analyze its relationship to anatomic site and clinical …

We develop an electrostatic map for the vibrational NH stretch (amide A) of the protein backbone
with a focus on vibrational chiral sum frequency generation spectroscopy (chiral SFG). …

Biomolecular hydration is fundamental to biological functions. Using phase-resolved chiral
sum-frequency generation spectroscopy (SFG), we probe molecular architectures and …

The chemistry of interfaces differs markedly from that of the bulk. Calculation of interfacial
properties depends strongly on the definition of the interface, which can lead to ambiguous …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to characterize phenotypic alterations along the
progression of breast carcinoma from primary tumor to pleural effusion through analysis of the …
