DOI: 10.1021/acs.jpcc.7b09499
Abstract: We report a comparative study involving the formation of self-assembled molecular films by two types of alkanethiols (1-octadecanethiol and 1-dodecanethiol) on graphene grown via chemical vapor deposition, for heavy metal sensing applications. Scanning tunneling microscopy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/nar/gkz524
Abstract: Abstract Pathogenic bacteria encounter host-imposed manganese (Mn) limitation during infection. Herein we report that in the human pathogen Streptococcus pyogenes, the adaptive response to Mn limitation is controlled by a DtxR family metalloregulator, MtsR. Genes… read more here.
