Size-selected negatively-charged boron clusters (Bn−) have been found to be planar or quasi-planar in a wide size range. Even though cage structures emerged as the global minimum at B39−, the...
The first triazole-containing fluorescent probe with excellent water-solubility for Pd(2+) was presented. The results indicated that an amide-triazole-amide binding sequence was responsible for the unique affinity of PS-1 toward Pd(2+). Among the tested metal ions, only Pd(2+) could selectively quench the fluorescence of PS-1 under physiological conditions, while other common interference ions like Pt(2+) and Ru(3+) caused little changes. The successful fluorescence imaging of Pd(2+) in HeLa cells implied the potential applications of PS-1 in biological Pd(2+)-analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
