Ionic liquids (ILs) with trichloride anions ([Cl]) combined with different cations were synthesised by bringing chlorine gas into contact with the corresponding chloride (Cl) ILs at room temperature. These trichloride ILs safely store chlorine and are useful as oxidising agents for dissolution of various metals and alloys under mild conditions.
A graphene oxide-peptide based fluorescence sensor has been developed for matrix metalloproteinase 2 (MMP2), and its applicability has been demonstrated by monitoring the concentration of MMP2 secreted by HeLa cells, revealing that HeLa cells with a density of 5.48 × 10(5) cells per mL can produce 22 nM in cell culture media in 24 h.
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.
