The chemical diversity of plants is enormous as plants produce a variety of compounds that play key roles, for instance, in the growth, defence and reproduction of plants. This diversity is not well recognised in chemistry ...

Based on Watson—Crick base pairing principle, therapeutic oligonucleotides bear the potential to either inhibit or alter protein synthesis. Replacing or augmenting Watson—Crick base paring by metal coordination offers a ...

Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) has emerged as a powerful tool for screening and optimization of lead compounds for the discovery of new drugs. This thesis introduces a novel method for base filling through the ...

The smectites represent a versatile class of clay minerals, offering possibilities of applications in several industrial and scientific fields. The hectorite belongs to this class, but it has the advantage of production ...

This thesis work focused on a specialized plant metabolite group called hydrolysable tannins with the aim of expanding the knowledge on their hydrophobicity, interactions with lipid membranes and antibacterial capacity. ...

In this multidisciplinary thesis, thousands of plant species were screened to study their major foliar polyphenol groups and their distribution across the plant kingdom. While plants produce thousands of polyphenol compounds ...

Plant tannins have been widely studied for their antiparasitic properties. They also possess other beneficial effects for animal health and environment, such as controlling ruminant bloating and reducing the emission of ...

Antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) leverage the natural catalytic activity of RNases H to target specific RNA sequences for degradation. However, the challenge lies in incorporating chemical modifications into ASOs to enhance ...

Photochromic sodalite, Na8(AlSiO4)6(Cl,S)2, has been a topic of research for almost 100 years, though only recently has a deep understanding of its remarkably fatigueresistant colour change been obtained. Aside from the ...

Dynamic combinatorial chemistry (DCC) is an ideal tool used to create complex chemical systems, where a variety of components are produced in a combinatorial way by linking building blocks through reversible chemical bonds ...
