Quantum Chemical Prediction of Equilibrium Acidities of Ureas, Deltamides, Squaramides and Croconamides
Published 2017-01-01Robust quantum chemical methods are employed to predict the pKas of several families of dual hydrogen-bonding organocatalyts/anion receptors, including deltamides and croconamides as well as their thio-derivatives. The ...Open AccessArticle -
Fluorescent and colorimetric chemosensors for pyrophosphate
Published 2015-01-01Pyrophosphate anions play key roles in various biological and chemical processes. During the last few years, many exciting results have emerged regarding the development of fluorescent and colorimetric sensors for this ...Open AccessArticle -
Investigating the effects of structure on sulfate recognition by neutral dipeptide receptors
Published 2018-01-01A small library of neutral peptide-based anion receptors was synthesised, where changes were made to the scaffold structure to investigate the effect these structural features have on the anion binding ability of these ...Open AccessThesis -
Anion Recognition By Cyclic Peptides
Published 2015-01-01Anion binding selectivity can often be controlled by judicious arrangement of recognition moieties around an anion of interest. Indeed, nature takes advantage of large peptides/proteins to provide highly efficient and ...Open AccessArticle -
The Pseudoproline Approach to Peptide Cyclization
Published 2018-01-01The development of efficient methods for the synthesis of cyclic peptides is of interest because of the many potential applications of this class of molecule. Pseudoprolines are derived from serine, threonine, and cysteine ...Open AccessArticle
