Tuneable graphite intercalates for hydrogen storage
The development of hydrogen as an energy transfer mechanism is of great importance to alleviate environmental damage and economic destabilisation caused by over-reliance on oil, as long as the hydrogen can be generated renewably. To be suitable for road transport applications, safe and compact …

Latin Squares and Applications
Intercalates and the maximum number of intercalates are presented. We introduced partially intercalate complete Latin squares and results on the existence of some infinite families as well as Latin squares of smaller size is given. The second part of our work summarizes the main results on …

Flavone: the Molecular and Mechanistic Study of How a Simple Flavonoid Protects DNA from Oxidative Damage.
… results are defined for flavone. 1) Flavone intercalates into DNA and saturates DNA at a 1/3.5 flavone:DNA molar ratio. 3) Flavone reduces iron-dependent DNA oxidation. 4) Flavone interacts with quercetin to enhance DNA protection. These results characterize the primary activities of a simple …

Spectroscopic and thermal analysis of clay mineral-organic composites.
… the remarkable thermal stability of these intercalates; they are stable to above 450 °C, and exhibit interlayer spacings of 15.4 A. Furthermore, the fate of the water as the entraining agent is determined and is found to be hydrogen bonded to the phosphonic acid moiety of PPA and also …

Characterising Electrolyte Interactions with Carbon Anodes for Sodium Ion Batteries
… used to provide evidence that diglyme also co-intercalates into the disordered hard carbons that are normally used as anodes, albeit to a lesser extent than in graphite. Chapter 4 sets out to probe the dynamics of diglyme co-intercalated into hard carbon using 2H NMR and simulations, and then …

Expression, Purification and Molecular Characterisation of Sideroflexin Proteins
… equilibrium assays using hemin, but hemin intercalates into detergent micelle and it was not possible to separate specific binding from non-specific hemin-detergent interactions, but this lead needs to be explored further.

Novel bisnaphthalimidopropyl polyamine derivatives: their mode of action in a breast cancer cell system.
… bisnaphthalimidopropyl spermidine (BNIPSpd) bis-intercalates to DNA, induces oxidative DNA damage, depletes polyamine levels and causes cell death by apoptosis in human colon cancer CaCO-2 and HT-29 cells. The aim of this thesis was to synthesise new BNIPP derivatives to highlight the important …

Melatonin's Protection against DNA Damage by the Iron (III)-Adriamycin Complex.
… reaction. 4) Fe<sup>+3</sup>-Adriamycin (1:2) intercalates into DNA to the same degree as uncomplexed adriamycin. 5) Melatonin also binds to DNA but not by intercalation. These experiments indicate that the cardioprotective effect of melatonin in adriamycin therapy may stem from melatoninÆs …

Specificity of triple helix formation
… was also<br/>investigated. Anthraquinone intercalates between DNA bases in duplex DNA and<br/>can be tethered to the end of a TFO to increase stability. The specificity of five<br/>TFOs with different anthraquinone modifications was examined by footprinting<br/>against fragments containing …

Thermo-analytical and physico-chemical characterisation of organoclays and polymer-clay nacomposites.
… This research into the use of covalently bound intercalates in nanocomposite manufacture signifies the necessity for further research.

Development of less toxic analogues of fascaplysin as novel therapeutic agents for the treatment of cancer
… inhibitor. However, fascaplysin also intercalates DNA resulting in S phase block in the cell division cycle and unusual toxicity at the cellular level. The purpose of these studies was to develop a less toxic analogue of fascaplysin that abolishes fascaplysin's DNA binding capacity but …

Mechanism-Based Strategies to Enhance The Actions of A
… Actinomycin D (Act D), used in the clinic, intercalates into DNA and blocks RNA elongation. Stress inducible (HSP90á, HSP70 and HSP27) and constitutive (HSP90â and HSC70) mRNA and protein levels were measured using real time RT-PCR and immunoblot assays. Treatment with 0.5 µM 17-AAG for 8 …

Understanding the effects of promoters on the direct synthesis of hydrogen peroxide over supported palladium catalysts
… Br saturates surface Pd and subsequently intercalates within the near-surface region of Pd nanoparticles. Infrared spectra of adsorbed CO imply that Br atoms bind preferentially to under coordinated sites while ex situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates that these Br*-atoms …
