Reversible phase transitions within self-assembled fibrillar networks of (R)-18-(n-Alkylamino) octadecan-7-ols in carbon tetrachloride gels
Journal of the American Chemical
Society Share
  
The CCl4 gel phases of a series of low-molecular-mass organogelators, (R)-18-(n-alkylamino)octadecan-7-ols (HSN-n, where n = 0–5, 18 is the alkyl chain length), appear to be unprecedented in that the fibrillar networks of some of the homologues undergo thermally reversible,
gel-to-gel phase transitions, and some of those transitions are evident as opaque–transparent changes in the appearance of the samples.

Real time analysis of brain tissue by direct combination of ultrasonic surgical aspiration and sonic spray mass spectrometry
Analytical Chemistry Share
  
Direct combination of cavitron ultrasonic surgical aspirator and sonic spray ionization mass spectrometry is presented. A commercially available ultrasonic surgical device was coupled
to a Venturi easy ambient sonic-spray ionization source by directly introducing liquified tissue debris into the Venturi air jet pump.

A rational approach to developing anti-influenza drugs
National Academy of Sciences Share
  
New antiviral drugs against influenza are urgently needed as resistance to existing drugs develops. The influenza virus' RNA polymerase, which is responsible for viral replication, has recently emerged as a possible drug target. For influenza virus replication to occur, RNA polymerase must associate with the viral protein known as nucleoprotein, which
exists as a trimer.
