• A surfactant concentration model for the systematic determination of the critical micellar concentration and the transition width 

  Al-Soufi, Wajih; Novo Rodríguez, Mercedes (MDPI, 2021)

  The critical micellar concentration (cmc) is a fundamental property of surfactant solutions. Many proposed methods for the definition and determination of the cmc from property-concentration plots yield values, which depend ...

• Spectroscopic characterization of mitochondrial G-quadruplexes 

  Illodo, Sara; Pérez González, Cibrán; Barcia, Ramiro; Rodriguez-Prieto, Flor ; Al-Soufi, Wajih; Novo Rodríguez, Mercedes (MDPI, 2022)

  Guanine quadruplexes (G4s) are highly polymorphic four-stranded structures formed within guanine-rich DNA and RNA sequences that play a crucial role in biological processes. The recent discovery of the first G4 structures ...

• From Oligo(Phenyleneethynylene) Monomers to Supramolecular Helices: The Role of Intermolecular Interactions in Aggregation 

  Fernández Rodríguez, Berta; Fernández Villar, Zulema; Quiñoá Cabana, Emilio; Freire Iribarne, Félix Manuel (MDPI, 2021)

  Supramolecular helices that arise from the self-assembly of small organic molecules via non-covalent interactions play an important role in the structure and properties of the corresponding materials. Here we study the ...

• Highly Hydrophilic and Lipophilic Derivatives of Bile Salts 

  Vázquez Tato, María del Pilar; Seijas Vázquez, Julio Antonio; Meijide del Río, Francisco Ángel; Fraga López, Francisco José; Frutos del Río, Santiago de; Miragaya Otero, Javier; Trillo Novo, Juan Ventura; Jover Ramos, Aida; Soto Tellini, Victor Hugo; Vázquez Tato, José (MDPI, 2021)

  Lipophilicity of 15 derivatives of sodium cholate, defined by the octan-1-ol/water partition coefficient (log P), has been theoretically determined by the Virtual log P method. These derivatives bear highly hydrophobic or ...

• Observation of nuclear-spin Seebeck effect 

  Kikkawa, Takashi; Reitz, Derek; Ito, H.; Makiuchi, Takahiko; Sugimoto, T.; Tsunekawa, K.; Daimon, Shunsuke; Oyanagi, Koichi; Ramos Amigo, Rafael Enrique; Takahashi, Satoshi; Shiomi, Yuki; Tserkovnyak, Yaroslav; Saitoh, Eiji (Nature Publishing Group, 2021)

  Thermoelectric effects have been applied to power generators and temperature sensors that convert waste heat into electricity. The effects, however, have been limited to electrons to occur, and inevitably disappear at low ...
