Ab initio molecular dynamics study of thiolate-protected gold clusters and their interaction with biomolecules
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2015-07-17)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessThiolate monolayer-protected gold clusters (AuMPCs) are being used in various biological and biomedical applications due to their unique physical and chemical properties. The fact that gold-sulphur bonds are very stable ... -
Advanced functional hydrogel biomaterials based on dynamic B-O bonds and polysaccharide building blocks
(2020-10-12)
Article
Open AccessDynamic covalent chemistry applied to polymers has attracted significant attention over the past decade. Within this area, this review highlights the recent research on polysaccharide-based hydrogels cross-linked by boronic ... -
Aromatic Polyesters from Cyclic Diacetalized Glucose
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2010-06)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe development of polymers based on monomers from renewable feedstock, and more specifically from carbohydrates, is a steadily growing field of interest because of the properties that can generate these unique structures. ... -
Bioremediation of agricultural runoff and biopolymers production from cyanobacteria cultured in demonstrative full-scale photobioreactors
(2020-07)
Article
Open AccessThe present work evaluated polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) and carbohydrates production by wastewater borne cyanobacteria at demonstrative-scale (three photobioreactors (PBR) of 11.7 m3 each), using agricultural runoff as ... -
Carbohydrate-based polyamides and polyesters: an overview illustrated with two selected examples
(2012-02)
Article
Open AccessAn overview on the synthesis, structure and properties of polyamides and aromatic copolyesters produced by using monomers derived from carbohydrates is provided. Two examples are selected for illustration: (a) aliphatic ... -
Modular functionalization of laminarin to create value-added naturally derived macromolecules
(2020-11-18)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyWith society’s growing awareness of climate change, novel renewable and naturally sourced materials have received increasing attention as substitutes for petroleum-based products. Laminarin (LAM–OH) is a highly abundant, ... -
Polyesters containing cyclic carbohydrate-based units obtained by ring opening polymerization
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, 2018-02-26)
Doctoral thesis
Open AccessIn recent years, as a result of climate change, the interest in sustainable materials has increased dramatically. The replacement of compounds of petrochemical origin by bio-based has spread to all areas of chemistry. ... -
Structural elucidation and engineering of a bacterial carbohydrate oxidase
(American Chemical Society, 2022-07)
Article
Open AccessFlavin-dependent carbohydrate oxidases are valuable tools in biotechnological applications due to their high selectivity in the oxidation of carbohydrates. In this study, we report the biochemical and structural characterization ...
