Accessing New Chemistries: Tuning Reactivity Of Chemical Processes Using Ionic Liquids And Deep Eutectic Solvents (Ref: CG-AC-2524)

Ionic solvents are known to alter the outcomes of chemical processes by influencing their mechanism. Because of the wide variety of different ions that might make up an ionic solvent, there is enormous scope for tuning these processes. Read more

Access-Controlled Oxidation: Understanding the role of structure in protein damage (Ref: CG-AC-2526)

Protein oxidation is a major marker of protein damage in aging and disease processes, and can occur through a number of routes. One poorly understood contributing element is how protein structure, including local structure, controls the outcomes of oxidation events in the body. Read more

Beyond normal - Proteins in Alien Environments (Ref: CG-AC-2525)

What would happen if the liquid enabling life were not water, but a class of molecules with a similar melting range known as 'ionic liquids'? Ionic liquids are, simply, liquids made of ions usually defined as having melting temperatures below 100C, for which there are millions of possible options. Read more
