Heavy-metal (Cd, Hg, and Pb)-containing semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs) have been
explored widely due to their unique optical and electrical properties. However, the toxicity …

Polarization‐sensitive detectors based on anisotropic low‐dimensional materials have been
widely investigated in recent years. Some low‐dimensional materials possess anisotropy …

Polarized detection has been brought into operation for optics applications in the visible
band. Meanwhile, an advanced requirement in short-wave near-infrared (SW-NIR)(700 …

The ability to detect linearly polarized light is central to practical applications in polarized
optical and optoelectronic fields and has been successfully demonstrated with polarized …

Publisher Summary The chapter describes the understanding of the physics and physical
chemistry of sickle cell hemoglobin polymerization in solutions and in red cells. The …

After photodissociation of carbon monoxide bound to myoglobin, the protein relaxes to the
deoxy equilibrium structure in a quake-like motion. Investigation of the proteinquake and of …

PERSPECTIVES AND OVERVIEW... a protein cannot be said to have" a" secondary
structure but exists mainly as a group of structures not too different from one another in free …

Electroanalytical chemists and others are concerned not only with the application of new
and classical techniques to analytical problems, but also with the fundamental theoretical …

A proteome approach for the molecular analysis of the activation of rat stellate cell, a liver-
specific pericyte, led to the discovery of a novel protein named STAP (stellate cellactivation …

In transient optical experiments the absorbed photon raises the vibrational temperature of
the chromophore. In heme proteins at room temperature conversion of a 530-nm photon into …
