Marsden, S.R. (author), Mestrom, L. (author), McMillan, D.G.G. (author), Hanefeld, U. (author)The enzymatic synthesis of esters and peptides is unfavoured in aqueous solvent systems due to competing hydrolysis. This can be overcome by using energy rich substrate analogues: elimination of a good leaving group temporarily establishes more favourable equilibrium conditions, allowing for (nearly) complete conversion. While kinetically...review 2019

Peters, J.A. (author), Djanashvili, K. (author), Geraldes, Carlos F.G.C. (author), Platas-Iglesias, Carlos (author)In the periodical system, the lanthanides (the 15 elements in the periodic table between barium and hafnium) are unique in the sense that their trivalent cations have their valence electrons hidden behind the 5s and 5p electrons. They show a gradual decrease in ionic radius with increasing atomic number (also known as the lanthanide...review 2020

Vakulchuk, Roman (author), Overland, Indra (author), Scholten, D.J. (author)This article reviews the literature on the geopolitics of renewable energy. It finds that while the roots of this literature can be traced back to the 1970s and 1980s, most of it has been published from 2010 onwards. The following aggregate conclusions are extracted from the literature: renewable energy has many advantages over fossil fuels...review 2020

Callens, S.J.P. (author), Uyttendaele, Rafael J.C. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author)Recent evidence clearly shows that cells respond to various physical cues in their environments, guiding many cellular processes and tissue morphogenesis, pathology, and repair. One aspect that is gaining significant traction is the role of local geometry as an extracellular cue. Elucidating how geometry affects cell and tissue behavior is,...review 2020
