Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are a large group of man-made chemicals that are widely used throughout society and found in the environment. These compounds are characterized by perfluorinated carbon chains of varying ...
The principal aim of this thesis is the understanding of the electronic structure of organic diradical and polyradical molecules. Unveiling the properties that give them the electronic, magnetic, and optical properties to ...
Photopharmacology is an emerging field that relies on the development of photosensitive compounds to enable precise spatiotemporal control over endogenous proteins. Photochromic ligands· are designed to respond ...
Nowadays there is a growing interest in the capture and utilization of CO2 because of the increase of its concentration in the atmosphere. Captured CO2 can be recycled through different processes to obtain several value-added ...
For many years symmetry has been a useful concept in the study of the spatial organization of atoms in molecules or solids. The presence of symmetry elements in a given molecular structure gives a valuable information about ...
Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes and components of regular periphyton formation. Overall, there are around 2000 cyanobacterial species that live in various environments. Some cyanobacterial species are known to form blooms, ...
Over the recent decades, several studies revealed the precarious climate situation which is threatening all Life forms on earth, including mankind, even if sometimes we tend to ignore the actual fragility of our situation. ...
Photopharmacology has the main purpose to allow the control of protein activity with light. The most exploited strategy used to achieve this objective is the freely diffusible photopharmacology and it is based in the use ...
The work carried out in this thesis is based on the study of transition metal carbides (TMCs) as catalysts study from a theoretical point of view, using the techniques of Computational Chemistry. TMC materials have been ...
Peptides are defined as compounds that contain between two and fifty amino acids connected together by amide bonds. Inside our body, peptides are natural biological messengers that play critical roles in human physiology ...
Nanoparticles are highly relevant for catalysis due to their nanostructure, which increases the fraction of surface atoms, and the size dependent morphology and properties. Catalytic properties of nanoalloys also depend ...
The increased presence of nano-enabled products in multiple applications has raised concerns about its potential risks to human health and the environment. Therefore, there is a need for a responsible and coordinated ...
La abrazadera deslizante eucariota (PCNA), juega un papel esencial como componente del replisoma. PCNA, de forma toroidal, rodea el DNA y ata las polimerasas y otros factores a la plantilla genómica para una síntesis ...
The photocatalytic hydrogen production is considered an environmentally promising and friendly method, which could lead to achieve clean and renewable hydrogen and contribute in the future to store solar energy as chemical ...
Catalysis is ubiquitous in chemical industries since it accelerates chemical reactions, thereby saving considerable amounts of energy. Most catalytic processes in industry are heterogeneous in nature, typically involving ...
Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR), which is a combination of membrane separation and anaerobic digestion, is an emerging biotechnology for municipal sewage treatment. The application of AnMBRs in the mainline of ...
Bone tissue has an excellent healing response, recovering functional and structural properties when damaged. Notwithstanding, severe damage to the bone implies the need for surgery to recover. Different orthopaedic devices ...
Since the industrial revolution, we have introduced thousands or tens of thousands of new synthetic compounds, originating a new environmental perturbation in the Earth’s system. Among these, there are the so-called ...
Digital technologies are generating a global transformation with economic, social, and environmental implications. Digitalization has already shown many benefits to society; however, it is also generating a fierce debate ...
Chemical exposure to emerging contaminants (ECs) is a major concern nowadays. These ECs have recently become a global environmental threat, and an in-depth characterization of their occurrence and toxic impact is needed. ...
