Abstract:
Appealing properties: ChemPlusChem is proud to present its Special Issue on π-Conjugated Molecules and their Applications, guest-edited by Paolo Samorí, Xinliang Feng, and Davide Bonifazi. It contains both research and review articles that feature some of the most enlightening approaches on the synthesis of novel conjugated (macro)molecules, and highlights their special chemical and physical properties arising from the π-conjugation, as well as their processing and self-assembly at surfaces and interfaces, and integration into a range of devices.

Phase II Conjugation Reactions: Overview
Conjugated Proteins
Nucleoproteins are protein complexes that contain nucleic acids, categorized as deoxyribonucleoproteins (DNPs) or ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) respectively. The nucleosome is a typical example of a DNP where nuclear DNA is associated with histone proteins. The major antigen for the Covid-19 virus SARS-CoV is an RNP that is critical...

Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
