The results also indicated that rice starch had compatibility with ι-carrageenan, and the blend of these two polysaccharides can be potentially used for coating fruit and vegetables.]]> Wed 31 Oct 2018 15:13:27 AEDT ]]> Low-cost alternative high-performance hole-transport material for perovskite solar cells and its comparative study with conventional SPIRO-OMeTAD https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33914 Wed 23 Jan 2019 11:42:52 AEDT ]]> Thienylvinylenethienyl and naphthalene core substituted with triphenylamines-highly efficient hole transporting materials and their comparative study for inverted perovskite solar cells https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33910 oc of 1.07 V. The obtained performance is one of the highest performances in inverted perovskite layouts. The cut‐price and straightforward synthesis with elegant scale up makes these classes of materials important for the industry to produce high‐throughput printed perovskite solar cells for large area applications.]]> Wed 23 Jan 2019 10:40:21 AEDT ]]> Nano-anemones: stimulus-responsive copolymer-micelle surfaces https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2495 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:44 AEDT ]]> FtsK DNA translocase: the fast motor that knows where it's going https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10871 5000 bp per second—and is powerful enough to remove other proteins from the DNA. In bacteria it is localised to the site of cell division, the septum, where it functions as a DNA pump at the late stages of the cell cycle, to expedite cytokinesis and chromosome segregation. The N terminus of the protein is involved in the cell-cycle-specific localisation and assembly of the cell-division machinery, whereas the C terminus forms the motor. The motor portion of FtsK has been studied by a combination of biochemistry, genetics, X-ray crystallography and single-molecule mechanical assays, and these will be the focus here. The motor can be divided into three subdomains: α, β and γ. The α and β domains multimerise to produce a hexameric ring with a central channel for dsDNA, and contain a RecA-like nucleotide-binding/hydrolysis fold. The motor is given directionality by the regulatory γ domain, which binds to polarised chromosomal sequences—5′-GGGNAGGG-3′, known as KOPS—to ensure that the motor is loaded onto DNA in a specific orientation such that subsequent translocation is always towards the region of the chromosome where replication usually terminates (the terminus), and specifically to the 28 bp dif site, located in this region. Once the FtsK translocase has located the dif site it then interacts with the XerCD site-specific recombinases to activate recombination.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:14:31 AEDT ]]> Study on the reaction of CCl₂F₂ with CH₄ in a dielectric barrier discharge nonequilibrium plasma https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28906 −1 (applied voltage range is 13.4–14.8 kV, peak-peak). The relatively low input feed concentration of CCl₂F₂ and methane in the argon bath gas modifies the strong filamentary appearance of the pure argon discharge to a more diffuse appearance.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:59 AEDT ]]> Effect of biocomposite edible coatings based on pea starch and guar gum on nutritional quality of "Valencia" orange during storage https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33407 Fri 26 Oct 2018 16:06:01 AEDT ]]> Development of edible blend films with good mechanical and barrier properties from pea starch and guar gum https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33354 Fri 19 Oct 2018 16:54:43 AEDT ]]>
