Coenzyme Q10
Coenzyme Q10 2-[(2E,6E,10E,14E,18E,22E,26E,30E,34E)-3,7,11,15,19,23,27,31,35,39-decamethyltetraconta-2,6,10,14,18,22,26,30,34,38-decaenyl]-5, 6-dimethoxy-3-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone-10, CoQ10, CoQ, Q10 or simply Q) is aubiquinone containing 10 isoprenoid units. First discovered in 1957 by Crane et al. [1], its chemical structure was determined by Karl Folkers [2], who later won the Priestley medal from the American Chemical Society. This oil-soluble, vitamin-like micronutrient forms part of the electron transport chain which, in the process of… Continue reading Coenzyme Q10
The power of multivalency against cholera -Inhibitor combines a pentavalent scaffold with cell membrane sugar to trick and trap the cholera toxin

Starch as a replacement for urea-formaldehyde in medium density fibreboard
Thermoplastic starch can be used to bind wood flour to produce a fibreboards which are mouldable, recyclable and ultimately compostable. Medium density fibreboard (MDF) is a ubiquitous product formed from wood flour and a formaldehyde-based resin. The use of the latter component causes some health and environmental concerns and its use is restricted. The… Continue reading Starch as a replacement for urea-formaldehyde in medium density fibreboard
