    • Cárdenas, Carlos; Ayers, Paul W. (2013)
      By computing the electron-transfer energies for two million simulated double acid-base exchange reactions, we assess the reliability of the global hard-soft acid-base (HSAB) principle. We find that the HSAB principle is ...

      © 2017 Elsevier B.V.Commodity producing corporations have trillions of dollars in outstanding debt. Thus, the recent fall in commodity prices raised concerns about sustainability and systemic risks. Using a global sample ...
    • Bultinck, Patrick; Cárdenas Valencia, Carlos; Fuentealba Rosas, Patricio; Johnson, Paul A.; Ayers, Paul W. (American Chemical Society, 2014)
      A system in a spatially (quasi-)degenerate ground state responds in a qualitatively different way to a change in the external potential. Consequently, the usual method for computing the Fukui function, namely, taking ...

    • Pérez, Patricia; Toro Labbé, Alejandro; Contreras Ramos, Renato (American Chemical Society, 1999)
      A simple model to analyze charge redistribution associated with proton transfer (PT) reaction is derived from a classical ion transport model. The model is applied to the gas-phase acid-base equilibria of alkyl alcohols. ...
    • Fierro, Angélica; Osorio Olivares, Mauricio; Cassels Niven, Bruce; Edmondson, Dale E.; Sepúlveda Boza, Silvia; Reyes Parada, Miguel (Elsevier Ltd., 2007-05-22)
      Abstract—Four enantiomerically pure (S)-4-alkylthioamphetamine derivatives were evaluated as monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors using the human and rat isoforms of the enzyme. Molecular dockings were performed in order ...
    • Antonelli, Marcelo; Birnbaumer, Lutz; Allende, Jorge E.; Olate, Juan (1994)
      G proteins are heterotrimeric GTPases that play a key role in signal transduction. The α subunit of Gs bound to GTP is capable of activating adenylyl cyclase. The amino acid sequences derived from two X. laevis cDNA clones ...
    • Leyton, Patricio; Córdova, I.; Lizama Vergara, P. A.; Gómez Jeria, Juan; Aliaga, A. E.; Campos Vallette, Marcelo; Clavijo Campos, Ernesto; García Ramos, J. V.; Sánchez Cortés, S. (ELSEVIER, 2008-03-11)
      A humic acid (HA) extracted from lignite was successfully used in surface-enhanced Raman scattering SERS experiments as molecular occlusion assembler deposited onto a Ag colloidal surface to detect the polycyclic aromatic ...
    • Crivelli, Irma G.; Andrade, Carlos G. (1993)
      In the present study a copper mixed valence (MV) compound has been generated photochemically from the (CH3COO)2Cu(II)Cu(II)(OOCCH3)2 dimeric species in 95/5% (vol./vol.) methanol/acetic acid mixture as solvent. The MV ...
    • Fuentes, S.; Vera, V.; Rivera, F.; Moreno, M.; Benavente Espinosa, Eglantina; González Moraga, Guillermo (2012)
      Flexible and transparent polymer complexes prepared by blending chitosan (CS) with about 1 M of oligo-mercaptopropilsiloxane were functionalized by incorporating silver or gold nanoparticles in a concentration range of ...
    • Fuentes, S.; Ayala, M. V.; Benavente Espinosa, Eglantina; González Moraga, Guillermo (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2010)
      A series of new Chitosan=poly(mercaptopropysiloxane) hybrid films were obtained by blending mercaptopropylsiloxane oligomers (pMPS) with chitosan (CHI). The MPS oligomers were prepared by sol-gel using as precursor ...
