      A new coumarin-based ‘turn-off’ fluorescent probe, 7-(diethylamino)-N-(1,3-dihydroxy-2-(hydroxymethyl) propan-2-yl)-2-oxo-2H-chromene-3-carboxamide (AGD) was synthesized. This compound is highly selective for ferrous ...
    • Sanhueza, Magdalena; Lisman, John (BioMed Central, 2013)
      CaMKII is a major synaptic protein that is activated during the induction of long-term potentiation (LTP) by the Ca2+ influx through NMDARs. This activation is required for LTP induction, but the role of the kinase in the ...
    • Castro Castillo, Vicente; Suárez Rozas, Cristian; Pabón, Adriana; Pérez, Edwin G.; Cassels Niven, Bruce; Blair, Silvia (Elsevier, 2013)
      Some synthetic 1-azabenzanthrones (7H-dibenzo[de,h]quinolin-7-ones) are weakly to moderately cytotoxic, suggesting that they might also show antiparasitic activity. We have now tested a small collection of these compounds ...
    • González Olivares, Eduardo; Meneses Alcay, Héctor; González Yañez, Betsabé; Mena Lorca, Jaime; Rojas Palma, Alejandro; Ramos Jiliberto, Rodrigo (2013)
      This work deals with some typographical mistakes into the above-referenced paper. Although they do not affect the main results, it is necessary to make due corrections. We affirm that the results and conclusions obtained ...
    • Behn Von Schmieden, Antonio; Rodríguez, Rubí E.; Rojas Rodríguez, Anita María (Elsevier, 2013-03)
      We prove that given a finite group G together with a set of fixed geometric generators, there is a family of special hyperbolic polygons that uniformize the Riemann surfaces admitting the action of G with the given geometric ...
    • Areche Medina, Carlos; Rojas-Álvarez, Francisca; Campos-Briones, Carolina; Lima, Carlos; Pérez, Edwin G.; Sepúlveda, Beatriz (Royal Pharmaceutical Society, 2013-04-11)
      The chemical study of a dichloromethane extract from Azorella compacta was directed to the isolation of characteristic mulinane and azorellane diterpenoids in order to determine their gastroprotective activity. Methods ...
    • Benoist, Marion; Palenzuela, Rocío; Rozas, Carlos; Rojas, Patricio; Tortosa, Elena; Morales, Bernardo; González Billault, Christian; Avila, Jesús; Esteban, José A. (2013)
      The microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) plays critical roles in neurite growth and synapse maturation during brain development. This protein is well expressed in the adult brain. However, its function in mature ...
    • Shirao, Tomoaki; González Billault, Christian (International Society for Neurochemistry, 2013-07)
      endritic spines are small protrusions emerging from their parent dendrites, and their morphological changes are involved in synaptic plasticity. These tiny structures are composed of thousands of different proteins belonging ...
    • González, Alex; Bellenberg, Sören; Mamani, Sigde; Ruiz, Lina; Echeverría, Alex; Soulère, Laurent; Doutheau, Alain; Demergasso, Cecilia; Sand, Wolfgang; Queneau, Yves; Vera, Mario; Guiliani Guerin, Nicolás (Springer-Verlag, 2013-04)
      Biofilm formation plays a pivotal role in bioleaching activities of bacteria in both industrial and natural environments. Here, by visualizing attached bacterial cells on energetic substrates with different microscopy ...
    • Campos, Cristian; Muñoz, Martín; Barrientos, Lorena; Lang, Erika; Jara Vergara, Paul; Sobrados, Isabel; Yutronic Sáez, Nicolás (Springer, 2013-02)
      We report the synthesis and characterization of a new series of urea inclusion compounds containing primary alkylamine (octyl, decyl and dodecyl) as guests, as well as the deposition of gold and silver nanoparticles onto ...
    • Leiva Guzmán, Manuel; Morales, Sandra (Elsevier Inc., 2013)
      It is well-known that small-scale artisanal mining is a source of mercury emissions into the environment, mainly from the use of rudimentary technologies that use mercury amalgamation in the extraction process. Mines near ...
    • Naether, Uta; Rojas Rojas, Santiago; Martínez, Alejandro J.; Stützer, Simon; Tünnermann, Andreas; Nolte, Stefan; Molina Gálvez, Mario; Vicencio Poblete, Rodrigo; Szameit, Alexander (Optical Society of America, 2013-01)
      We show, numerically and experimentally, that the presence of weak disorder results in an enhanced energy distribution of an initially localized wave-packet, in one- and two-dimensional finite lattices. The addition of ...
    • Muñoz, Francisco; Cárdenas Valencia, Carlos; José, Rogan; Valdivia Hepp, Juan; Fuentealba Rosas, Patricio; Kiwi Tichauer, Miguel (ACS Publications, 2013-02-28)
      The dynamics of the collision process of a titanium dimer against a C-20 nanocluster in the bowl configuration is simulated by means ab initio molecular dynamics, focusing our interest on the first steps to synthesize ...
