Prison break – How fungi escape from a hostile environment inside immune cells
Candida albicans is a commensal yeast of humans and colonizes ≈70% of the human population. It is common for C. albicans to cause self-limiting infections, but severe infections can be life-threatening. Invasive candidiasis occurs in patients with a
Metal-organic framework with dangling sulfonate groups for enhanced proton conductivity
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide a versatile platform for tuning the chemical functionality of pore surfaces and thus have attracted an increasing amount of attention for applications in gas storage, molecular separation, sensing, and catalysis. In contrast to
Insights into controlling the rates of proton transfer
The transfer of a proton (H+) between two sites (from an acid to a base) is a ubiquitous fundamental reaction which is involved in various key roles throughout chemistry and biology. Proton transfer reactions are invariably an
