Jacques Poupaert et al.
Current medicinal chemistry, 12(7), 877-885 (2005-04-28)
The 2(3H)-benzoxazolone heterocycle and its bioisosteric surrogates (such as 2(3H)-benzothiazolinone, benzoxazinone, etc.) have received considerable attention from the medicinal chemists owing to their capacity to mimic a phenol or a catechol moiety in a metabolically stable template. These heterocycles and

Biosensors & bioelectronics, 44, 85-88 (2013-02-12)
New graphene-silk peptide (Gr-SP) nanosheets were prepared and successfully fabricated with tyrosinase (Tyr) as a novel biosensor for the determination of phenolic compounds. The Gr-SP nanosheets were fully characterized with transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, UV/Vis and

Conjugation of mussel-inspired catechol groups to various polymer backbones results in materials suitable as silicon anode binders. The unique wetness-resistant adhesion provided by the catechol groups allows the silicon nanoparticle electrodes to maintain their structure throughout the repeated volume expansion
