18 March 2014      • Visit Scientific Reports • Submit your manuscript to Scientific Reports     Welcome to your Table of Contents e-alert for Scientific Reports               Chemical Sciences               Tuned Critical Avalanche Scaling in Bulk Metallic Glasses ▶     James Antonaglia, Xie Xie, Gregory Schwarz et al.     Ingots of the bulk metallic glass (BMG), Zr64.13Cu15.75Ni10.12Al10 in atomic percent (at. %), are compressed at slow strain rates. The deformation behavior is characterized by …             Sequentially Hetero-functional, Topological Polymers by Step-growth Thiol-yne Approach ▶     Jin Han, Yaochen Zheng, Bo Zhao et al.     Sequence-controlled polymers (SCPs) such as DNA and proteins play an important role in biology. Many efforts have been devoted to synthesize SCPs in the past half a century. …             Quantitative proteomics of Xenopus laevis embryos: expression kinetics of nearly 4000 proteins during early development ▶     Liangliang Sun, Michelle M. Bertke, Matthew M. Champion et al.     While there is a rich literature on transcription dynamics during the development of many organisms, protein data is limited. We used iTRAQ isotopic labeling and mass spectrometry …             Facile and quantitative electrochemical detection of yeast cell apoptosis ▶     Qiulin Yue, Shiquan Xiong, Dongqing Cai et al.     An electrochemical method based on square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SWASV) was developed to detect the apoptosis of yeast cells conveniently and quantitatively through …             A malonitrile-functionalized metal-organic framework for hydrogen sulfide detection and selective amino acid molecular recognition ▶     Haiwei Li, Xiao Feng, Yuexin Guo et al.     A novel porous polymeric fluorescence probe, MN-ZIF-90, has been designed and synthesized for quantitative hydrogen sulfide (H2S) fluorescent detection and highly selective amino …             ERRATUM: Growth rate controlled synthesis of hierarchical Bi2S3/In2S3 core/shell microspheres with enhanced photocatalytic activity ▶     Juan Zhou, Guohui Tian, Yajie Chen et al.                 Ratiometric electrochemical proximity assay for sensitive one-step protein detection ▶     Kewei Ren, Jie Wu, Feng Yan et al.     This work proposes the concept of ratiometric electrochemical proximity assay (REPA), which can be used for one-step, highly sensitive and selective detection of protein. The …             Experimental observation of defect pair separation triggering phase transitions ▶     M. Cordin, B. A. J. Lechner, S. Duerrbeck et al.     First-order phase transitions typically exhibit a significant hysteresis resulting for instance in boiling retardation and supercooling. The hysteresis arises, because nucleation …             Circular Dichroism studies on the interactions of antimicrobial peptides with bacterial cells ▶     Concetta Avitabile, Luca Domenico D'Andrea, Alessandra Romanelli     Studying how antimicrobial peptides interact with bacterial cells is pivotal to understand their mechanism of action. In this paper we explored the use of Circular Dichroism to …             A quantitative study of chemical kinetics for the synthesis of doped oxide nanocrystals using FTIR ▶     Na Zhang, Xin Wang, Zhizhen Ye et al.     The synthesis of Mg-doped ZnO nanocrystals was employed as a model system to quantitatively study the chemical kinetics of the precursor conversion reactions at synthetic …             Tunable Two-color Luminescence and Host–guest Energy Transfer of Fluorescent Chromophores Encapsulated in Metal-Organic Frameworks ▶     Dongpeng Yan, Yanqun Tang, Heyang Lin et al.     Co-assembly of chromophore guests with host matrices can afford materials which have photofunctionalities different from those of individual components. Compared with clay and …             Optical gating with organic building blocks. A quantitative model for the fluorescence modulation of photochromic perylene bisimide dithienylcyclopentene triads ▶     Martti Pärs, Michael Gradmann, Katja Gräf et al.     We investigated the capability of molecular triads, consisting of two strong fluorophores that were covalently linked to a photochromic molecule, for optical gating. Therefore we …             A New Carbon Allotrope with Six-Fold Helical Chains in all-sp2 Bonding Networks ▶     Jian-Tao Wang, Changfeng Chen, Enge Wang et al.     Using a recently developed approach to constructing covalent network structures from linear carbyne, we identify by ab initio calculations a new carbon allotrope in () symmetry …                     • Careers & Jobs           naturejobs.com Science jobs of the week       Research Assistant     University of Bristol            Post Doctoral Associate     University of Miami            Post-Doctoral Fellowships     University of Dundee            Postdoctoral Associate     University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill            Research Scientist / Post-doc     Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research            Research Fellow     The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) Research Institute            Research Assistant / PhD Candidate     ETH Zurich            PhD Studentship     The Pirbright Institute            Clinical Operations Manager     Cancer Research UK            PostDoc / Senior Scientist     German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ)          No matter what your career stage, student, postdoc or senior scientist, you will find articles on naturejobs.com to help guide you in your science career.
