Chauliac D1, Pullammanappallil PC2, Ingram LO3, Shanmugam KT4.
Biotechnology letters.Biotechnol Lett.2015 Dec;37(12):2411-8. doi: 10.1007/s10529-015-1924-z. Epub 2015 Aug 14.
OBJECTIVE: A bio-based process is appealing for purification of L-lactic acid, the major enantiomer of polylactic acid syrup, generated by thermochemical processes at the end of life of PLA-based plastics, from its chiral impurity, D-lactic acid, before reuse.RESULTS: Polylactic acid (PLA), a renewa

Chiral discrimination in NMR spectroscopy.

Buckingham AD1.
Quarterly reviews of biophysics.Q Rev Biophys.2015 Nov;48(4):421-3. doi: 10.1017/S0033583515000074.
Nuclear magnetic resonance is the most important form of molecular spectroscopy in chemistry and biochemistry but it is normally blind to chirality. It was predicted in 2004 that precessing nuclear spins in chiral molecules in a liquid in a strong magnetic field induce a rotating electric polarizati

Isomers/enantiomers of perfluorocarboxylic acids: Method development and detection in environmental samples.

Naile JE1, Garrison AW2, Avants JK3, Washington JW4.
Chemosphere.Chemosphere.2015 Oct 28;144:1722-1728. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2015.10.075. [Epub ahead of print]
Perfluoroalkyl substances are globally distributed in both urban and remote settings, and routinely are detected in wildlife, humans, and the environment. One of the most prominent and routinely detected perfluoroalkyl substances is perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), which has been shown to be toxic to
