Acid mine/rock drainage (AMD/ARD), effluents with low pH and high concentrations of
hazardous and toxic elements generated when sulfide-rich wastes are exposed to the …

Catechols play an important role in many natural systems. They are known to readily interact
with both organic (eg, amino acids) and inorganic (eg, metal ions, metal oxides) compounds …

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are used in a rapidly expanding number
of research and practical applications in the biomedical field, including magnetic cell …

Iron is essential for metabolic processes in most living organisms. Pathogens and their hosts
often compete for the acquisition of this nutrient. However, iron can catalyze the formation of …

The mussel byssal cuticle employs DOPA–Fe3+ complexation to provide strong, yet
reversible crosslinking. Synthetic constructs employing this design motif based on catechol …

Catechols are found as functional groups in Nature as the 3, 4-dihydroxy isomer, generally
with electron donating substituents and as the 2, 3-dihydroxy isomer, with an electron …

Marine mussels secret catechol-containing adhesive proteins that enable these organisms
to bind to various surfaces underwater. Synthetic mimics of these proteins have been …

Here we define hydrogels crosslinked by weak bonds as physical hydrogels. They possess
unique features including reversible bonding, shear thinning and stimuli-responsiveness …

Abstract Pyrite (FeS 2), the most common sulfide mineral in nature, plays an important role in
the formation of acid mine drainage (AMD), one of the most serious environmental problems …

Iron is an essential element for most living organisms, and pathogens are likely to compete
with their hosts for the acquisition of this element. The bacterial plant pathogen Dickeya …
