Das Element Fluor nimmt unter allen Elementen aufgrund seiner extre men Eigenschaften eine Sonderstellung ein. Seine hohe Elektronegativitat und die kompakte Elektronenhiille bewirken besondere Bindungsverhiilt nisse in den anorganischen und organischen Fluorverbindungen. Daher hat sich die Fluorchemie schon langst zu einem eigenstandigen Gebiet entwickelt. Nachdem elementares Fluor auch kommerziell erhaltlich ist, und bedingt durch die Entwicklung fluorresistenter und leicht bearbeitba rer Materialien sowie durch die Verbesserung und Entdeckung zahlreicher Analysenmethoden hat die...

Infrared spectroscopy is a new and innovative technology to study protein folding/misfolding events in the broad arsenal of techniques conventionally used in this field. The progress in understanding protein folding and misfolding is primarily due to the development of biophysical methods which permit to probe conformational changes with high kinetic and structural resolution. The most commonly used approaches rely on rapid mixing methods to initiate the folding event via a sudden change in solvent conditions. Traditionally, techniques such as fluorescence, circular dichroism or visible...
