A study of competitive molecular interaction effects on imprinting of molecularly imprinted polymers   Original Research Article Pages 74-83 M.C. Cela-Pérez, A. Lasagabáster-Latorre, M.J. Abad-López, J.M. López-Vilariño, M.V. Gónzalez-Rodríguez Highlights ► A study of inter- and intra-molecular interactions in pre- and post-polymerization complex was carried out by FTIR. ► A MIP was developed for a previously nonimprinted target, Atmer 129. ► Atmer 129 is able to form intra- and self-intermolecular H-bonding interactions. ► Atmer 129 started to crystallize out during the polymerization reaction. ► Selectivity results suggested that imprinting could be ascribed to shape recognition.

14.

An investigation of the effect of microwave treatment on the structure and unfolding pathways of β-lactoglobulin using FTIR spectroscopy with the application of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS)   Original Research Article Pages 101-109 A.I. Gomaa, J. Sedman, A.A. Ismail Highlights ► FTIR spectra of microwave treated and conventionally heated β-lactoglobulin were compared. ► Microwave treatment at sub-ambient temperature did not alter the protein's conformation. ► Disruption of tertiary structure at 40–60°C was enhanced by microwave treatment. ► Protein aggregation was more extensive during microwave treatment than during conventional heating. ► Unfolding pathways, as determined by 2D COS analysis, were similar during microwave treatment and conventional heating.

Cobos Picot, M.E. Tuttolomondo, A. Ben Altabef Highlights ► Theoretical data indicate that there is only one conformer withCssymmetry. ► Trimethylsilyl trichloroacetate is a convenient reagent for the silylation of phenols. ► The spectral features were subsequently assigned to the different normal modes of vibration. ► The lone pairs of Cl and F atoms and their interaction on theσ* CC andσ* CO. ► The rotation barrier, COCC dihedral angle is the same for the CX3C(O)OSi(CH3)3(X=CL, F).
