On the coordination of molybdenum in AgI−Ag2O−MoO3AgI-Ag_2O-MoO_3 glasses using XANES and EXAFS

X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and EXAFS analysis was made of the Mo K-edge spectra in a series of $AgI-Ag_2O-MoO_3$ glasses to detect the coordination of Mo in the glass. Mo exists in a tetrahedrally coordinated shell of four O atoms. Limitation of the EXAFS technique in discerning small distance differences in the first shell is discussed

On the coordination of molybdenum in AgI-Ag<SUB>2</SUB>O-MoO<SUB>3</SUB> glasses using XANES and EXAFS

XANES and EXAFS analysis of the MoK-edge spectra in a series of AgI-Ag<SUB>2</SUB>O-MoO<SUB>3</SUB> glasses has been performed in order to determine the coordination of molybdenum in the glass. Mo has been found to exist in a tetrahedrally coordinated shell of four oxygens. Limitation of theexafs technique in discerning small distance differences in the first shell has also been discussed

Effect of pressure on the fast-ion conduction in silver iodide-silver oxide-molybdenum oxide glasses

The effect of pressure (\leq80 kbar) on the electronic condense of a series of fast-ion conducting $AgI-Ag_2O-MoO_3$ glasses was studied. The results are consistent with a cluster model

High pressure transport behaviour of AgI-Ag2O-MoO3 glasses and the cluster model

The effect of pressure on the conductivity of fast ion conducting AgI-Ag2O-MoO3 glasses has been investigated down to 150 K. The observed variation of conductivities appears to support the application of cluster model to the ionic glasses

A self-associating hepatitis B surface antigen-derived peptide that is immunogenic in alum

We previously described an oligomeric synthetic peptide derived from the hepatitis B surface antigen that displayed a limited tendency to form self-associating macromolecular structures in solution. Here it is demonstrated that amino-terminal myristylation of this peptide results in near quantitative aggregation of the oligomeric peptide. The myristylated peptide is highly immunogenic when used in conjunction with alum as adjuvant in both the rabbit and rhesus monkey models. The antibody response generated by peptide also cross-reacted with native antigen and was long-lasting. Collectively the results described in this and previous reports offer an attractive new approach for generating immunogenic peptide mimetics of conformational epitopes that may find application as vaccines
