Unveiling causal relationship between non-covalent interactions and evaluated Young’s modulus within oligolignols-cellulose complexes
"This paper presents an approach for predicting a macroscopic mechanical property (Young's modulus) of a complex material (oligolignol-cellulose) from microscopic properties (in particular, analysis of the electron density around hydrogen bonds).
This is relevant both for scientists interested in the (mechanical) properties of similar materials and for researchers developing and applying the quantum-chemical methods used for the analysis."

Baltic Sea shipwrecks as a source of hazardous pollution
"The Baltic Sea is a unique ecosystem, and several shipwrecks have been reported in it. Such wrecks are now known to leach organic pollutants, fossil fuels as well as heavy metals into the surrounding water. The coverage of the reported study have future implications for both human and aquatic lives in the Baltic Sea"

Comparing effects of attractive interactions in crowded systems: nonspecific, hydrophobic, and hydrogen bond interactions
"The environment within a cell is crowded with many species, but many studies attempt to extrapolate behavior in a cell from low concentration systems. The work nicely illuminates crowding effects that arise from excluded volume, non-specific attractive interactions, and hydrogen bonding on a 35-amino acid chain."

Genetic algorithm-based re-optimization of the Schrock catalyst for dinitrogen fixation
"Predictive catalysis methodologies including combinations computational chemistry and machine learning techniques, are essential to support and boost sustainable chemical advances and chemical manufacturing by rationally supporting and replacing burdensome experimental endeavours. This study contributes to expanding the predictive catalysis toolbox for optimising Schrock catalysts for dinitrogen fixation, one of the most critical processes for sustaining biological life on earth."

Analysing binding stoichiometries in NMR titration experiments using Monte Carlo simulation and resampling techniques
"This is a multidisciplinary work. It uses a powerful analytical tool to resolve chemical structures to measure binding constants between ligands and receptors, which is a very elegant approach. As complexation occurs, the technique senses the changes in the environment for each proton as the stoichiometries changes."
