Organic, hybrid, and 2D materials have attracted interest for electronic applications due to their potential for use in low-cost, large-area, flexible electronic devices. Here we will report on recent developments pertaining to surface modifiers and dopants that could impact the charge injection/collection/transport processes in organic light emitting diodes, organic field effect transistors, and photovoltaic devices.

In response to changes in calcium concentration, the intracellular calcium sensing protein calmodulin (CaM) alters the function of many proteins throughout the body. Many of these processes are important for normal physiology. Loss of function, miss-function, or untimely CaM function can cause or contribute to disease; some of which can be life threatening. There is a growing appreciation for the wide range of conformations and binding orientations CaM can utilize for interaction.

The bacterial lipidome has recently gained appreciation as an important factor in antibiotic resistance and host-pathogen interactions during infection. However, the study of bacterial lipids can be particularly challenging due to the presence of lipid species that are unique to bacteria in general, as well as several lipid classes that are unique to individual species of bacteria.
