The natural acidity of sporopollenin, the biopolymer coating the outer walls of pollen grains, was enhanced by the sulfonation of its surface. Modified sporopollenin displaying sulfonic acid groups has been prepared, characterized by elemental analys...

Transient Receptor Potential A1 (TRPA1) is commonly known as the detector of a broad range of noxious chemical agents both exogenous and endogenous. TRPA1 detects these chemicals through a reversible covalent modification mechanism that allows most e...
