  abstract  = {In this work we present a CMOS high frequency direct immunosensor operating at 6 GHz (C-band) for label free determination of creatinine. The sensor is fabricated in standard 0.13 μm SiGe:C BiCMOS process. The report also demonstrates the ability to immobilize creatinine molecules on a Si3N4 passivation layer of the standard BiCMOS/CMOS process, therefore, evading any further need of cumbersome post processing of the fabricated sensor chip. The sensor is based on capacitive detection of the amount of non-creatinine bound antibodies binding to an immobilized creatinine layer on the passivated sensor. The chip bound antibody amount in turn corresponds indirectly to the creatinine concentration used in the incubation phase. The determination of creatinine in the concentration range of 0.88-880 μM is successfully demonstrated in this work. A sensitivity of 35 MHz/10 fold increase in creatinine concentration (during incubation) at the centre frequency of 6 GHz is gained by the immunosensor. The results are compared with a standard optical measurement technique and the dynamic range and sensitivity is of the order of the established optical indication technique. The C-band immunosensor chip comprising an area of 0.3 mm2 reduces the sensing area considerably, therefore, requiring a sample volume as low as 2 μl. The small analyte sample volume and label free approach also reduce the experimental costs in addition to the low fabrication costs offered by the batch fabrication technique of CMOS/BiCMOS process.},

Diastereomeric norbornapeptides were investigated by 1H-NMR, X-ray crystallography and CD spectroscopy and found to represent rigid globular scaffolds stabilized by intramolecular backbone hydrogen bonds with scaffold geometries determined by the chirality of amino acid residues and sharing structural features of β-turns and α-helices. Proteome profiling by capture compound mass spectrometry (CCMS) led to the discovery of the norbornapeptide 27c binding selectively to calmodulin as an example of a BBP protein binder. This and other BBPs showed high stability towards proteolytic degradation in serum.},

  abstract  = {Arsenic-containing fatty acids are a group of fat-soluble arsenic species (arsenolipids) which are present in marine fish and other seafood. Recently, it has been shown that arsenic-containing hydrocarbons, another group of arsenolipids, exert toxicity in similar concentrations comparable to arsenite although the toxic modes of action differ. Hence, a risk assessment of arsenolipids is urgently needed. In this study the cellular toxicity of a saturated (AsFA 362) and an unsaturated (AsFA 388) arsenic-containing fatty acid and three of their proposed metabolites (DMAV, DMAPr and thio-DMAPr) were investigated in human liver cells (HepG2). Even though both arsenic-containing fatty acids were less toxic as compared to arsenic-containing hydrocarbons and arsenite, significant effects were observable at μM concentrations. DMAV causes effects in a similar concentration range and it could be seen that it is metabolised to its highly toxic thio analogue thio-DMAV in HepG2 cells. Nevertheless, DMAPr and thio-DMAPr did not exert any cytotoxicity. In summary, our data indicate that risks to human health related to the presence of arsenic-containing fatty acids in marine food cannot be excluded. This stresses the need for a full in vitro and in vivo toxicological characterisation of these arsenolipids.},

  abstract  = {Fluid force microscopy combines the positional accuracy and force sensitivity of an atomic force microscope (AFM) with nanofluidics via a microchanneled cantilever. However, adequate loading and cleaning procedures for such AFM micropipettes are required for various application situations. Here, a new frontloading procedure is described for an AFM micropipette functioning as a force- and pressure-controlled microscale liquid dispenser. This frontloading procedure seems especially attractive when using target substances featuring high costs or low available amounts. Here, the AFM micropipette could be filled from the tip side with liquid from a previously applied droplet with a volume of only a few μL using a short low-pressure pulse. The liquid-loaded AFM micropipettes could be then applied for experiments in air or liquid environments. AFM micropipette frontloading was evaluated with the well-known organic fluorescent dye rhodamine 6G and the AlexaFluor647-labeled antibody goat anti-rat IgG as an example of a larger biological compound. After micropipette usage, specific cleaning procedures were tested. Furthermore, a storage method is described, at which the AFM micropipettes could be stored for a few hours up to several days without drying out or clogging of the microchannel. In summary, the rapid, versatile and cost-efficient frontloading and cleaning procedure for the repeated usage of a single AFM micropipette is beneficial for various application situations from specific surface modifications through to local manipulation of living cells, and provides a simplified and faster handling for already known experiments with fluid force microscopy.},

  abstract  = {The simulation of the optical properties of supramolecular aggregates requires the development of methods, which are able to treat a large number of coupled chromophores interacting with the environment. Since it is currently not possible to treat large systems by quantum chemistry, the Frenkel exciton model is a valuable alternative. In this work we show how the Frenkel exciton model can be extended in order to explain the excitonic spectra of a specific double-walled tubular dye aggregate explicitly taking into account dispersive energy shifts of ground and excited states due to van der Waals interaction with all surrounding molecules. The experimentally observed splitting is well explained by the site-dependent energy shift of molecules placed at the inner or outer side of the double-walled tube, respectively. Therefore we can conclude that inclusion of the site-dependent dispersive effect in the theoretical description of optical properties of nanoscaled dye aggregates is mandatory.},

  abstract  = {Complementary to the well-established zwitterionic monomer 3-((3-methacrylamidopropyl)dimethylammonio) propane-1-sulfonate (SPP), the closely related monomers 2-hydroxy-3-((3-methacrylamidopropyl) dimethylammonio)propane-1-sulfonate (SHPP) and 4-((3-methacrylamidopropyl)dimethylammonio)-butane-1-sulfonate (SBP) were synthesised and polymerised by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerisation, using a fluorophore labeled RAFT agent. The polyzwitterions of systematically varied molar masses were characterised with respect to their solubility in water and aqueous salt solutions. Both poly(sulfobetaine)s show thermoresponsive behaviour in water, exhibiting phase separation at low temperatures and upper critical solution temperatures (UCST). For both polySHPP and polySBP, cloud points depend notably on the molar mass, and are much higher in D2O than in H2O. Also, the cloud points are effectively modulated by the addition of salts. The individual effects can be in parts correlated to the Hofmeister series for the anions studied. Still, they depend in a complex way on the concentration and the nature of the added electrolytes, on the one hand, and on the detailed nature of the spacer group separating the anionic and the cationic charges of the betaine moiety, on the other hand. As anticipated, the cloud points of polySBP are much higher than the ones of the analogous polySPP of identical molar mass. Surprisingly, the cloud points of polySHPP are also somewhat higher than the ones of their polySPP analogues, despite the additional hydrophilic hydroxyl group present in the spacer separating the ammonium and the sulfonate moieties. These findings point to a complicated interplay of the various hydrophilic components in polyzwitterions with respect to their overall hydrophilicity. Thus, the spacer group in the betaine moiety proves to be an effective additional molecular design parameter, apparently small variations of which strongly influence the phase behaviour of the polyzwitterions in specific aqueous environments.},

  abstract  = {Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der ganzheitlichen Betrachtung der Fluideigenschaften eines unterpermischen Reservoirs am Geothermie Forschungsstandort Groß Sch{\"o}nebeck (GrSk) bei Reservoirbedingungen und im Betrieb der Geothermieanlage. Die Untersuchungen zur Fluidherkunft ergeben, dass es sich um ein konnates Wasser meteorischen Ursprungs ohne den Einfluss der dar{\"u}berliegenden Zechsteinw{\"a}sser handelt. Die Ionen und Isotopenverh{\"a}ltnisse im Formationswasser gel{\"o}ster Komponenten in GrSk belegen einen gemeinsamen Genesepfad mit W{\"a}ssern anderer Rotliegend-Reservoire des Nordostdeutschen Beckens (NEGB). Die Isotopenverh{\"a}ltnisse von ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ≈ 0,7158 und von δ³⁴SV CDT ≈ 4,1  per mille des Sulfats weisen auf die Anreicherung des Fluids mit schweren Isotopen durch die Fluid Gestein-Wechselwirkung mit Vulkaniten und Rotliegend Sandsteinen des Unteren Perms hin. Das im Formationswasser bei Reservoirbedingungen gel{\"o}ste Gas (Gas/Wasser ≤ 2 bei STP) enth{\"a}lt Stickstoff (δ¹⁵NAir ≈ 0,6  per mille) und thermogenes Methan (δ¹³CV-PDB ≈ - 18  per mille) aus organischen Karbonablagerungen (Kerogen Typ - III Kohlen) hoher Reife. Die Isotopenverh{\"a}ltnisse der Edelgase belegen eine krustale Herkunft des Gasgemisches. Die berechnete Verweilzeit τ (⁴He) der Gase im Reservoir liegt zwischen 275 und 317 Ma und {\"u}berschreitet damit bei gegebener Konzentration von Mutternukliden im Reservoirgestein das allgemein angenommene Zeitalter der Sedimentgruppe. Das l{\"a}sst sich durch eine Zuwanderung von Gasen aus {\"a}lteren Sedimentfolgen erkl{\"a}ren. Die Ver{\"a}nderungen der physikochemischen Fluidparameter w{\"a}hrend des Anlagenbetriebs sind haupts{\"a}chlich temperaturbedingt. Bei stabilen Produktionsbedingungen und einer Temperatur von ca. 100 °C stabilisieren sich auch die Fluideigenschaften. Bei In situ Bedingungen {\"u}bertage betr{\"a}gt die Dichte ρ = 1,1325 ± 0,0002 g ∙ mL⁻¹, das Redoxpotential Eh = -105,5 ± 1,3 mV und der pH = 6,61 ± 0,002. Die relative Zusammensetzung der Gasphase bei stabilen Produktionsbedingungen zeigt dagegen eine geringe Erh{\"o}hung des Stickstoffanteils sowie des Anteils der Kohlenwasserstoffe (Ethan, Propan, usw.) und Abnahme des relativen Methananteils im Laufe des Betriebs. Die quantitative Untersuchung der sekund{\"a}ren mineralischen Ausf{\"a}llungen im Fluid mittels sequentieller Extraktion zeigte, dass Schwermetalle als eine Hauptkomponente der Fluidfestphase gr{\"o}ßtenteils in Verbindung mit organischen Molek{\"u}len vorliegen. Experimente zum Einfluss organischer Verbindungen unterschiedlicher Substanzklassen auf eine Mobilisierung der Schwermetalle aus dem Reservoirgestein ergaben, dass die Verbindungen wie Fetts{\"a}uren und PAK (polyzyklische aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe) die Freisetzung von Kupfer, Nickel, Chrom und Blei verhindern bzw. zu derer Immobilisierung beitragen. Im Gegensatz dazu wird die Mobilit{\"a}t von Zink in Anwesenheit von diesen Verbindungen erh{\"o}ht. Niedermolekulare Monocarbons{\"a}uren und stickstoffhaltige Heteroaromaten tragen, mit Ausnahme von Blei, zur Freisetzung bzw. Mobilisierung von Schwermetallen aus dem Reservoirgestein bei. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse dieser Arbeit best{\"a}tigen das Risiko massiver Ausf{\"a}llungen auf der kalten Seite der Geothermieanlage bei Inbetriebnahme des Kraftwerks, wenn keine an den Fluidchemismus angepassten Pr{\"a}ventionsmethoden eingesetzt werden. Die Isotopenzusammensetzung der Fluidkomponenten sowie geringf{\"u}gige Schwankungen der Gaszusammensetzung im kontinuierlichen Anlagenbetrieb l{\"a}sst eine Kommunikation des unterpermischen Reservoirs mit dem darunter liegenden Oberkarbon vermuten, was eine nachtr{\"a}gliche Ver{\"a}nderung der Fluidzusammensetzung beim Dauerbetrieb der Anlage bedeuten kann.},
