Angulo B, Fraile JM, Gil L, Herrerías CI. Comparison of Chemical and Enzymatic Methods for the Transesterification of Waste Fish Oil Fatty Ethyl Esters with Different Alcohols. ACS Omega. 2020 Jan 17;5(3):1479-1487. doi: 10.1021/acsomega.9b03147. PMID: 32010821;

Abstract. Fatty acid esters of 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (EH), 2-hexyl-1-decanol (HD), and isopropanol have been obtained from a mixture of ethyl esters obtained as a fish oil byproduct. Homogeneous base catalysis with alkaline hydroxides and alkoxides has been compared with the use of two commercially available immobilized lipases.

Tan DC, Kassim NK, Ismail IS, Hamid M, Ahamad Bustamam MS. Identification of Antidiabetic Metabolites from Paederia foetida L. Twigs by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based Metabolomics and Molecular Docking Study. Biomed Res Int. 2019 May 29;2019:7603125. doi: 10.1155/2019/7603125.  

Abstract. This study is to evaluate the enzymatic inhibition activity of Paederia foetida twigs extracts and to identify the metabolites responsible for the bioactivity by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) metabolomics profiling.  

Li ZQ, Zhang S, Luo JY, Wang SB, Dong SL, Cui JJ. Odorant-binding proteins display high affinities for behavioral attractants and repellents in the natural predator Chrysopa pallens. Comp Biochem Physiol A Mol Integr Physiol. 2015 Jul;185:51-7. doi: 10.1016/j.cbpa.2015.03.011.

Abstract.  In this study, we cloned five odorant-binding protein (OBP) genes from C. pallens (CpalOBPs).

Li ZQ, Zhang S, Cai XM, Luo JY, Dong SL, Cui JJ, Chen ZM. Three odorant binding proteins may regulate the behavioural response of Chrysopa pallens to plant volatiles and the aphid alarm pheromone (E)-β-farnesene. Insect Mol Biol. 2017 Jun;26(3):255-265. doi: 10.1111/imb.12295.

Abstract. Understanding the functions of C. pallens odorant-binding proteins (CpalOBPs) and behavioural responses of C. pallens to plant volatiles and aphid alarm pheromone (E)-ß-farnesene has important implications for population establishment after lacewing release.

Arrese-Igor S, Alegría A, Colmenero J. On the non-exponentiality of the dielectric Debye-like relaxation of monoalcohols. J Chem Phys. 2017 Mar 21;146(11):114502. doi: 10.1063/1.4978585.

Abstract. We have investigated the Debye-like relaxation in a series of monoalcohols (MAs) by broadband dielectric spectroscopy and thermally stimulated depolarization current techniques in order to get further insight on the time dispersion of this intriguing relaxation.
