Large Negative Thermal Expansion in Pentacene due to Steric Hindrance (2007)

Haas, S., Batlogg, B., Besnard, C., Schiltz, M., Kloc, C., Siegrist, T.

The uniaxial negative thermal expansion in pentacene crystals along $a$ is a particularity in the series of the oligoacenes, and exeptionally large for a crystalline solid. Full x-ray structure...

Polarization-dependence of anomalous scattering in brominated DNA and RNA molecules, and importance of crystal orientation in single- and multiple-wavelength anomalous diffraction phasing (2007)

Sanishvili, R, Besnard, C, Camus, F, Fleurant, M, Pattison, P, Bricogne, G, ...

In this paper the anisotropy of anomalous scattering at the Br K-absorption edge in brominated nucleotides is investigated, and it is shown that this effect can give rise to a marked directional...

Using X-ray absorption spectra to monitor specific radiation damage to anomalously scattering atoms in macromolecular crystallography (2007)

Oliéric, V., Ennifar, E., Meents, A., Fleurant, M., Besnard, C., Pattison, P., ...

Radiation damage in macromolecular crystals is not suppressed even at 90 K. This is particularly true for covalent bonds involving an anomalous scatterer (such as bromine) at the `peak wavelength'....

Exploiting X-ray induced anisotropic lattice changes to improve intensity extraction in protein powder diffraction: Application to heavy atom detection (2007)

Besnard, C., Camus, F., Fleurant, M., Dahlström, A, Wright, J. P., Margiolaki, I., ...

X-ray induced anisotropic variations of cell parameters in porcine pancreatic elastase (PPE) were used in a multi-Pawley refinement in order to improve the deconvolution of overlapping peaks...

Powder diffraction studies on proteins: An overview of data collection approaches (2007)

Margiolaki, I., Wright, J. P., Fitch, A. N., Fox, G. C., Labrador, A., Von Dreele, R. B., ...

Following the seminal work of Von Dreele, high quality powder X-ray diffraction studies on proteins are being established as a valuable complementary technique to single-crystal measurements. Several...

Azinyl sulfides. LXXXI. 14-Phenyl-7-thiapyrano[2,3-c;6,5-c ']diquinoline-14-carbonitrile (2005)

Besnard, C, Kloc, C, Siegrist, T, Svensson, C, Pluta, K

The molecules of the title compound, C26H15N3S, have a pentacyclic ring system which is almost planar, with the central ring in a flattened boat conformation. The folding angle between the two...

Synthesis and structure of dipyrido-1,4-dithiins (2005)

Morak, B., Pluta, K., Suwinska, K., Grymel, M., Besnard, C., Schiltz, M., ...

Synthesis, properties and reactions of two isomeric dipyrido-1,4-dithiins of the C-2h and C-2v symmetry are described. Their structure detennination and identification are based on spectroscopic...

Re4As6S3, a thio-spinel-related cluster system. (2003)

Besnard, C, Svensson, C, Ståhl, K, Siegrist, T

We have synthesized a new compound with formula Re4As6S3 and characterized its crystal structure by Rietveld powder diffraction methods. Re4As6S3 crystallizes in an face-centered cubic unit cell,...

An insulinoma nuclear factor binding to GGGCCC motifs in human insulin gene.

Reibel, L, Besnard, C, Lores, P, Jami, J, Gacon, G

Cell specific expression of the insulin gene is achieved through transcriptional mechanisms operating on 5' flanking DNA elements. In the enhancer of rat I insulin gene, two elements, the Nir and Far...

Selection against expression of the Escherichia coli gene gpt in hprt+ mouse teratocarcinoma and hybrid cells.

Besnard, C, Monthioux, E, Jami, J

Thioxanthine is toxic for mammalian cells transformed by the dominant selectable marker gpt. It allowed us to select, in the presence of the endogenous hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase...
