Abstract
The Cover Feature explores a bioinspired approach to CO2 capture by using dipeptides. A database of 960 dipeptides was analyzed by automated modeling workflows and quantum chemical methods. Statistical analysis identified amino acid subunits that enhance CO2 binding through cooperative effects, thus offering insights into designing efficient carbon capture materials. More information can be found in the Research Article by K. D. Vogiatzis and co-workers (DOI: 10.1002/cphc.202400498).
期刊介绍:
ChemPhysChem is one of the leading chemistry/physics interdisciplinary journals (ISI Impact Factor 2018: 3.077) for physical chemistry and chemical physics. It is published on behalf of Chemistry Europe, an association of 16 European chemical societies.
ChemPhysChem is an international source for important primary and critical secondary information across the whole field of physical chemistry and chemical physics. It integrates this wide and flourishing field ranging from Solid State and Soft-Matter Research, Electro- and Photochemistry, Femtochemistry and Nanotechnology, Complex Systems, Single-Molecule Research, Clusters and Colloids, Catalysis and Surface Science, Biophysics and Physical Biochemistry, Atmospheric and Environmental Chemistry, and many more topics. ChemPhysChem is peer-reviewed.
