Probing Functional Thin Films with Grazing Incidence X-Ray Scattering: The Power of Indexing by Detlef-M. Smilgies

“…Grazing incidence small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS, GIWAXS) has been widely applied for the study of functional thin films, be it for the characterization of nanostructured morphologies in block copolymers, nanocomposites, and nanoparticle assemblies, or for the packing and orientation of aromatic molecules or conjugated polymers. Solution-processed thin films are typically uniaxial powders, with a specific crystallographic plane oriented parallel to the substrate surface while ordered domains assume random orientations laterally. …”

Chemical Feature-Based Molecular Modeling of Urotensin-II Receptor Antagonists: Generation of Predictive Pharmacophore Model for Early Drug Discovery by Anubhuti Pandey, Sarvesh Kumar Paliwal, Shailendra Kumar Paliwal

“…For a series of 35 piperazino-phthalimide and piperazino-isoindolinone based urotensin-II receptor (UT) antagonists, a thoroughly validated 3D pharmacophore model has been developed, consisting of four chemical features: one hydrogen bond acceptor lipid (HBA_L), one hydrophobe (HY), and two ring aromatic (RA). Multiple validation techniques like CatScramble, test set prediction, and mapping analysis of advanced known antagonists have been employed to check the predictive power and robustness of the developed model. …”
