The Effect of Stereochemistry on the Thermodynamic Characteristics of the Binding of Fenoterol Stereoisomers to the Beta(2)-Adrenoceptor
The binding thermodynamics of the stereoisomers of fenoterol, (R,R′)-, (S,S′)-, (R,S′)-, and (S,R′)-fenoterol, to the β2-adrenergic receptor (β2-AR) have been determined.

Inclined Dislocation-Pair Relaxation Mechanism in Homoepitaxial Green GaInN/GaN Light-Emitting Diodes
The creation of symmetrical pairs of inclined dislocations was observed in the GaInN/GaN quantum wells (QWs) of c-axis grown green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) on low-defect density bulk GaN substrate, but not…
