In biosensors fabrication, entrapment in polymeric matrices allows efficient immobilization of the biorecognition elements without compromising their structure and activity. When considering living cells, the biocompatibility of both the matrix and the polymerization procedure are additional critical factors. Bio-polymeric gels

High resolution spectrum of methyl lactate, a chiral alpha-hydroxyester, has been investigated using a molecular jet Fourier transform microwave spectrometer. High level ab initio calculations were employed to study the conformational isomerism of methyl lactate. The observed rotational spectrum confirms

Intermolecular hydrogen bonding competes with an intramolecular hydrogen bond when methanol binds to an alpha-hydroxyester. Disruption of the intramolecular OH...O=C contact in favour of a cooperative OH...OH...O=C sequence is evidenced by FTIR spectroscopy for the addition of methanol to the
