Application

  • Single and mixture effects of bisphenol A and benzophenone-3: Discusses the immune system effects when exposed to benzophenone-3 and bisphenol A, important for understanding chemical interactions in drug discovery and safety evaluations (Fischer et al., 2024).
  • A surface-independent bioglue using photo-crosslinkable benzophenone moiety: Develops a novel bioglue using benzophenone, which is crucial for applications in medical adhesives and tissue engineering, reflecting the versatility of benzophenone in creating cross-linked polymers (Shi et al., 2024).
  • Photo trapping voltage-gated cardiac sodium channels: Utilizes benzophenone to study local motions within cardiac sodium channels, offering insights into molecular dynamics important for designing drugs targeting cardiovascular diseases (Goodchild and Ahern, 2024).
