Depressed individuals showed a striking preference for negative colors choosing relatively few positive colors when compared to healthy controls.
Here, we briefly review recent progress where encapsulation of an atom A or a group of atoms G or exohedral atom(s) have been used to stabilize cage-like nanoclusters/fullerenes of material B. The encapsulation enhances the stability of nanoclusters and can lead to striking preference for a specific size.
As discussed in more detail below, we found that the striking preference for P2 Leu in small substrates did not predict specificity only for cleavage sites with P2 Leu in larger peptide or protein substrates.
