Abstract:
A negative active material for rechargeable lithium batteries and a method of manufacturing the negative active material are provided. The negative active material for rechargeable lithium batteries includes at least one generally spherical assembly having flake-shaped materials that are capable of doping and dedoping lithium, and are arranged in a generally spherical shape defining a central pore. The negative active material imparts improved cycle-life characteristics.
Abstract:
The invention is concerned with N-terminally pegylated polypeptides capable of binding to the prolactin receptor. Such polypeptides may for instance be N-terminally pegylated antagonists of the prolactin receptor, such as for instance prolactin variants.
Abstract:
The present invention is concerned with peptides binding to the prolactin receptor, wherein said peptides have an improved binding via binding site 1 (BS1) to the prolactin receptor. In one embodiment, said improved binding is achieved by mutation of positions 61, 71 and 73.
