A novel synthetic approach to 2,6-bis(acrylamido)pyridine (BAAPy) has been developed, producing a dual-function monomer able to self-crosslink while providing functional binding sites through its amide and pyridine groups. The monomer's structure and purity were confirmed through NMR, FTIR, and HPLC …

We present GarpN, a software tool designed to integrate qualitative and quantitative modelling. GarpN has three functionalities: translating a qualitative representation into a quantitative model, running numerical simulations and detecting quantitative states, and matching these states to their qualitative …
