The initial phase of ozone decomposition in natural water (t < 20 s) is poorly understood. It has recently been shown to result in very high transient HO center dot concentrations and, thereby, plays an essential role during processes such as bromate forma ...
A visible-pump/UV-probe transient absorption is used to characterize the ultrafast dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin with 80-fs time resoln. We identify three spectral components in the 265- to 310-nm region, related to the all-trans retinal, tryptophan (Trp)- ...
The 5-HT3 serotonin receptor belongs to the cys-loop ligand-gated ion channel (LGIC) family. It is located in the central and peripheral nervous system and is implicated in certain pathologic situations. The 5-HT3 receptor is investigated here, as a typica ...
The invention relates to the prepn. of esters R1R2NCH2CH(Nu)CO2R3 (R1-R3 are protecting groups and Nu is a nucleophilic group) by reaction of R1R2NCH(CH2-Y)CO2R3 (Y is a leaving group) with a nucleophile. Thus, treatment of (R)-Bn2NCH(CH2O3SMe)CO2Me with N ...
The on-line electrochemical tagging (EC-tagging) of cysteine residues in proteins during mass spectrometry is studied to probe the cysteine environment. Benzoquinone probes electrogenerated at a microspray electrode react with the thiol functions of the pr ...
During a previous, exploratory project in our group, it was observed that duplexes formed by oligonucleotides modified with polar 2'-O-substituents were more tolerant towards the addition of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) than RNA and DNA duplexes [1]. Inspired ...
Coupling of substituted 2-iodoanilines with Me (S)-2-[di(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5-oxopentanoate, derived from glutamic acid, in DMF in the presence of Pd(OAc)2 and DABCO provides substituted tryptophans in good to excellent yields. [on SciFinder (R)] ...
The sequencing of genomes of several organisms and advances in high throughput technologies for transcriptome and proteome anal. has allowed detailed mechanistic studies of transcription and translation using math. frameworks that allow integration of both ...
Ultrathin polypeptide multilayer films are assembled by the sequential electrostatic adsorption of monolayers of poly-L-lysine and poly-L-glutamic acid onto carboxylic acid terminated alkanethiol-modified gold surfaces. The polypeptide multilayer films are ...
Despite their initial characterization as histone deacetylases controlling transcription, sirtuins also turn out to be critical regulators of metabolism. In this issue of Cell, Haigis et al. (2006) demonstrate that the mammalian Sir2 homolog SIRT4 acts in ...
