The path integral methodology for computation of the equilibrium isotope effect is described and applied to three [1,5] sigmatropic hydrogen shift reactions. An efficient estimator for the derivative of the free energy is used, which shortens the computati ...
Due to residual oil retained within it, rapeseed press-cake has been shown to be effective for the removal of atrazine from water through an absorption mechanism. However, it is difficult to put this into practice due to the hygroscopic nature of the press ...
Carrier-mediated drug delivery has emerged as a powerful methodology for the treatment of various pathologies. The therapeutic index of traditional and novel drugs is enhanced via the increase of specificity due to targeting of drugs to a particular tissue ...
Enzymes that are involved in the synthesis and processing of oligosaccharides, such as glycosidases, are important catalysts for the specific assembly of oligosaccharide structures on proteins. Design and preparation of selective inhibitors of these enzyme ...
Crystals with the scheelite structure have been grown by the Czochralski technique from a melt of composition (Na0.5La0.345Ce0.15Er0.005) MoO4 (NLM: Ce, Er) and have been characterized by scanning and transmission electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysi ...
Huntington's disease (HD) is a mid-life-onset neurodegenerative disorder characterized by involuntary movements, personality changes and dementia. It progresses to death within 10-20 years after onset. There is currently no cure to treat this fatal disease ...
A review. The promising drug candidate indazolium trans-[tetrachlorobis(1H-indazole)ruthenate(III)] (KP1019) is the second Ru-based anticancer agent to enter clin. trials. In this review, which is an update of a paper from 2006, the exptl. evidence for the ...
[ 1] A large gas cloud erupted unexpectedly in 1986 from Lake Nyos, the larger of the two Cameroonian "Killer Lakes,'' with devastating consequences. Regular monitoring subsequently revealed that the deep water of the lake was gradually recharged with CO2. ...
The case of a brominated RNA crystal structure determination in which standard three-wavelength MAD phasing was unsuccessful because of fast X-ray-induced debromination was reinvestigated [Ennifar et al. ( 2002), Acta Cryst. D58, 1262 - 1268]. It was found ...
This contribution describes the synthesis and ring-opening (co)polymerization of several L-lysine N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) that contain labile protective groups at the ε-NH2 position. Four of the following L-lysine NCAs were investigated: Nε-trifluoroace ...
