Surfactant liposome interactions have been previously studied through different methods and techniques. We present here a classical physical chemistry study on liposome solutions added to destabilizing agents at concentrations well above the solubilization ...
At the beginning of this article an in-depth comparison of electrophilic and nucleophilic aromatic and heterocyclic substitution processes examines their scopes of applicability in a new light. In the subsequent parts, recent progress in the area of halide ...
The characterization of Fe/ZSM5 zeolite materials, the nature of Fe-sites active in N2O direct decomposition, as well as the rate limiting step are still a matter of debate. The mechanism of N2O decomposition on the binuclear oxo-hydroxo bridged extraframe ...
The protein farnesyltransferase (FTase) is a Zn2+-metalloenzyme that catalyzes the farnesylation reaction, i.e., the transfer of the 15-carbon atom farnesyl group from farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) to a specific cysteine of protein substrates. Oncogenic Ras p ...
Translation lies at the heart of every living organism, it is the process synthesizing the proteins, a main component in the cells. Earlier studies have considered protein synthesis as mainly initiation limited, modeling it as a first-order reaction with r ...
A tetragonal molybdenum nitride (β-Mo2N) has been prepared by temperature programmed treatment of MoO3 in flowing N2 + H2 and for the first time shown to catalyze the liquid phase selective hydrogenation (T = 423 K; PH2=11bar) of a series of para-substitut ...

Lack of improved drinking water sources contributes a lot to many waterborne diseases caused by pathogens which include viruses, protozoa, bacteria or worms. It is essential to develop and promote treatment methods in order to provide pathogen-free safe dr ...
The photo-curing behavior of composites containing nanosized SiO2 in an acrylated hyperbranched polymer matrix was investigated by means of photo differential scanning calorimetry. The chemical conversion data were analyzed using an autocatalytic model, pa ...
A series of sulfonium salts derived from 1,5-dithiopent-1-enopyranosides was prepared in a three-step sequence from protected D- and L-erythrofuranoses. The key step is the nucleophilic displacement of a leaving group by a sulfur atom of carbohydrate-deriv ...
