The coordinated regulation of gene expression is required for homeostasis, growth and development in all organisms. Such coordination may be partly achieved at the level of messenger RNA stability, in which the targeted destruction of subsets of transcript ...
The activity of penicillin acylase has been studied in aq. and org. solvents, as free enzyme as well as immobilized within the membrane of liq.-core capsules. The activity of the enzyme is inhibited by the accumulation of the products of the hydrolysis rea ...
Pure and K-doped vanadia/titania prepared by different methods have been studied in order to elucidate the role of vanadia species (monomeric, polymeric, bulk) in catalytic toluene partial oxidation. The ratio of different vanadia species was controlled by ...
The electrochemically induced mass spectrometric tagging of cysteines by substituted hydroquinones was studied for peptides in a classical electrospray solvent (i.e., MeOH/H2O/AcOH 50/49/1). The tagging efficiency was tested with different hydroquinone com ...
Development of selective oxidation catalysts is a major concern of modern chemical industry. Among several systems, VTi-oxide based catalysts showed the most promising and versatile, able to catalyse key reactions like oxidation of o-xylene to phtalic anhy ...
Hybrid Car-Parrinello QM/MM calcns. are used to investigate the reaction mechanism of hydrolysis of a common b-lactam substrate (cefotaxime) by the monozinc b-lactamase from Bacillus cereus (BcII). The calcns. suggest a fundamental role for an active site ...
The phosphido-substituted triruthenium cluster Ru-3(CO)(9)(mu-H)(mu-PPh2) is shown to react with H-2 to form the trihydride cluster Ru-3(CO)(9)(H)(mu-H)(2)(mu-PPh2), which undergoes a number of re-arrangement reactions on heating to yield other phosphido-s ...
Methods for the synthesis of dihydroazaphenanthrene fused to macrocycles I [X = CH2, O, Y = (CH2)m, m = 1,2,4,6, n = 1,2] and medium-ring heterocycles II (R1 = H, Me, CH2Ph, etc., R2 = Me, n-Bu, CH2Ph, etc.) as well as 1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-diones, e.g. I ...
The hydrogenase maturation proteins HypF and HypE catalyze the synthesis of the CN ligands of the active site iron of the NiFe-hydrogenases using carbamoylphosphate as a substrate. HypE protein from Escherichia coli was purified from a transformant overexp ...
