Carotenoid prodn. by microorganisms, as opposed to chem. synthesis, could fulfill an ever-increasing demand for 'all natural' products. The yeast Phaffia rhodozyma has received considerable attention because it produces the red pigment astaxanthin, commonl ...
A novel approach for the mathematical modeling of (13)C label incorporation into amino acids via the TCA cycle that eliminates the explicit calculation of the labeling of the TCA cycle intermediates is described, resulting in one differential equation per ...
The regulation of the eukaryotic cell cycle depends on the action of several related Ser/Thr protein kinases called cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), which are transiently activated at specific stages of the cycle, and which are also very promising targets ...
Hydroxyl radicals dominate daytime tropospheric chem., responsible for reactive removal of most trace gases (e.g., volatile org. compds.[VOC]), and is an active participant in the NO and NO2 cycle. Pump-and-probe LIDAR was used to examine the OH- chem. in ...
A quant. structure-reactivity relationship for the Michael-type addn. of thiols onto acrylates was detd. Several thiol-contg. peptides were investigated by examg. the correlation between the second-order rate const. of their addn. onto PEG-diacrylate and t ...
A convergent total synthesis of sanjoinine G1 (I), a 14-membered cyclopeptide alkaloid was described. Formation of aryl alkyl ether bond with concomitant construction of macrocycle by way of an intramol. SNAr reaction was the key step in this synthesis. On ...
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) in low and medium magnetic fields yields well-resolved natural abundance proton and decoupled phosphorus spectra from small (1-10 cc) volumes of brain in vivo in minutes. With this tool, neurochemical research ...
A general strategy for the synthesis of acerogenin-type diarylheptanoids contg. an endocyclic biaryl ether bond has been developed, and convergent total syntheses of acerogenin A, B, C, and L and aceroside IV have been accomplished. Cycloetherification of ...
Ab initio mol. dynamics (AIMD) and combined Hybrid/AIMD simulations appear as promising candidates for an in situ modeling of enzymic reactions. In order to probe the capabilities of these methods for the characterization of enzymic processes we have chose ...
Although labile protons that are exchanging rapidly with those of the solvent cannot be observed directly, their exchange rate constants can be determined by indirect detection of scalar-coupled neighboring nuclei. We have used heteronuclear NMR spectrosco ...
