In this thesis, the synthesis of oligomers of β-amino acids (β-peptides) is described. Their secondary structure is investigated by several techniques, in particular nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, but also circular dichroism and infrared sp ...
We report quantitative dissociation yields for the reaction CH3OH (v(OH))-->nhnu CH3+OH induced by infrared multiphoton excitation of methanol pre-excited to various levels of the OH stretching vibration (v(OH)=0, 1, 3, 5). The yields are measured by detec ...
Linear peptide H-Pro-Thr(Psi(Me,Me)pro)-Pro-OH containing a preformed cis-Pro-Thr(Psi(Me,Me)pro) tertiary amide bond cyclises instantaneously and free of formation of oligomeric structures to the cyclic tripeptide cyclo-[Pro-Thr(Psi(Me,Me)pro)-Pro]. Even a ...
An aq. soln. of peroxynitrous acid has been studied using first-principles mol. dynamics simulations based on d. functional theory. The relative Helmholtz energies of different conformers have been detd. via thermodn. integration with constraints. At contr ...
Analogues of the opioid peptides [D-Phe(3)]morphiceptin (H-Tyr-Pro-D-Phe-Pro-NH2) and endomorphin-2 (H-Tyr-Pro-Phe-Phe-NH2) containing the pseudoproline (Psi Pro) (4R)-thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid (CyS[Psi (R1,R2) pro]) or (4S)-oxazolidine-4-carboxylic a ...
PX4+[Al(OR)4]- (X = I: 1a, X = Br: 1b) was prepd. from X2, PX3, and Ag[Al(OR)4] [R = C(CF3)3] in CH2Cl2 at -30 Deg in 69-86% yield. P2X5+ salts were prepd. from 2PX3 and Ag[Al(OR)4] in CH2Cl2 at -30 Deg yielding almost quant. P2X5+[Al(OR)4]- (X = I: 3a, X ...
Spectroscopic monitoring techniques have many advantages for bioprocess monitoring and control, including simultaneous multi-analyte detns., in-situ sterilizability, and low maintenance during operation. This study discusses the combined application of flu ...
Using the technique of double-resonance overtone photofragment spectroscopy (DROPS), we have measured rotationally resolved vibrational overtone transitions to the previously unobserved 5v(1), 6v(1), and 7v(1) levels of gas-phase trans-nitrous acid (HONO) ...
Method and apparatus to study biological molecules or biological components at or in self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on metal surfaces (2) such as gold in aqueous environments (6) using attenuated total internal reflection Fourier transform infra-red (ATR ...
The gas phase species produced in rf plasmas of hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO), Si2O(CH3)(6), diluted with oxygen, have been investigated. The complementarity of Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy and mass spectrometry allows the determinatio ...
